One Worldwide Power Grid
randomned writes "A little ironic that this article on a world wide power grid was published in the September issue of Wired. With the recent outage on in the northeast, think of what could've happened if the entire world was on one grid." As someone who spent 23 and a half hours without power, I'm thinking this is a brilliant plan!
You sir are a moron.
Oops....you'll know what I'm talkin about in a bit.
Blow me.
I would but your penis is too small to actually fit my lips over it.
It's not where it happened you idiot, it's the fact that 50 million people were without power. Ooh, "thousands without power." Wow, call fucking Geraldo for christ's sakes. It's not where, you fucking spic, it's the magnitude. In this case, millions upon millions of people were affected, rather than a couple dozen people and about a thousand other hicks.
If you hippies want to complain and whine so much about your prescious environment, here's an idea. Move to British Columbia, Canada. We run on hydro power, it's cheap, and oh yeah, if you run solar, and have extra power in your system, BC Hydro will connect YOU into their grid and BUY your extra power from you at a competitive rate. You'll thus be a generator, not just a consumer.
I agree with your arguement toa point .

The long haul transmission lines are not needed IMHO
We can work off metro based solutions
The only exceptions I could see to this would be to
tap alternative power sources like Hydro
It is now common knowledge that if all countries in the
world switched to nuclear power, we would run out of
material to power them in just a few decades
The nuclear waste left behind in countries even less
scrupulous than the US is cause for concern as well
I think nuke power needs to be phased out over the
next 20 years
I think tidal, and geo-therm need to be given more interest
The bay of fundy is the largest potential tidal power generator
in the entire world, moving more water every 12 hrs than all
the rivers in the world combined
It is just off the coast of canada near Nova Scotia
We need to not make a reservoir system there, it would destroy
the ecosystem, underwater turbines or a flotation hydraulic
based system would work best and have the least environmental
impact
France's tidal power generation system has had a negative
impact, we can learn from that and make a better one
Theirs uses a dam to hold back water, and then release, and
make power on the flow . Not sure if it makes it bidirectionally
or not
The grid currently wastes 9% - 15% just in Transmission

Thus why I say make it locally
Smith Cogeneration has found a way via natural gas to make
it for less and use the energy to its fullest
http://www.smithcogen.com/aboutcogeneration.htm
The VAST majority of the population lives within 75 miles
of the coast , design this into the equation
Transport energy "natural gas" via high pressure pipelines
from high pressure gas wells to coastal areas
When we can move to alternative power, then make the gradual
switch over as time permits
After all we cannot make the switch over night

The historic responsibility of world Jewry for the outbreak and widening of this war has been proven so clearly that it does not need to be talked about any further. The Jews wanted war, and now they have it. But the Fuhrer's prophecy of 30 January 1939 to the German Reichstag is also being fulfilled: If international finance Jewry should succeed in plunging the world into war once again, the result will be not the Bolshevization of the world and thereby the victory of the Jews, rather the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe.
We are seeing the fulfillment of the prophecy. The Jews are receiving a penalty that is certainly hard, but more than deserved. World Jewry erred in adding up the forces available to it for this war, and now is gradually experiencing the annihilation that it planned for us, and would have carried out without a second thought if it had possessed the ability. It is perishing according its own law: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
Every Jew is our enemy in this historic struggle, regardless of whether he vegetates in a Polish ghetto or carries on his parasitic existence in Berlin or Hamburg or blows the trumpets of war in New York or Washington. All Jews by virtue of their birth and their race are part of an international conspiracy against National Socialist Germany. They want its defeat and annihilation, and do all in their power to bring it about. That they can do nothing inside the Reich is hardly a sign of their loyalty, rather of the appropriate measures we took against them.
One of these measures is the institution of the yellow star that each Jew must wear. We wanted to make them visible as Jews, particularly if they made even the least attempt to harm the German community. It is a remarkably humane measure on our part, a hygienic and prophylactic measure to be sure that the Jew cannot infiltrate our ranks unseen to sow discord.
As the Jews first appeared several weeks ago on the streets of Berlin graced with their Jewish star, the initial reaction of the citizens of the Reich capital was surprise. Only a few knew that there were still so many Jews in Berlin. Everyone suddenly found someone in the neighborhood who seemed like a harmless fellow citizen, who perhaps complained or criticized a bit more than normal, and whom no one had thought to be a Jew. He had concealed himself, mimicked his surroundings, adopting the color of the background, adjusted to the environment, in order to wait for the proper moment. Who among us had any idea that the enemy was beside him, that a silent or clever auditor was attending to conversations on the street, in the subway, or in the lines outside cigarette shops? There are Jews one cannot recognize by external signs. These are the most dangerous. It always happens that when we take some measure against the Jews, English or American newspapers report it the next day. Even today the Jews still have secret connections to our enemies abroad and use these not only in their own cause, but in all military matters of the Reich as well. The enemy is in our midst. What makes more sense than to at least make this plainly visible to our citizens?
In the first days after the introduction of the Jewish star, newspaper sales in Berlin went through the roof. Each Jew on the street bought a newspaper to conceal his mark of Cain. As this was banned, one began to see Jews on the streets of the West side of Berlin in the company of non-Jewish foreigners. These Jewish lackeys actually should wear the Jewish star themselves. The excuse they give for their provocative conduct is always the same: the Jews are after all human beings too. We never denied that, just as we never denied the humanity of murders, child rapists, thieves and pimps, though we never felt the need to parade down the Kurfurstendamm with them! Every Jew is a decent Jew who has found a dumb and ignorant Goy who thinks him decent! As if that were a reason to give Jews a kind of honorable escort. What nonsense.
The Jews gradually are having to depend more and more on the
