Liberals always use that word: externality.
It's as if life is so complex they have no evidence for any of their conclusions but we are to believe through faith that they are right.
Quora has a great article about the complexities introduced by producing power during peak times and having to power on coal factories to produce during the night-time. This had to do with solar, but it also affects wind due to the changes in the wind.
The amount of battery power needed to keep the power infrastructure functioning without coal power is unbelievable. It's been estimated if the US were to power everything with wind it would cost somewhere around 100 TRILLION dollars.
This is serious Dr. Evil bullshit. Thanks to the Dems we continue to pour our tax dollars down the drain of liberalism.
While the thought of wind power is wonderful.
But reality shows it's not cost effective nor reliable.
You're portraying one side of the problem. The issue is, there is not enough room within the current parameters given to the market.
The elephant in the room is the entity holding it. That would be the FCC.
And this idea that large corporations would dominate the wave spectrum if given the chance ignores the loss in the market by doing so.
If they were to purchase (the extremely expensive) band and not make use of it, they would be losing their money.
Why would a sane company buy a wave spectrum and then not use it?
Another question would be, why would they buy it and use ALL of them, when they could rent out or sell the ones that are going unused.
This is the type of illogical approach most people take when they're unaware of the costs associated with actually purchasing the spectrum, and they just assume that once it's purchased it's done. WRONG. If they're not using it, and just sitting on it, that is economic suicide. Every other company that would be interested in that spec would want to purchase it from them, and this supposedly evil corp would say NO, I want to spend BILLIONS of dollars for this spectrum, and DO NOTHING with it.
Now here is when you say, "They won't do nothing with it," to which I would say, the gov is.
To which you would say, "Well all of these companies would come in and just hoard all of the spectrum." To which I would say, the gov is!
If any person or entity is doing the hoarding, it is the FCC. Your fantasyland of non-government sanctioned monopolies/oligarchies ignores the world realities that occur on a daily basis where corporations trying to improve the lives of millions by selling them a product they are willing to pay millions for are unable to continue to advance or lower prices because of the increased costs of doing business because of the artificial scarcicity imposed on us by the FCC and other Federal agencies.
It's not that simple you say, yet you claim that giant telcos will come and steal all of the spectrum and leave nothing for the little guy.
Yet you ignore the ridiculous costs of buying spectrum BECAUSE of its scarcity (BECAUSE the government hoards it).
Who controls the wave spectrum? Oh that's right, the government. Not enough spectrum? Maybe the FCC could release the stranglehold on what is available.
Will lower prices for everyone. Consumers will benefit. Trade will increase. More jobs will be created.
Free trade is beneficial. Protectionism has been proven wrong, time and time again.
True. "Real value" exists only in the minds of politicians advancing their agenda. "Value" is determined by BOTH parties: consumer and producer.
Those who disagree with this notion forget: the producer will get NOTHING unless they lower their price to an acceptable amount. They always complain about producers like they CONTROL the market, when in reality consumers control everything (that isn't controlled by the government and their protected oligarchies).
Idiot. "Gutting jobs?"
Somebody needs to take an economics course. It appears the common complaint nowadays is a rush to exclaim the jobs will be lost to any kind of innovation.
If jobs are the priority, why don't we have the government institute a national shovel workforce and raise taxes to 50%?
We can have the government hand out money to people that shovel holes, and have a 100% employment rate.
Would that raise the standard of living for the common person?
These ridiculous outcries of jobs being lost are from people that do not understand economics, and have a zero-sum view of the world.
These liberals and their voter fraud. On the one hand they scream bloody murder if an ID is required to vote, or we dare to propose a law for it. They also support illegal immigration (most from Mexico), and all of them vote Democrat.
Then when they bring up voter fraud, they focus on some mysterious Republican anomaly. I am curious: if it was a Democrat anomaly, would their research even happen?

Plunder. Colonialism. Free trade does no such thing. I suggest you read Economic Facts & Fallacies. http://www.amazon.com/Economic...
Just one factor that proves you're short sighted and incorrect: http://animals.mom.me/snakes-r... Rice fields have poisonous snakes.
Asking Congress to cut anything is like asking a fat man to cut calories.

How many employees does it take to NOT post a test update to a live update server? Apparently thousands...
In movies are total dorks, so of course the public doesn't care about IT stuff. 100 million SSN's later they still don't care.
Being Parents, is a great way to get them to .... oh why do I bother?
You can't blame Apple. It hadn't been released to the public yet..
Matters. SF is a hell hole of all kinds of different people...many of which don't give a flying F about you or your crosswalk.
So true. Even the commercials for the solar panels, they brag about how cheap they have become in such a "short amount of time."
Do you really think driving a truck is going to kill the planet?
Do they need to work with other people in order to develop code? I think not.

True dat. Any governmental power will be exercised and never shut down.
