Will Amazon Grow Up to Be Wal-Mart?

<JeffB wrote, " Amazon is ALL about the customer exsperience">

I deal with both Amazon and WalMart for the same reason...to buy stuff, not for the experience.


<"I hope to God that AMZN never becomes Wal-Mart.">

I doubt God is very concerned about that.

Will Samsung Be the Next Green Giant?

What is 1 watt standby power? Does that mean that during
a blackout, the appliance won't die for 1.02 seconds?

Electricity Is Not an Energy Source

And neither is oil or hydro....all energy
is ultimately sourced from the sun.

Kroger Gains Back Market Share from Wal-Mart

stations on WalMart sites around here are branded MurphyUSA.

Death Comes to Wal-Mart China

How do you know what was going on in the mind of the alleged shoplifter? How do you know she was suspicious of the security team. Did she write in blood, "I was suspicious"?

Nuclear Poised for Comeback: GE, Hitachi Win Design Approval for Passive Reactor

All IMBY (In my back yard) customers should have lower rates subsidized by a stiff NIMBY tax. This system should be applied to electric, natural gas , and petroleum. Let the tree huggers eat tree bark....it's a staple in the North Korean diet.

Peak Oil for Dummies

Chicken Little would have been wiser to keep quiet and invest in a heavy duty umbrella and a kevlar helmet.

Why Are Natural Gas Producers Expanding Production So Aggressively?

Electric Cars Could Dominate Market by 2030

In 2030 I'll be 91 but I only buy used vehicles, so maybe I'll be able to celebrate my century mark with a good used EV, but hey, we've had electric wheelchairs for many decades.

Exxon's Biofuel Bet

Priming the Pump for $20/Gal. Gas: Interview with Chris Steiner

WalMart will die? Don't think so. They're quite innovative. Been experimenting with neighborhood stores for years. If WalMart needs to tap the author's mind, they can buy his book or hire him as a greeter.

How I Hedged My Gas Prices

Bob van der V,

I would say that Southwest's hedge worked perfectly. Do you think they're upset about the reduction in fuel costs? Do you think that you could do a better job of running Southwest's fuel hedge system? Maybe you could...Maybe they'll be calling you.
