I really love riot's videos whenever they put them out. From the Road to the Cup video from just a while ago to the Mac Client Beta Video and the Clash of Fates video they have always been fantastic, and a pleasure to watch.

1. I'm honestly going to music free in this scenario. I'm bad at cooking in the first place, and I need every bit of focus I have to make sure I don't burn something.

2. It's a house party, so some pop would be on. Katy Perry, Ellie Goulding, things like that.

3. Silence. I'm not huge into music so in a moment like that, I prefer silence.

4. Usually the walk clears my mind more than the music, but something with a nice guitar riff, and lyrics I don't even have to think about would be nice, so maybe some Rammstein.

I've actually gone through several during my time at school. First I played Viola for a year before switching schools, and ending up playing the Clarinet for a few years, until I moved, and didn't have music in school anymore. Since then, I actually learned some classical guitar, but never really got very good at it.

While I agree there are risks, the chance of any accident is not huge, and even if there is an accident, the chances of it being a huge accident are almost nonexistent. The thing is that fossiil fuels also have their own risks, espeically oil spills. Besides, their emmissions contribute global climate change.

Point being, personally I feel that the best way to deal with increasing energy needs is to increase our nuclear capacity instead of using more fossil fuels, until such a time that fully renewable energy is feasible.

I do like the the idea of a decentralized grid of renewables, but again the problem is that not all places have access to the same renewables. In a place like Finland during the winter, there is really nothing except the wind, and how do you get electricity when the wind stops blowing?
