euro vs £ in last week
Google owns a switching center. Federally regulated, privately owned.
That's how data makes it from one internet company's lines to another's.
the grid is the system that allows any SINGLE company to minimize the number of reserve KW they keep idle
you fucking moron, carl, seriously
you say it within 20 seconds
you dont even know what youre talking about
truscum are real trans people aka transmedicalists. transmeds arent fucking insane, like the tucutes that was harassing contrapoints.
the tucutes are the ones you think encompass all that is trans. helicopter meme? that was started off the image that tucutes show the world (seriously its a 2012 joke still being used to misrepresent actual trans people. tucutes are literally what ruins the public image of what transgender means.)
hope the £ drops a bit so I can add more shorts on the euro
what's up animal kingdom
so they spread their spares around
newest video
bye
the system is no differnet than the current AMazon model of JIT i nventory
inventory is expensive to store
@ManAnimal - ...and in the end you make the entire system SUPER vulnerable to a deliberate attack, ensuring that the consequences would be national and catastrophic.
but just in time inventory allows spares to be available without storing them
remember to scissor your balls guise
they're the devil's jewels
because someone always has what you need and can get it there when yu n eed it
yes, this is true
Take out four or five major power plants and you knock out half the nation's electric grid.
but the expense required to run it in the fashion you are suggesting?
Whereas a smaller scale model would be far more resilient. Take out four or five power plants and four or five cities are without power.
Instead of the entire Eastern seaboard.
realize that a single substation transformer takes 6 months to wind
6 months
the grid can be made more robust
and in fact, the grid IS far more robust that what you are suggesting cause you can always circumvent any MAJOR outage as long as it isn't too close to the customer
Decentralization is how you make things more robust. You ensure that failures are not catastrophic and global by segmenting and partially segregating entire systems, where the connections are severable and have failsafes in place to automatically cut off the connection if certain conditions are met (IE - massive power surge going through a transfer center).
the tie from oklahoma might go down, but alabma and TN can tap their reserves to compensate
well, agreed; but until we have efficent energy storage, that is a bit of a pipe dream
You can do that under a private model.
Just require that a power company create transfer centers linking to all of their competitors, and dictate that they have to sell power to rival companies at or below the same rate they sell to their own customers.
'dictate that they have to sell power...' this doesn't sound to private
Only if it's in stock, and at the same rate you charge individual customers.
If you charge residential homes a certain rate per KW/h, then you have to charge rival companies the same rate.
but that is a subsidy
no different than gov
They won't turn a profit buying from you and selling to their own customers, but it'll keep their grid from collapsing and causing a major blackout.
Not really. Just a mandate of service, which would in effect prevent blackouts and brownouts without government ownership or a monopoly, or any kind of national grid.
and under said system, any company can discretely lower capacity and earm more for their power
Only by charging their customers more. Power is sold as power is requested.
it would more likely encourage blackouts
Holy shit you still on about this
