"Those people that want to do 600 mile road trips with any regularity are not going to get an electric vehicle. A person might not be as crazy as that gentleman I met to want a gas car. If an electric vehicle takes 10 hours to get to the intended destination and the gas car does it in 9 hours then people will naturally gravitate towards the gas car." - If you are on a corridor of superchargers, its not an issue. If your bladder can take it, you just stop for a 1 hour lunch at a supercharger station mid journey in an EV. Also check the cost of your journey, how much cash will you have left in your pocket after filling up a gas car a few times and how much pollution have you pumped out of the exhaust as opposed to an EV for the same journey. Fuel cost and pollution output might be more important to the driver.
In February 2017, similar radio hacks happened in the US, when hackers hijacked the frequency of Sunny 107.9 WFBS-FM in Salem, Carolina to broadcast insults addressed to US President Donald Trump.
you need to follow the posts. the claim was that the religions (not just islam) had amassed quite a body count. i followed to say that most of that was done in the name of the religions involved. your link didn't even list the crusades or inquisitions or just random killings of people because they were of a different religion or they were gay or a witch
"Tax breaks for oil industry does not cost the tax payer any money, if it is the difference between putting up a 100 rigs in a state or none at all.... there is no logical reason NOT to give the oil industry a cat break since it costs the state nothing and tons to gain." of course its a loss of revenue to the tax coffers and why should they get a tax break to build rigs? they've been in business for 100+ years, they should have stopped getting any tax breaks decades years ago.
"I doubt article took all costs into consideration." - why don't you read it and find out?
it can also save you having to fire up another power station and wait for the power to come along or it could bridge the gap until power is generated. The UK's grid is also investing in battery backup - https://www.greentechmedia.com...
In case you don't want to read the link, here's an excerpt
"The U.K. requires about 2 gigawatts of frequency response for a system with nationwide peak demand of about 45 gigawatts. National Grid spends between £160 million and £170 million ($212 million to $225 million) per year to manage this need, and has previously relied on slower-reacting assets for frequency response -- either 10-second primary services, or 30-second secondary services, which can react to correct frequency excursions after they’re wandered outside their boundaries.
But assets that can respond in less than a second can step in to “improve management of the system frequency pre-fault,” or before frequencies go out of range, National Grid notes on its EFR web page. That’s important for a grid operator that’s seeing more and more volatility due to its increasing share of intermittent wind and solar power, and could help save National Grid about £200 million ($262 million) over the four years of the contracts it’s awarded."
plus they insulate their houses to the extreme to prevent heat loss and this keeps their usage down. pity all houses are not done this way, during the winter it keeps the heat and during the summer keeps the heat out.
Where do you think this service lies? Do you think its running in PID1? It might be a good idea to find out where systemd_resolved runs in the system. No matter how many time people peddle the lie that "systemd is monolithic", it does not make it true. If you don't want a monolithic software on your system, you'd better remove the kernel and install Hurd.
"who understand everything is a compromise?" - if that was the case then they wouldn't have tried to do such a hatchet job on solar. If you look at their website, you'll see they are nuclear advocates.

eeer... i was being sarcastic....
"That takes years, hence why they want a delay." thats their commercial mistake for not seeing the future like Musk has done.
oh shit... i wonder if anyone has told Musk and his engineers etc........

surely they must be listened to as they know more, can't have the scientists being knowledgeable and doing good things based on facts and research :)
certainly with religious based governments +UK +USA

the middle east is fighting each other over whose religion is the best, not oil. they may start fighting over access to clean water soon though.
you can also qualify that by saying "done in the name of their religion"
competent and forward thinking governments
looks like you are heading backwards to the sorry state of affairs that exist in China

it not replacing the current infrastructure, its there to back up the fragile fossil fuel power generation infrastructure - instant power on tap.
its standardised the distros not fracture it
Farage... is that you spouting out of your arse again?

show us any useful software that has never had a bug......

You are not expecting the trolls to understand that, are you?
who takes notice of troll websites created by the bitter and twisted?
you don't have to... roll your own if you are capable or go to a distro that doesn't use it.
storage is the simple answer and most children will understand that...
