the power closest to the customer is what in actuallity is consumed

it is just a 'zero sum' transaction

Yeah, because we shave pennies out of every deal.

woah, no way; 2% of the GENRATION

not DISTRIBUTION

these are SEPERATE

"The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that electricity transmission and distribution (T&D) losses average about 5% of the electricity that is transmitted and distributed annually in the United States."

Big woop.

and distribution loses vary based on weather, humidity, condition of the line, votage potentional etc

think about that statement for a moment before throwing it up there

Centralized systems are a bad idea. They should not exist. End of story.

If you haven't built your system in a decentralized fashion then you're doing it wrong.

is the distance the same between every generatior and customer?

@Weez I'm not sure about **everybody**....but you and I sure do

does the amount of loss not increase with distance between these two?

My man. @SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck

no, you don't comprehend; you just use

remember the internet being a bad thing?

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck - Make sure you tell your therapist that the tazmanian devil is making your life a living nightmare, and you wish that cartoon character would shut the fuck up.

case and point

>Which cartoon character 😉

@Arthur Grayborn I don't need a therapist for YOUR problems

I **am** the therapist 😁

I'm autistic. Sperging puts me in my element.

the amount of loss is a function of the distance between generator and producer

Yes

Five hour internet argument?

Hells yes.

We know, Arthur

👏🏻

You're the perfect balance to MA.

It's amazing really

the shared grid system which is centeralized POOLS the spare capacity

This server is now balanced, as all things should be.

No, I'm the one who combines with MA to become the blight on Athens chat logs.

so that the TOTAL loss is 5%

Unironically I'd vote them into office lol

but YOUR system woulnd't HAVE a SHARED grid

We'd be arguing too much to ever get anything done.

your system would have SEPERATE loses

Perfect.

That's the point

Haha

Keep him busy.
