since the advantages of car transport are so large -- people will pay a lot extra to drive. In a 1000 or 2000 year old city in Europe: there are no such advantages. Every public transport is cheaper and faster than a car. And you can not drive your kids to school while you drive to work same time. How would that be even imaginary possible? Oh, you never have been in Europe?
The only way faster than public transport is a motorbike and breaking traffic laws. Similar fast is a bicycle... but now we have winter in Europe... -20C.
Public transport only sucks in gods own land (I wonder ho god made it from Palestina to there without public transport). And because it sucks they never will have one, or have a decent one.
They are connected the main grid in Scotland. But they produce to much excess power for that connection.
It will be economical when they start to change the ferries to electric ferries based on fuel cells. Many ferries are hybrid already, and ferries in Norway are switching to electric already.
Most place will actually need 3-4 as much nameplate wind capacity to replace nuclear, No. What would be the point of having 4 windmills standing still? Hu?
You can not use capacity factors from a book to plan a wind installation or a grid. You have to measure what kind of wind you have at a certain place. And to that place your CF is bound, depending on the specs of your windmill. A windmill optimized for 8m/s wind, will produce 8 times the power when the average wind is not 8m/s but 16m/s... so: you have a CF of 800%...
So bottom line you have to know the specs of the windmills you consider very well, and you need to know the distribution of wind speeds over the course of a typical year. What your personal CF is, you know after you have run your mills a few years. Starting with a CF from a book to plan ahead is just plain stupid. But as you might guess: people building wind mills don't do that anyway:D
That are not GPS transponders, that are GPS trackers that "voluntarily" transmit their position based on GPS data they receive.
Wow, that was so difficult again.
a transponder responds to a ping with data Exactly.... and those devices don't do that. And why would anyone want/need such a thing? If it can tell you its position, you are already in range to see it.
Actually I do know that. And, asshole: that is not written in biology books. You learn that either in university or by self studying. And again asshole: that was not the topic of the discussion, the topic was how identically twins actually are and not how their more or less identically genes are expressed (or how should the testing facility know from a simple sample how the genes are expressed?) Try harder next time.
Very bad example, as Freud "If your father hadn't hit you that one time, then you wouldn't have shot your wife 20 years later." never made such bold and stupid statements.
That psychology on the level of Freud and Jung was/is not valid science is obvious. So what do you want to say with that?
I guess it helps that we write % on the bottles and the murricans some strange "proof" number (actually it is just 2x the percentage, but how retarded can a nation be?)
The paradoxon is not about making probes, it is about self replicating robots, seeding the galaxy with life coming from the origin.
Obviously they can only spread life to planets that can harbour life. And that implies it already has life. And that implies they exterminate what already is there, or at least change it drastically. Life hit by such an "extraterrestial" life form, would call them invaders and consider them a pest.

Kindergarden is age of 3.
In many countries at age of 5, kids go to school.
The topic is about Paris.
Owning a car in Paris is braindead, same as in London or any other majour european city.

Self fulfilling prophecy.
Because of: facts!
Yes. ...
Or why else would they be my facebook friends.
Oh, you have "facebook friends" which you don't know in RL? Shame on you
Yeah Padawan, go on and wonder more ... ...
And if you figure the secret: don't tell anyone

Scotland is not atypical.
And you don't grasp what a capacitor factor is.

Isn't Washington known for hot air?
Ah, that is how you call farts now?
You are just an idiot.
There are no people "who believe in science", in the sense of having faith.

I simply wanted you to spare the "wind magic" and "control wind" or "germany controls wind" bullshit.
Seems it worked.
Yeah, sorry, too!

Exactly
You live in a land with free speech.
Deal with it.
Get a gun to protect your self. Hand out guns to your family.
Oh, I got side tracked reading a hate thread on FB ... what did I want to say ...
How do you think we would account for them?
Well, we could dive for them, or not?
as rocks are pushed into the inner solar system removing them from the belt.
And why would that be the case?
Actually I do know that.
And, asshole: that is not written in biology books. You learn that either in university or by self studying.

Twins aren't "identical".
If you ever had seen two, you knew that.
One is born bigger, one got a bit more of hormone X while in the womb, etc. p.p.
Every human on the planet is far over 99% genetically identical to every other human ... perhaps you missed that fact in school.

and his alien probe theory is not testable,
It is. Perhaps you should finally read the original article about it?
The most simplest test is: fly a probe to it, and look.
True, did not think about Hawaii etc. Nevertheless they are dwarfed by the industrial output.
You can buy actual hardware called a GPS transponder. They exist, they are real. /. told you: no!
Really? 20 people on
Why don't you put this into google: "where to buy a GPS transponder"
Not even a single hit on the first page ...
