UK-Norway or UK-Portugal is about 2-3000 Km, which is still in range for a long range high-power transmission-line. ( as i understand it, 7000 Km is about Max economically feasible. - that's about the distance Washington-SanFransisco AND BACK)
Not to mention the latest study of the German gov. which says that Living close to a nuclear power plant gives you a much higher chance(or at least your children) of cancer. see: http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2994904,00.html
Well, and I have a problem with the fact that people assume that wind can't provide base load. If your target area is big enough, there will always be wind. If there's no wind in the UK, there will certainly be wind in Norway or Portugal. There are always High-pressure and Low-pressure areas, with wind spiralling from the former to the latter.
the problem is... the client doesn't always know what he wants, and the continuous changing of the specs (and hence of the code) make it a mess. It gets worse when near release some 'minor' changes have to be included and a lot of code has to be written in a very short time. There's a big difference between the theory of the 'waterfall-model'(and it's derivatives) and reality.
That would be true of the plants formed by those seeds. But what about the seeds you BUY from Mon$anto($orry, couldn't resist...) ? are they all genetically the same up to the last base-pair ?
That isn't such a problem as you describe it... it would mean that particular artist has had the motivation and persistance to BECOME that good, and NOT : that artist was lucky to have "good genes". I think the former is more apploudable than the latter.
Democracy will either develop over time from the inside out or it will not develop at all. Mod parent up. It's the most insightfull thing I read this year.
because competing businesses 'merge' and 'acquire competitors' until there's only a monopoly/duopoly/oligarchy left... that's why it's so important to let a government regulate the market. (and because the US is left with a 2-party system where both sides are controlled by the same businesses... I'll let you fill in the rest)
True, But : MY POINT WAS : There has never been a real free market, (It is impossible to create one) - and even if it would exist, it would destroy economic choice.
any reasonable observer would conclude that the economies of some modern nations that call themselves market capialists you may be right, but without intervention : EVERY single one of these nations would build monopolies which Destroys economic choice, so... he was right wasn't he ? point me to 1 ONE country based on a true free-market.
uhuh... nuclear power never got that subsidy... RIGHT ! Let's put something straight : total subsidies for solar are not even close to those of nuclear.
Just as how true capitalism should work. That would be the first instance i have EVER seen. a true free-market needs Perfect and complete information to all actors - this is impossible in practice.

No, they thought "scape-goat for an attack"
Oh RIGHT! Nuclear power plants are 100% safe, because Humans can NEVER EVER make an error. /sarcasm.

We removed enough trees to make up for our puny amount of windmills.(I would even guess that the forest-clearing done in 1 day would make up for it)

not any more than a Km of highway.

abducting a significant portion of the population doesn't seem very democratic to me ...

1/was i bragging ? ...
2/I know regulation is mandatory - that was why I always appended 'true' or 'real' to the term 'free-market'

problem with your thinking : solar power and wind power cost have been going DOWN (FAST!), not UP.

WHERE the F@CK is the region 2 release ? I want to BUY it NOW! If they wait too long : I'll download it.
