Dec 23rd 2008 12:45PM Neither link gives numbers, but for perspective: a Nintendo DS power supply's output is 5.2V, 450mA; that's 2.34W (peak).
You'll need to charge ~427 hours (almost 18 solid days) at that rate to use a kWh -- average cost per kWh in the US: $0.10.
So it's neat, a nice symbolic accessory & your $50 does support R&D for this type of thing-- but your direct benefits are small.

Animal collisions up 50% over 2000 {Autoblog}
Oct 30th 2008 11:05PM "It's just anecdotal, but I see lots more deer carcasses in Michigan where hunting is big than I do in other states with lots of deer, like Ohio and Minnesota."
Well it's an interesting idea, but with the news stories about increased deer populations after hunting restrictions and deer becoming suburban pests, the idea that hunters are scaring them onto the roads more seems unlikely.
"And hunting is what decimated the deer's predators to begin with."
OK, but, so what?
"I can't believe bear baiting is legal in Michigan. Talk about cruel."
I agree.

Oct 30th 2008 10:42PM Yeah, I took a long road trip last weekend and had deer cross in front of me twice (on interstate) -- which is a record for me.
I don't hunt because it seems like it sucks, but to each their own & I would also encourage you hunters to go bag some deer.
