Don't double the cost of such a project by charging absurd access fees.
this is the SAME when it comes to high profit incentives to DEVELOP drugs but also incentives to manufacture efficently; if you own the patent, you don't share it with all the manufacters
so the price stays high
I know you can't hear it, but on wallpaper engine I found a wallpaper that's just Carl screaming FABIAN on infinite loop. 10/10 https://gyazo.com/8ef36302a13ff218b7880eb5604cc446
u CANNOT allow other lines
You're acting like a single house couldn't have a choice of four or five different electrical lines to hook up to, where each line corresponds to a different power company.
you have no CLUE how expensive and complicated it would make power disitribution
Yeah, it's expensive. That's already a barrier.
Then we double the cost yet again through local fees and regs.
Which means monopolies are all but guaranteed.
technicallly not feasible because the interconnectivity of the grid is what makes it WORK
no interconnectivy? no load sharing.
I'm not pretending that if you allow new power companies, that everything will be peachy and everyone's gonna have five different electric companies to choose from. A large number of people are still going to be stuck with the original power company, and that's why the monopoly regs have to be kept.
if we could store power, that would be different but then who would need a grid?
power is 'on demand'
it doesn't just sit on the grid until u use it
Yeah, it is on demand.
You adjust the power output accordingly.

who adjusts output?

what timeline is this
according to who's demand?
my customers?
or your customers?
@Napoleon Lee Scott watch your profanity
The power company should be monitoring their own lines, looking at how much electricity their customers are consuming, and then turning up or down the production at their power plants in accordance with the demands of their own electric grid.
that isn't the way a grid works
If they're not producing enough power for their grid, then they need to buy it from a rival company.
@wacka this is some babylon bee shit
no one company can provide enough constantly to meet their demand
if they wanted to do so, they would throw a TON of power AWAY
Not for the whole nation, no, but for a neighborhood or a small town absolutely.
remember when the KKK used to go round saying sht like "I dont care if your black or not"
"if they wanted to do so, they would throw a TON of power AWAY"
You don't have to run your power plant at 100% all the fucking time.
because the moment everyone decided to turn on the ac units, their grid would go offline due to lack of capacity
u DO!
