Cold soda holds on to carbonation better. Try keeping it in the fridge before pouring. This also reduces how much the ice waters down your soda
Cartels have boats, but no one's shipping drugs up to Canada just to smuggle them south: They just get shipped directly to the US
Trump is just making up an excuse to justify cutting off trade with Canada.
Really, the whole fentanyl thing seems like scaremongering: People do overdose on it, but you won't die from touching it or inhaling trace quantity. It's not even the most potent opioid known, not even close to it.
Not directly. That electricity is converted to heat when it's used: All devices are space heaters, some just do other things as well. Even if not used, it would still be converted to heat by the panels. There's no getting around the conservation of energy.
In theory, we could send that power out into space as microwaves or light, but in practice the effect would be negligible. The direct heat output of every human activity is nothing compared to the sun: All the electricity generated on earth is around 3 Terrawatts, while the sun hits us with 200 Pettawatts, 66 thousand times more.
On the other hand, burning fuels releases gasses like CO2, which can traps sunlight and creates thousands of times more heat than the actual amount of power generated. If we stopped burning fuel, it would stop the current massive increase in global temperature, which would then slowly be reversed by things like the carbonate-silicate cycle.
