Except it's been tried. The self sustaining government owned ones always end up full of powerful peoples nephews and incapable of doing ANYTHING efficiently.
Eventually they are sold off for more than they are worth and the industry returns to sanity.
For example: See the Greek economy.
Profit margins are less than inherent government wastefulness.
But hardness is only one material property and not all that important a one at that. Unless the material is the 'hardest' in play, it will be abraded. Sand is harder than typical glass.
Toughness is more important. Road surfaces flex measurably under heavy vehicles.
No kidding. I've seen them hire a person to sit there with a hammer and a pile of stone and reconstruct the cobblestone roadways, just like they were centuries ago.
That's 'make work' and isn't a cost of maintaining a road, it's a cost of paying off a bum.
I guarantee you Germans know how much it costs to fix their roads. Do you know any Germans?
No. It's an argument against _large_ scale pilot projects of unproven technologies. But that's the technical argument. This could be tested with a 1 meter long test strip across a single road.
It's also an argument against government sponsored hopeless projects being given out as patronage. That's the social argument.
Turbines are 'internal combustion' even though you can see light through them.
AC is drinking the coolaid. Likely expects battery powered airplanes real soon now. Heard the words 'noise floor' somewhere but doesn't know what it means.
Doesn't matter. The plane needs to run at least an APU for air conditioning anyhow.
You could conceivably put all the support equipment into a tug and have the tug disconnect just before takeoff. But I bet they want the engines at operating temperature before they open them up.

Depends on how hard they are to pull up.
No. Peak wholesale at peak and baseload wholesale other times. Duh. Solar should be paid the same as other sources.
You do understand!
It will be a success if the results finally kill this stupid idea once and for all.
It won't. Just look up the thread to see the power of wishful thinking.
It will be a success at transferring money from the French government to their cronies.

Yes it's harder.

So, No? We're supposed to take your word for it?

But you pay your own bills.
The governor or Illinois famously had the governor's Mansion's driveway and sidewalks heated.
Isn't government spending wonderful. Such prudence.

Way to go 'all in' on stupid.
No, the point was to generate free advertising. They have to run the APU or an engine anyhow.
About 1% as often as people who said things were 'just around the corner' have been proven wrong.
Bunch of cheating sprouts.
Which is why this election is more dangerous than most.
Hillary ether wins or goes to prison. She'd already be under arrest if their were honest people running the justice department.
What? If he has kids (and is presumably straight) he wouldn't drive a Miata anyhow.
There is a difference between 'sporty' and 'sports' cars.
The fact they left one ball inflated for the kicker is proof that they were cheating.
'Science of deflategate' is just fans being fans and twisting the world to suit their beliefs.
Nobody has a reasonable explanation for the kickers ball being at pressure except 'they're cheaters'.
Turbines are 'internal combustion' even though you can see light through them.
AC is drinking the coolaid. Likely expects battery powered airplanes real soon now. Heard the words 'noise floor' somewhere but doesn't know what it means.
That runs on the APU. I'm pretty sure the fuel cell or batteries needed to power the wheel would kill the economics of the whole thing.
Even for 'wheeltub', I'm willing to bet it's only a net gain on short hops.
Someone just managed to NOT hide an electric motor in a bike.
You will never know about the ones who did hide it.
Doesn't matter. The plane needs to run at least an APU for air conditioning anyhow.
You could conceivably put all the support equipment into a tug and have the tug disconnect just before takeoff. But I bet they want the engines at operating temperature before they open them up.
Exactly. 'New shiny' people are chumps.
You sound very sure of yourself. You should shut the fuck up until you know anything about what you are talking about.
Considering that Mussolini was a leftest, that isn't saying much.
