Which is just the same old "It's just an engineering problem!" trope that we've been hearing from fusion researchers for decades. As we know, those engineering problems tend to be far more difficult than physicists ever give them credit for.
THIS. And its not isolated to fusion reactors.
Unfortunately the costs of resolving those problems tend to be either left out or underestimated as well.
The US also rolled out internet services earlier than many other countries, so it has a older infrastructure to 'rebuild'. It not the central issue, but a factor. If we were to start from scratch today, it would be a lot better.
More unsubstantiated bullshit. IT WAS YOU that tried to rationalize the real world variability of Germany's wind output with fabricated contentions. I am no longer reading any post from you in this thread that does not contain a link to a credible source that describes windmill operation in the manner you suggest. If I don't see that link, post ignored. You wasted enough of my time.
That scale is also the reason a person in the US got infected.
A clarification; No person in the US has gotten infected, as far as I know. The only US cases are those infected outside the US and then traveling to the US. There was a nurse in Spain that got infected from a patient, otherwise I don't think there are any known infections that happened outside of Africa.
What we need is some sort of conversion method from miles-per-gallon to gallons-per-mile to help us out. I tried inversion, but the plural s unit doesn't work out in the units.
The numbers are not overstated based on the test criteria. It is the test criteria that does not cover the real world operating conditions. Change the test requirements, and you'll change the results and therefore the rating.
I am not sure what your point is. I am simply asking for a study that reflects the real world situation, and not asserting anything. I am not sure that your anecdotal observations of people using tech on the sidewalk apply to users of hands free technology in cars, and I think if you want to do a good study, you should consider that the experienced users of hands free technology may be less distracted than the inexperienced users. The results will be what they will be.
Its a crap shoot. I just drove a rental this weekend with a touch screen interface. I had my music on USB and I found it quite a bit easier than normal to navigate my music. However, adjusting the freakin air temperature was an adventure.
I once had a rental in Germany and accidentally hit a button. The car kept asking me a question in German and I had no clue what to say or do. Eventually, I hit the right button to stop the inquisition.
I've not gone back to the actual test report, and its not stated in the article, but I wonder if the test subjects were already familiar with the technologies before being tested. If you get in an unfamiliar vehicle, even finding the windshield wiper can be a big distraction. If these subjects are first time or inexperienced users, you can bet they are distracted. Do a test with folks that regularly use the technology and have developed as ease with the interfaces, and then see what the differences are.
Spoken by one who contends that German windmills are used for peaking. One of the stupidest things I've ever heard, and a clear act of desperation to explain real world results that don't match your theoretical wind scenarios.

99 percent of hoaxters would agree with this approach.
It was just a scare because he was feeling a bit ill, he did not contract Ebola and has been cleared.
If you have to ask, then I probably can't explain it.
Then they have pretty piss poor money management if true.
You suggest a 100K earner take a loan out on a 70K+ car, and can say that with a straight face?
Maybe it includes the top 1% of the financially irresponsible demographic.
Another cool car for the 1%ers. Sounds like a lot of fun to drive.
Of course, just because it is challenged, doesn't mean it is science.
Maybe I spoke to soon.......

Then maybe I needed that sign!

Exactly. We could use more humor signs though.
What we need is some sort of conversion method from miles-per-gallon to gallons-per-mile to help us out. I tried inversion, but the plural s unit doesn't work out in the units.
If we all just rolled through stop signs instead of stopping at them, we'd collectively save a lot of gas. That's my excuse anyhow.

Still no source for your fabricated contentions regarding windmill usage in Germany, I see.

Don't prostitutes & dealers count as pedestrians? They are walking the streets.
