That's retarded. Safety device on a circuit that stops it if continuous load will cause fire, but a continuous load that high will cause fire? What's continuous load in this definition? 5 seconds? 5 minutes? 5 days?
Um, no, actually this doesn't hurt venture capital that much. The stock market will pull away from it, but that's not money going to the business; it's just trading paper and pink slips.
It doesn't matter. You have the resounding shout into the ears of the masses, followed by the trickling in of facts. The big emotional movement comes from the resounding shout; unless you're torn down in a huge uproar from an angered populous, the facts will be ignored and shrugged at.
27c? I pay extra--9c-12c per kWh depending on time of year--for 100% wind-hydro-solar-geothermal power rather than coal. It costs 5-10 bucks more a month on a $300 electric bill. One month I sucked down 2400kWh and paid $515 instead of $495. I've been insulating my house since then; major drafts, bought Foam It Green to stop that and some rock wool insulation.
I'm going to wind up buying candelabra to general adapters for LEDs to get around the "all candelabra LEDs suck" problem. Need those 3500K and 5000K LEDs.
Low color temperature is horrible. I always want 3500-5000k, and can't stand the barely-visible lighting of 3000k and 2700k bulbs. The whole fucking room is yellow! Grey wall, white desk, honey oak chair, red coffee mug? Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow-muck-brown. There's no contrast and no depth perception; it's incredibly hard to see.
Bright white in bedrooms and daylight elsewhere here.
What if it's discovered, later, that the banned pesticide is actually benign, but nobody wants to re-tool onto it because there's no money in it? It'd be expensive to retool, the product would cost more than toxic waste used as an alternative, no one would buy it, so no one starts making it.
SPECIALIST businesses will likely die, or retool away.
DIVERSIFIED businesses will likely survive, and retool away from the banned product.
After retooling and specialist collapse, nobody will be making the banned product. The market will not provide a great opportunity for moving back onto the banned product--even if it's discovered to have the most benign environmental impact. That means the product is, effectively, likely to be lost forever.
Devastates an industry: the manufacture of chemical X.
I keep telling people that the ability to commit crime and get away with it is important. People need risk: They need the ability to perform an action and face a consequence. Usually. Sometimes. Maybe even rarely. The less we care, the lest risk. Oh you shoplifted a 35 cent stick of gum? Nobody saw? Nobody cares. We'd like to stop that but uh. You murdered some shopkeeper while robbing a convenience store? There are 16 federal investigators looking for you, your picture is everywhere, and the police are coming with heat.
Sometimes the law says not to do things that don't hurt anyone, or that inconvenience people in a minor way. In such cases, usually you have to get caught by coincidence or by chance: illegal gambling doesn't get reported except when banks start noticing you and your friends (who are like oil tycoons betting in units of $10k) are coming up with large cash deposits you don't normally have, while shoplifting a can of soup won't get noticed by a $4 billion security system because nobody is spending more than $50 on a security system for a super market unless they're being robbed blind. Okay, the shopkeeper will notice you and call the cops, maybe.
In those cases, society enforces the law about as hard as it wants to. If it's economically not worth it or if we're philosophically opposed to the law, well... lots of people get away with breaking it. Sometimes you do something stupid and get away with it. Sometimes you don't know it's illegal. For whatever reason, society is less effective at enforcing laws than it would be if everyone had a camera up their ass 24/7; and it turns out this is important for the good of society.
No, there are many agricultural pesticides. Problem is one company does not manufacture 50 types of pesticides; some are specialized, and the ones with capacity for 6 chemicals will be better served by re-tooling if they can't sell one of them. Then there's an expense to re-tool back after a moratorium, which they'd rather avoid. Start-up costs are big, and risk is high. Some companies drop the product and never come back, others completely fold, others drop capacity and employees.
I'm still trying to get a second sysadmin here because I have too much critical knowledge I can't adequately pass on. My job security is ridiculous, but the business is in a precarious position: if they lose me, major production revenue streams are in jeopardy immediately. I send out e-mails to managers and coworkers with reference instructions to keep things running and make them run again if they fail, so hopefully they can hold things up and redo it from scratch (they don't have the skill or expertise to do so, but they could hire someone who can apply their own knowledge to this stuff while correcting/improving/reimplementing) if I vanish.
I need another person here who can do my job if I'm not around.
The purpose is for self-generators to not get scammed. Residential customers were producing power at some point whereby they'd draw 150kWh and put back 200kWh, but they'd be charged 150kWh@10c retail and paid 200kWh@6c wholesale. Paid 1200, charged 1500, they now owe the power company 300 for supplying 50kWh.
To fix this, the power companies are now required to credit you at retail price for the power placed on the system. It costs you 10 cents to draw a kWh? Well you get 10 cents to supply a kWh.
Bayer doesn't care much about pesticides. Monsanto would prefer you buy their bullshit-ready genetically modified seeds, which oddly enough could be a good future movement: plants modified to be more resistant to pests, rather than simply poisonous or coated in poison. Faster growth, harder stems, and softer leaves would attract pests to the leaves rather than the fruit.

Circuit breakers on 14 AWG are supposed to throw at 15A. 12AWG for 20A, 10AWG for 30A. Drawing 15A continuously over 14AWG is fine.
it's compressed.
We don't say "Congressperson" anymore because that implies these are people, and not soulless monsters. The correct term is "Congresswench".

Switch to solar. Oil is expensive in AU. I can't imagine a lack of sun... 18c/kWh without subsidies is better than 26c.
I don't purchase them because they're $14.99. I rent in HD for $2.99. If i want it, I'll buy the BluRay Lay-Zar Disc.
"60W Equiv" try doing that in Daylight at 800 lumens. If it's 630 lumens, it's a 40W bulb labeled as 60W.

Fuck that. Candelabra LEDs are all 2700k and 3000k devices. I can't find Bright White and Daylight LEDs to put in a ceiling fan. This is horrible.

My thermostat is at 72 and I walk around shivering. The house is usually settled at 71.5-72.5. I prefer 74.
The top-end Tesla is like $86k and it's ridiculous. The likely best is $68k.

No honey, commercial electricity costs more than residential, not less. Residential is the $0.085-$0.135 tier, commercial is 25 cents up to 38 cents.
$4,800/year.
Because we're now saying MEN need to start taking folic acid.
