    1.2-million sq. ft. solar panel 'Gigafactory' in Buffalo almost ready ...
    Soon after SolarCity acquired solar panel maker Silevo in the summer of 2014, it announced the construction of a 1.2-million-square-foot 'Solar Gigafactory' in Buffalo, New York. The move had two main goals: 1) For the solar installer to get its own secure supply of high-efficiency solar panels (Silevo panels are currently 21% efficient, but the company claims that they can get to 24%) and 2) drive down the cost of the panels and of installing them.SolarCity/Promo imageIf the panels are higher ..

  • Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor headed to the Pro Bowl

    Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor headed to the Pro Bowl
    qdog112 says: Jan 25, 2016 11:57 AM Congratulations Mr. Taylor. Here’s hoping you have a great game and that Rex gets out of your way, so they can realize your skills. Numbers don’t lie. When I said during the Bills QB competition that if he gets on the field, they will not get him off, I was right. I also said he is a poor man’s Russell Wilson (skill-wise). The only reason is that, he has not been able to showcase his abilities. We now have a small sample. As it stands, he is poised to replace..

    Arians: Carson Palmer didn't lose “the damn game”
    Getty ImagesIf not for quarterback Carson Palmer’s play this season, there’s not much chance the Cardinals would have been in the NFC championship game against the Panthers. That cliched reminder is offered only because of how wrong things went in Carolina for Palmer. His four interceptions and two fumbles loomed large in the 49-15 blowout loss to Carolina and Palmer said after the game that he “kept digging us a hole” with the turnovers. Palmer said that his dislocated finger was not the reas..

  • Belichick wanted harder extra points, and he got them

    Belichick wanted harder extra points, and he got them
    APPatriots coach Bill Belichick had wanted the extra point to be made more difficult for years. In 2015, enough teams agreed with him to move it from a 19-yard kick to a 32-yarder. Belichick may now want to change it back. Sunday’s early miss of an extra point — his first in 523 attempts — by kicker Stephen Gostkowski loomed over the entire game, with the Patriots eventually forced to go for two late in an effort to send the game to overtime. The many enemies of Bill Belichick will surely b..

  • Why Elephants in American Zoos May Be the New Orcas in Blackfish

    Why Elephants in American Zoos May Be the New Orcas in Blackfish
    That still seems kind of low. I guess I never thought about how much an elephant costs.It's interesting. One of the arguments we've made is it can easily cost over $100,000 a year to maintain an elephant in captivity. What we're saying, and many other elephant experts and scientists are saying, is that the zoos are claiming to rescue the elephants when there are viable options to keep the elephants in Africa that have been put forward. You might've seen the movie The Cove, about the dolphins in ..
