    Sounds kind of like certain people letting their on-line behaviors, formed from years of anonymous social media interaction, extend to the real world. Not that similar poor behavior hasn't happened before, just pondering it as a 'potential' contributor.

  9. That's because it is by and large a zero sum game. You can't just assume that if the economy grows or shrinks that it's going to do so uniformly along the spectrum of wealth.

    As I said, its because many just don't understand. Your depiction is a good example, it isn't just about wealth. There are also number of participants, velocity, new or evolving markets, etc. Many factors are involved which creates the need to oversimplify.

    I see what you mean. He just ignores the links you posted that prove your point. That is pretty weird behavior.

    Its a classic example of willful ignorance. I quote and link a reference, and he says its 'my definition'. Every interaction with him goes like this.

    Just as the scientists from the French Academy said, and anticyclone can affect France and a large number of its neighbors with low wind conditions at the same time. Send them a letter if you don't agree. Sources I linked to plus fully credible scientists at and established institution make it pretty obvious you are just spouting nonsense

  12. Only lefties think the economy is a zero-sum game. Because if they understood economics, they wouldn't be lefties.

    This is why no sane person ever listens to lefties.

    To be fair, both sides use zero sum game arguments. Its simpler to talk to those that don't understand in those terms.

  13. It is zero sum. There are winners and losers. Resources are always finite and in some cases shrinking (see real estate). Prove otherwise.

    Yup, the economy has been the same size forever. Nothing new, nothing gone, ever.

  14. Too many see the economy as a zero sum game.

    Here are just a few of many easy to find links that define Tidal and intermittent. Lets see how long Angelo denies reality;

    Just one of many.."Intermittent electricity is electrical energy that is not continuously available due to external factors that cannot be controlled, produced by electricity generating sources that vary in their conditions on a fairly short time scale. Sources of intermittent electricity include solar power,[1] wind power,[2] tidal power, and wave power.[3] Although solar and tidal power are fairly predictable (length of days, weather patterns, tidal cycles), they are still intermittent because the time period that electricity can be created is limited. Because of this varying electrical generation these sources are considered non-dispatchable, meaning that their electrical output cannot be used at any given time to meet societies fluctuating electricity demands.

    Mr Ds post shows you are wrong.

    Facts don't matter to Angelo. Clearly total coal and gas production has risen, even from the Fraunhofer site he references. He even argued with my numbers yesterday, then presented a link as an argument, within that link was proof my numbers were correct, but yet no admission on his part that he was wrong, not even when his own source says it. Everything he says is opinion or re-hash of some headline he's read. He even believes the market price of power has no bearing on retail price, something completely ridiculous but it gives him and excuse to dismiss high prices as being related to renewables.

    Reality doesn't matter. He will insist it is not intermittent simply because he does not wish it to be, and will ignore any facts your present. He is either a troll or just very ignorant. I'm beginning to think both.

    Anticyclones are typified by large areas of very low wind speed conditions over a large area;

    The centre of an anticyclone has a characteristic pattern of air circulation, with subsiding air and horizontal divergence of the air near the surface. The name anticyclone comes from the circulatory flow of air within the system; anticyclonic circulation has a local circulation that is opposed to the Earth's rotation. Winds, generally light, circulate around the high pressure centre in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

    The subsiding air compresses as it descends, causing adiabatic warming. The eventually warmer and drier air suppresses cloud formation and thus anticyclones are usually associated with fine weather in the summer and dry, cold, and sometimes foggy weather in the winter. Calm settled weather is usually synonymous with anticyclones in temperate latitudes. Anticyclones are typically relatively slow moving features.

    You first should look up intermittent. I'm really getting tired of doing all the research for you and time and time again proving you don't know anything.

    An anticyclone is a low pressure area, that rotates anti clockwise. Unlike an cyclone that is a southern hemisphere phenomena that is rotating clockwise. Hence the names.

    If you want to talk about periods of no wind then call it like that.

    And again: Europe, and even small countries like Germany or Denmark are to big to have 'no wind' on a meaning full timescale.

    I used the same term the scientists used. If you want to attack me for the choice just because you made a fool of yourself, well if it makes you feel better go ahead.

  24. Stop making a fool of yourself. Every half educated person knows the laws of supply and demand and how pricing and cost are related. Market pricing is ALWAYS reflected in final retail prices/rates. It is a central factor, otherwise they wouldn't bother pricing power on the market. You are just denying stuff instead of trying to understand what you don't. How pathetic.
