The most expensive 'generation' available is curtailment of industries that really don't like to shut down mid process.
Price caps have to be higher than the highest cost generation in the pool.
You also need price caps high enough to draw in new capital. Otherwise you just stay underbuilt, running obsolete inefficient generators, like under rate base.
You don't appear to understand how power pools work. Everybody gets the price of the highest bid (bids can be assumed to be marginal cost) unit run for the period.
The women with 'root passwords' (In the Australian/English sense) of 'Rolex' can tell the cheap fakes. Spend about $100-$150 on your fake Rolex and you will do much better.
Nobody has to keep money in dollars to trade in oil. Currency exchange is instant and computerized. Leaving assets in non-local currency is a risky proposition. If nations are leaving money in dollars, they should look to their local currencies problems. Just like the mattresses full of dollars, there is a reason.
There are many players holding enough Dollar/Euro/Renminbi/Pound debt to crash any of the currencies. But doing that would be blowing their own peckers off. We are in a financial MAD situation.
Having 5k$ liquid for emergencies is 'independently wealthy'?
Learn to manage your money kid. If you're stressing on bills every month, you are doing it wrong. By not living on the _cheap_ long enough to build a reserve, you remove your ability to say 'no', fucking you long term prospects of improving your situation.
It is not. Europe and Asia has buried infrastructure thousands of years old in some cases. How would you like to be pushing buried fiber in Rome or Hanoi?
I'm surprised ground penetrating radar isn't in more common use.
No. Not even close. The last 10+ years has seen a massive increase in accounting tricks on both sides, you can't trust anybody's numbers, but England set new standards in BS.
The only hope for the Dollar and Euro is that the collapse of the Pound puts 'the fear' into both political bodies and they stop printing.
The reality will be that capital flight from the Pound will hold up the Euro and Dollar for a few years, then one of them will pop as well. China will also be 'triggered' by the Pound, unless it goes first.
It's not so much oil trading that supports the Dollar. It's overseas cash reserves. When you live in a 'workers paradise' a mattress full of US dollars (as bad as they are) is still one of the safest stores of value available to you.
A U lock is a big old U that goes through the wheel and frame. Even if strong a padlock leaves the chain as an obvious weakness.
Padlocks are jokes. Boltcutters are the appropriate tool for them. (I remember the first criminal kid on my block that got a set of bolt cutters, for about 3 months it was better to not put padlocks on anything, as they attracted Kenny. Then he cut the padlock off a railroad switch and derailed a freight train into the little blue river, then bragged about it...We didn't see him for a while, he was real lucky he didn't kill anyone.)

It must be noted that we now can't kill the rural electrification program.
It still costs the USA $800 million dollars/year and employs 12,000 federal workers who do _absolutely nothing_.
Getting power to anyplace rural is full price. The entire $800 million is sucked up by rent seekers and government tit suckers.
Heated panels in areas with low solar radiance?
It wouldn't take long before you're a net power consumer.
Define 'capacity factor' (moron check)?

'We' are not europeans. Check where Iraqi oil actually goes.
Of course oil is fungible.

Broadband is not basic internet.
A $30/month prepaid phone plan covers basic internet and gets them a phone#.

Mainly it can find old excavations. Disturbed soil where old trenches were.
If someone can't cover a $400 bill and has cable TV or broadband they are a moron.

You sound like you think it's better elsewhere?
It is not. Europe and Asia has buried infrastructure thousands of years old in some cases. How would you like to be pushing buried fiber in Rome or Hanoi?

Then reflash the computer with the good code you kept a copy of, but upped the version number so future updates will leave it alone.
Remember the offending code noticed the smog check, it will continue to pass.

Lets arbitrage the fuck out of them. British versions will just need a few extra 'u's 'i's and 'e's deleted after grey market American import.
Are a whole sequence of historical years, that are being continuously 'revised' cooler significant?
The pound is the most mismanaged currency on the planet.
Britain fixed it's problem with unfunded civil service pensions by taking them 'off budget', accounting tricks.
Getting the Pound completely untangled from the Euro makes it an even better currency canary.
'Molotov cocktail' is the root password for all tanks. Modern ones have fire suppression, so they require two or three Molotovs each.
In a guerilla war, Tank support/recovery vehicles are a much better target than tanks.

No. Just wrong. The jack takes about 20 seconds and makes very little noise.
Have you ever used an angle grinder on hardened steel? Ever used on at all?
When was Wikileaks a source for unbiased data dumps?
Remember 'Collateral Murder'? Clear propaganda, edited to tell a lie.
Wikileaks started with the 'collateral murder' video. Which was clearly propaganda and had been edited to advance a false narrative.
Tanks without infantry support are, more or less, already dead.
The last 10 years history proves you wrong.
