Let's extend that thought... After all, those Chinese sellers wouldn't sell in the first place if the German consumers didn't buy without first demanding proof of legal registration. So clearly they are responsible as well. And what about DHL/FedEx/UPS/DeutschePost? They clearly delivered a product without ensuring the VAT is properly collected and shipped, so they are also responsible. And those roads used to transport said goods? Why, the paving company must pay as well! In fact, let's just demand everyone on Germany pay another €1000 per year as penalty for their offences!
The AC I was responding to was implying that skin effect is only an issue at really high frequencies; rather than have readers assume that's always the case, I thought it best to say what it was, and what it can be. I guess education is not valued around here... No faulty reasoning here - just faulty reading comprehension of a thread by someone else.
Europe already has at least a hundred GW of offshore generation, unlike the USA....
When you look at per-capita total wind generation (not just offshore), you'll see the US is about the same as the EU. Now, most of ours is on-shore, but that's because our West coast (where the wind is best) has essentially zero continental shelf, unlike Europe. So we have very few places, if any, where you can put offshore generation on the West coast. So we put it elsewhere. I do not see how you can penalize the US for having the misfortune of geography that is not conducive to offshore wind farms on the West coast.
Uhh, the source was linked in his post. It is about electricity generation as well - and breaks it all down. Now, if you want to attribute 100% of all foreign war spending to "fossil fuels", go ahead - but that is highly disingenuous at best, given the other reasons for war (profit, currency stabilization, democratization, etc.); if that was the case, explain Syria, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Somalia, Haiti, and most of the places we've intervened. Looking at how much we spend for those sources, it's clear that wind has a shot at becoming viable, but solar is still a long ways away from being economically self-sufficient.
Looking at the data here, and plugging it in and crunching, you end up with this graph. Wind and nuclear are tied at about 12g CO2e / kWh, and solar is around 54 g CO2e / kWh. So nuclear is about equivalent to wind, and ahead of solar. Do you have data saying otherwise?
The skin effect in copper is about 10mm at 60 Hz. With typical high-voltage AC lines being over 100mm in diameter, construction of the conductor is quite important, and designers try to maintain enough mechanical reliability in the cable whilst keeping the 10mm thick skin effect in consideration. We're not talking about your speaker cables or line-level cables, we're talking about power - cables that are much larger, and where the skin effect at 60 Hz is a significant consideration.
So then, because Russia is supposed to have helped elect President Trump, and that saved us from another 4-8 years of Clintons, then we should be happy that Russia did whatever they were supposed to have done, right?
See I have a fan base because people don't like those who actually think for themselves. Easier to heckle and ridicule rather than discuss and use rational thought!
In June, for the first time, wind, nuclear and solar power generated more UK power than gas and coal combined.
But in the article we find:
Renewables overall - including wind, solar, biomass and hydropower - beat fossil fuels for only 23 days of the year.
So fossil fuels were used every day, and managed to have more output for just 23 of 365 days - 6%. At least they are bundling nuclear in with the "green" power sources...
President Clinton interfered with Yeltsin's 1996 re-election, and of course President Obama directly funded the campaign to try to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Yeah, we do interfere in other elections...
I never claimed otherwise. Perhaps you can show how a Chinese national can enter Hong Kong? What's required for them to enter Hong Kong? And how much currency can a Chinese person and a Hong Kong resident import or export annually? Why do they live under two completely different set of laws, immigration status, currencies, etc?
And why is BTC allowed in Hong Kong - but not on China? Which is what started the whole thing. China doesn't allow BTC; Hong Kong does. So you have ~7.5 million people in HK who can play with BTC - and ~1.4 billion in China who cannot.
Fully agree with that! However, in today's society, what happens if you call someone out on their sin? Even if you say "I see you've fallen because of XYZ, let me help you"? You're called a bigot, a hater, a phobe. And you're called not Christian.
No, he did what the 2nd greatest commandment said - he told them to go and sin no more. He called out their actions as sinful, reminded them of it, then told them to stop it. Is that not acceptable?
No, the big challenge facing China is the coming generation (35 to 15) where single child families were the legal rule. You'll have four grandparents, and two parents to support for every worker. Massive population implosion. Given the poor social benefits of China (essentially non-existent), you're going to find a lot of children working themselves to death and still not be able to take care of their grandparents and parents.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see any difference in those two highlighted words... Heckuva good summary there, Beau!

Yeah, but what if ol' Don gets some seahorses? They what are you going to do, Mr. Smartypants?

What about Apple Jeans?
Where is the slice that contains 624 groups? I see CNN cutting up the pie into slices that are different than yours...

Well, in their defense they were using a Netgear router, and those things can be a pain to setup...
So because the results were worthy, it was OK for the US to participate and work to actively influence a foreign election?
They didn't wave Nazi flags, but they did march and are the moral equivalent of Nazis. When you use violence and the threat of violence to shut down political speech and stop non-political annual events - you're no better than a Nazi.
Interestingly, the largest slice of hate groups is on the left. And it's a rapidly growing number at that, having nearly doubled over the last 4 years.
And they interfere with ours as was proven.

Hong Kong was leased to the British in 1898. Land could not be sold - because it wasn't owned by the British in the first place.
