Google suggests SJW is "social justice warrior" which is apparently used as an insult. Why do I have to learn this shit to follow things on a technical site instead of some far side of crazy teabagger site shoving politics in our faces?
Once again I suggest you learn about your subject matter - in this case the size of power grids.
So you need serious investment in transmission
Demand driven, and if you are going to argue that widely distributed point generation sources are going to stress the network I suggest you look at how things have moved on since 1970 - little gas turbines are already all over the place and windmills just look like smaller versions of those to a grid.
and storage
No - I mentioned spinning reserve above did I not? That is an especially good niche for wind.
I'm sorry, but I laugh every time people think it's about fixed output and storing stuff from slack times for busy times - that's done to a limited extent with pump storage (like a plant I was working at in 1994) but it's far too lossy to try to run a power network that way.
You can have more than one windmill:) You could have actually learned something about power generation in all this time you've wasted in this thread. I suggest start with learning about peak load sources, small distributed power sources, spinning reserve, base load and then try looking at the emerging technologies on the nuclear side that show that thinking of it as a solved problem is counterproductive.
We've been over that with Cordemais alone producing more GWh than you pretend was generated by the several coal fired power stations in France put together.
"Wind power has not yet proved that it can supply large quantities of power" Yet somehow it's been driving machinery for centuries. It really offends me that you pretend to be so stupid just for some meaningless squabble between alternative energies.
Stop attacking me and give me a good reason why we should not pursue nuclear power more than wind power
That's never been the issue which is why you are hearing the crickets - the issue has been you pretending that one alternative energy is worthless and that another is a solved problem. Both have niches that are so widely separated that it makes me wonder why the more clueless nuke fanboys see wind as a threat at all.
Less braindead than a HR guy I was dealing with on occasion. He would send the password in the same email as the password protected zip files. He couldn't see the problem even after some attempts at explanation since he appeared to see the encryption step as pointless busywork and he was just following a procedure.
Sadly some years ago Adobe had Dimitry Sklyarov locked up on precisely those grounds.
The 27-year old Russian programmer and hacker who was arrested after Defcon was last spotted at 3 pm Monday, when he made a brief court appearance in Las Vegas. He's charged with violating the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The situation where you do not think such a blatant and deliberate deception (first with the tilting at windmills, next the 100%, next the report you couldn't read and hoped I could not) is a big deal is the problem. This politics trumps reality bullshit is what I very strongly object to especially when lies are used to groom the younger generation into blindly accepting political dogma. Despite who you are doing if for it has a very Soviet stench about it. So very different values - OK to lie but not OK to take a liar to task if they are doing it for the sake of The Party? You turn my stomach.
Names matter but pretending that a country has 100% of it's electrical power needs met by base load nuclear power stations can be excused by "OK, if you want to get all technical"?
It appears that we have very different value systems.
You got me - some systems are completely fucked up. There should be a trail of showing who has access to sensitive information or IMHO the system providing the information is completely broken. However both Snowden and Manning did demonstrate that such a thing was the least of the problems with some rogue agencies. The same sort of idiocy that had part of the CIA running guns to Castro and another part trying to stop people running guns to Castro still applies so many years later.
No the "Godwin" was over government identification numbers in tattoos but it appears to be less obvious than I thought. However going back to the back tattoo - if we wanted to be rich we'd be tattooing teenagers. From what I see at the beach there's a lot of young female hairdressers or just about any job description have that have that "stamp".
Personally I think you lost the moral high ground on name calling when you called me dense for challenging one of your lies. How about we just agree to disagree - you appear to think that despite knowing very little about this topic it's important enough to mislead people on it and I don't. How about that?
random government workers have access to that same information.
Watch a 1970s crime drama/spy story and you'll see one thing they based on reality is people having to sign for sensitive information. The paper trail is automated now.
That falls down with the first and most obvious example - birth certificates. You need some form of proof of identity that people can trust and the government issued birth certificate is trusted more than your word. However if another member of the public is looking for your certificate or a list of twelve year old girls there are good reasons why it shouldn't just be handed over to anyone. The same goes for your tax records, where the government sends your bills and the addresses of all those twelve year old girls who most likely have some government paperwork associated with them. Sorry to bring out the kiddies line, but it makes things very obvious does it not?
Spot on. From the records that have come out more than one Enron employee said "we're doing God's work" when they were fleecing Californian electricity consumers in a variety of scams.
Government charges for registration or construction approval rarely make any sense on any level, apart from as a nasty barrier to legal migration and encouragement of illegal migration.
Shouldn't he be off helping the poor instead of victimizing women that have enough trouble without a vigalantee with a hard-on turning up outside their front door?
Search this thread for how many times you said those words
That only matters in scrabble or whatever. This is clearly a topic you know almost nothing about, otherwise you would never have attempted your 100% bluff, and the issue at hand is your pontificating despite that and deliberate attempts at deception. All that just because I dared to suggest that windmills are not entirely useless - and if you need a citation to back that up you must be wandering around with your eyes shut and your ears blocked up.

Nuclear (or anything) isn't a complete solution either Mr 100% because loads vary. Your argument is ridiculous.
How about this one:
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-28224917
I suggest trying out that danger of a little bit of knowledge and google "helicopter bird strike". There is more there than I expected.

That's even worse! Now you have no excuse for the 2006 report that does not say what you pretend it does.
Just give it up Mr 100%. It's clear the topic does not matter as much to you as influencing young minds does.

So even a code written about by Julius Caeser (ROT) is covered by it.

Wow - this thread is Godwinned already!

Don't bother with the popcorn, it will be someone from a government department showing their face to stop some prick going all Taliban on those women.
