Let's say a wind power plant and a coal power plant both cost $1,000,000 to build. Leaving maintenance out of the equation, as you are, assume the coal power plant consumes $10,000 worth of coal per month, and that they both fall apart in 50 years. The coal power plant also produces 1000 Mwh...

The american is becoming frugal and seeing the value in the mid-range. Pay $2k for a good solid-built laptop that will last you 4 years with almost guaranteed satisfaction. $650 for a phone you'll be paying at least $30/month for anyway. You lose more money, more time, and more health by...

A wooden sword is a "deadly weapon"?
