It's been widely bruited about that a tramp freighter could fire an EMP-modified 15 kiloton nuke up to the 25 mile height needed to blow out the entire state electrically.
This was just a test to see whether they could blow up, or even detect such a missile.
And plenty of competition ain't the only wonderful thing the market would have.
Melamine, sulfur, cracked blocks, lead jewelry for children.
Oh, you were talking about that other Pure Regulation that protects the consumer?
Oh, you weren't. Is there someplace I can apply to be a corporation shill?
How's the pay?
Oh, you're doing it for free? Those corporations, they're so clever.
Carry on.
You had a DIODE!? Shit, I only had a galena crystal and a catwhisker. Lucky me, I had a cypress tree house about fifty feet off the ground, and ran a wire down to the swamp below. We were less than a mile from a big AM transmitter in Jax, FL, and you could listen to the earphones like speakers!
But my science fair project lasted one operation. It was a Van der Graaf tower generator running a huge rubber band off a phonograph motor, on a plastic tube about three feet long with an aluminum pot on top. Went off like a rifle shot when it arced over, freaked out the science teachers.

The food supply is not from small farms, and your view is based on non-math of inequalities never metricized.
So much supposedly scientific discussion is really just self-serving jabber about more of this is less of that, with no equations or any sort of metric.
So it's just BS.
I administer a 13-node Meraki network. Transfer from one node to another is seamless. Look it up. Read the stories. Perfect for this. I'm getting consistent 800' range. Meraki.com
They're charging buses in Oakland with overhead carbon sticks, using ultracapacitors. Bus pulls into the bus stop, zap. Ready to go in the time it takes to load passengers. Only need enough to get to the next stop where there's more electricity? Basically, you're just eliminating the ugliness and maintenance costs of wires, and the bus CAN detour around idiots.
It doesn't overload the grid because it's spread out over time. Here's
how: There's a big ultracapacitor, non-mobile, at each bus stop charging station, which is charging all the time. It averages out to the amount necessary to run the buses. The two capacitors, mobile and stationary, equalize very quickly. Passes mucho amperes, but over a very short distance.
Duh.
"Sovereign nation" is as dumb a concept as intelligent design.
Sovereignty is when you get to beat up your wife and kids

There have been a dozen or so variances from best practices found already.
What a surprise. Are you working for BP, whose record over the last ten years is HORRRIBLE.
A few corrections that lead me to think you're blowing smoke faster than that well is blowing gas.
The pressure of the gas/oil from the well itself is about fifteen thousand psi. You're off by a full order of magnitude. The pressure of the water 4946' down at the blowout preventer valve is about 2500 psi.
The blowout prevent was not only modified but was installed with a test ram instead of the working one that is supposed to shut off the oil by literally shearing off the pipe. This was observed by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), which could have closed the shear ram except the design had been changed, but not test, but apparently approved, but without BP approval, but some contractor and the MMS, the US government Minerals Management Service.
There was also known damage to a rubber seal called an annular seal. There was a loose hydraulic fitting on the hydraulic circuit that was supposed to drive one of the rams. There was at least one of two batteries dead in the BOP control system. The Brazilian system wouldn't have helped, because it was only another way to tell the BOP to work, and the BOP was broken/mis-maintained.
There was warning that the well had dangerously high pressures (kicks) from natural gas. These should have been controlled by the final cementing process, which was done using a questionable kind of nitrogen-filled cement that was marginal at these depths. However, many wells have been drilled deeper under water and deeper into the earth in deeper water.
The critical oversight seems to have been that the cementing process was not checked with a special test, which the serious drill rig operators are very surprised, even vehement about its absence. Speculation is that this missing test of the final cementing will be the smoking gun that sinks BP, and moves this from the civil to the criminal courts.

I was suffering badly from BPPV when this was invented, and it flat cured me.
If you haven't thrown up violently for two or three hours, every time you moved your head, you've really missed something.
It's from calcium particles banging around in your delicate little sensing tips in the semicircular canals. The Epley procedure allows them to trickle into a place where they get stuck and don't annoy the balance whiskers.
I might just buy an iPhone for this. I've had the YouTube for this at the top of my bookmarks for a looong time.
My Eye TV runs a digital antenna (important to have current antenna) looking at the Mt. Sutro Giant Trident looming over San Francisco from West Richmond.
Fifty-two channels, some very weird, many foreign language, but including all the Networks.

Why is it unreasonable to resent unfairness? We're built to perceive and CORRECT unfairness. Read up, paleocon!

Uh, you never ran an acetylene torch, ever, did you?
Naturally, since people are so capable of rational behavior when led by profiteers. Democracy doesn't work.
Inelastic demand.

It's basically insane to REQUIRE crashworthiness for such an obviously special vehicle. I drive a Honda Helix, freeway legal. No crash tests.

You just invented Robert's Rules of Order. Congrats. Now try reading the introduction to the original edition.
Has communism never been tried save in a hostile environment of rapacious competitive capitalism? Your confirmation bias is a work of art.

The gas to oil ratio in that well is 3000 to one. Not a typo.
Go the theoildrum.com for the complete explanation by "shelburn" and until then stfu.
