If the wireless cards don't have ample protection against copying of information and forging then the platform design is flawed.
A correctly designed public key infrastructure solution would be a lot harder to crack. Cards shall only reveal sensitive information to authorized readers, readers verify that the cards aren't forged.
Obviously you haven't had to work with French people... Once they have gotten their nose into something they stick there until they are pried from it by some superior.
Even more important - the panels are more efficient when the sunlight is as direct as possible, when the sun is low they are less efficient.
Also consider that the amount of energy they feed to the grid is energy that don't have to be produced elsewhere at that time and can be used later. It's also possible that if the solar panels pushes down the energy cost during midday then it's possible to reschedule some energy consuming stuff to those hours - like timers on washers and driers.
Reading the brain waves of a person may be better, harder to fake at least.
But a smart card with PKI and pin code authentication for every access needed will go a long way. If it's a facility with extreme security measures also add guards at checkpoints and make sure that some accesses requires counter-signed authentication.
I live in Europe and lumber is the most common building material around here.
Even at a dozen houses per square mile it's still paying off to have the services underground. When you go below one household per square mile then it may be a point in not burying the lines.
Especially since the service lifetime for buried lines is averaging 50 years.
Underground infrastructure requires a lot lower maintenance frequency than aerial infrastructure so the total cost in the long run will be a lot lower.
Just remind them their responsibility to provide telecom service for emergency purposes. It may even be in their contract that they have to ensure a certain level of service that they can't back out from. The price they did put up was just their way of trying to say that they don't want you as a customer but they couldn't cancel your contract.
No - it's not even a question. Bury the lines and you will remove a large number of causes for power outages.
Even more important - realize that each outage costs money for the community. In the long run buried lines will save money - even if you are in an area where the ground is filled with rocks.
Similar in Sweden, where I live there have been maybe 5 outages the last 15 years, none of them long enough to create any problems aside from having to set the clock radio again.
And we have underground wiring. Areas with above ground wiring sees more outages.
This is also what annoys me whenever I have been visiting the US - the air is filled with wires high and low, which definitely destroys the scenery of the otherwise picturesque towns that are common in New England among other places.

"Anonymous" is a floating designation, not the same people all the time - so it's hard to define them.
Yep, I think it was considered "Plausible".
It all comes down to the condition of the escapees, some amount of luck and then ability to keep a low profile.
I think that the last factor would have been the hardest - keep a low profile after a successful escape.
So you can shoot everyone you find disagreeable.
Of course - it will really make Darwinism the de facto leading religion in the US that way.
Or at least use a properly designed PKI solution?

The only thing left is the human factor.
Someone has opened Pandora's Box at Sony, now they try to get all the crap back into that box.
Good luck with that.
There used to be an adapter to play cassettes in the 8-track players.
And I think that the Obi-Wan quote would be suitable.
Take down one site and new ones shows up.
Now the Streisand effect has started so now it won't happen.
Considering the impact on the environment of pods that just ends up in the garbage there's now two reasons not to buy them.
OK, the coffee they make isn't bad, but what's wrong with an ordinary espresso machine?
C is always relevant. Other languages come and go in popularity but if you know C well you can always find a job.
Obviously you haven't had to work with French people... Once they have gotten their nose into something they stick there until they are pried from it by some superior.
And they don't see foreigners as superior.

We have cultural familiar elements that persists, we also have cultural familiar elements that changes.
A century ago it wasn't granted that women could vote - much less colored people.
But the core values within a family - has that changed much?

Old coders don't die - they just migrate to Cobol.
Just change to a proportional election system instead. Let the percentage of votes decide how many seats a party will get.
It will of course invite other parties to the election party as well.

Don't blame the cats at least.
If anything - you can't be upset at cats doing cat stuff. It's a relief.
French idea of relief is a bottle of wine and watching women walking by the café.
Only true pressure would be if companies having their manufacturing in China moves elsewhere.
The Chinese government do whatever they like.
