I don't feel safe driving on the road with all the humans speeding, talking on the phone, eating a hamburger, not to mention the percentage that drink or use drugs. Our massive road death toll should be evidence of this.
It’s the same here for the general consumer you always pay about 19 cents per kwh for peak power (which should cover any spikes in price over a large enough time). However i think the op i was replying to was talking about taking advantage of the fluctuating wholesale electricity prices (which large consumers or generators do when they trade electricity) which means you could get some great prices.1 cents per kwh but it could also be huge (I’ve seen it over $3000 per mwh) when demand is high. So unless you have an energy storage option or a generator to run when the price sky rockets it won’t work out very well.
Yup we have a number of channels on some of our meters. The ones we are rolling out to some customers now have 3 one for general constant supply, one for off-peak (which is switched off at some points in the day and is where you would have your hot water connected (you can have whatever you want plugged into the off peak tariff but it has to be hardwired over here, and it wont work in peak times (We send an audio frequency down the line to switch the off peak on and off)) and one for solar. It makes more sense than putting in a multiple meters. These aren’t using a zigbee network at the moment, but they could be. With our meters you can simultaneously use power on multiple tariffs with one meter. Just like you can measure 3 phases independently with a 3 phase meter.
If your going to get all that equipment charge the batteries in the middle of the night on off peak power (very cheap) and run the inverter during the day. You will save a fortune and all the electric company will see is 6 hours of constant use from 11 to 5 in the morning.
Get six batteries and an invertor, charge up on off peak, use batteries on peak (have some appliences always pluged in like a fridge), you will save a fourtune. The electrcicty provider is happy cause there is less stress on the network during peak.
Quick send in the fbi swat team they are using an extra kwh than they should. Most of the pot growers we catch over here steal thier electrcity, stupidy though they steal all thier power (zero bill on an occupied property) or don't pay the bill on the electrcity they don't steal; then when we disconect them and can still hear the air con going and its police time.
Not in australia all our meters will save you money, you get options for better tariffs (rate plans, putting some equipment on off peak power, ect) and we can show you where to save power. Not to mention its a lot more accurate, and if your power ussage is jumping up and down it shows less than an electromechanical because there is no momentum of the disc.
Ground effect principle really works best for flat surfaces like over the water, similar to a hovercraft it creates a pocket of air beneath it, but instead of using a skirt, it flies by the forward movement forcing air under the craft and its low position to ground preventing it from escaping out the side.Ground effect only works (an extra 50% lift compared to normal wings at a higher altitude) at half of your wingspan above the ground so in order to clear a small hill of say 5 meters you need a wing span 10 meters long; may as well finish the job and build a plane (however you would be getting good fuel economy if you kept it that close to the ground). So cars aren't a good candidate for a ground effect vehicle but a boat flying over small waves or a train traveling a fairly flat route are good options.
Is this the police condoning the use of drugs. Obviously if this was in any way harmful to the users, surely they couldn't be seen rewarding people for it. Do they give the guy a hamburger one day, then the next day when they see him in the street and he appears the same way arrest and prosecute him.
You could be right mate, i know my negotiation was cooked up in about 5 minutes and i know, i know only 1% of the story. Its possible the point of views contradict each too much for a compromise, but it would be pretty hard to crash a plane into a country that just donated billions of aid whether it was for better sanitation and irrigation or just medical operations we take for granted (we spend our tax money on killing people at the moment, would it be so bad to spend it on educating the men of a country). Don't think of it as paying them but as helping them.
How bout "look Osama those demands are unreasonable and almost impossible to carry out, considering war would cost both our sides a considerable percentage of our wealth how bout America donates 1 billion dollars to bringing more first world education, medical and other resources to the people affected by previous conflicts and who are in need in the middle east".
Maybe Osama would reply "death to all infidel" maybe it would of stopped the trade towers going down, i don't know.
Not your perverted rapist neighbor the one that you look up to as a hero with enough courage to stand up to the invading army threatening your way of life.
yeah yeah its all good when we are killing people in other countrys but i think you would be a little more moral if it was happening to you or your neighbor.
But it should of changed the fact he was killed instead of taken prisoner. How much bloody money do you spend on the military that you can't catch one guy when he wasn't even armed.
That's a very convenient view of your enemy, takes all the hard work out of convincing people to kill them without question. But from my limited grasp on psychology these people are just like you and me if our country was being invaded or raped from afar and we would go to the same levels.
What kind of proof do we have that he did write that letter, if i was the US i would of written something like that ages ago (another reason to kill him before he starts talking). Oh well if world peace is never going to work i just hope we always have the biggest guns (otherwise some one else will be deciding whose law to follow and we might not be on their good side). The government will only listen to who they have too.

build the liability into the price of the car.

and what happens on a very hot summer day when the electrcity price goes up over $3000 per Mwh (it does happen)?

We have smart meters for gas aswell.
Not only that smart meters record power factor which can be used to determine if your using inductive or capacitive appliances.
15 minute and 30 minute intervals in Australia depending what state your in.
Better than that when you are logged in conected to one of these meters you see real time electrcity use (there is about half a second lag).
Quick send in the fbi swat team they are using an extra kwh than they should. Most of the pot growers we catch over here steal thier electrcity, stupidy though they steal all thier power (zero bill on an occupied property) or don't pay the bill on the electrcity they don't steal; then when we disconect them and can still hear the air con going and its police time.

Also with smart metering you can have multiple tarriffs going on the one meter so you could have one for hot water and one for lights and power.
They had to use rockets to force enough air under the wings of the big ekranoplanes just to get them out of the water.
Not going to help the flying cars department. Unless we built new roads everywhere that were flat. I explained in more detail above.
