The type where I vote on the commissions who run it, the books are public, and if they have money left over at the end of the year, nobody gets to run off with it.
Michigan is a region where the utility companies are closely tied to the coal companies, you're not describing economic effects you're describing market manipulation. Duh.
Bonus points for not being mealy-mouthed with a secret political agenda you encourage people guess at.
I agree. That's why instead of telling the world what was going on, the spent the first 6 months trickling out parts that were incorrect, like the PDFs the British trainers made that misstated the capabilities of the program it was training for, because the people writing the training didn't have full access.
So by the time they started leaking legit shit, the media was ignoring the details because it was old news. There's probably still lots of important information that hasn't been reported, but it wouldn't make much money at this point.
Hey derpstick, in WWII, when American Citizens were found among the German ranks... they got shot at just like the other Germans.
And there were no Constitutional implications at all.
Same here. If you go to a war zone to hide from the US Government, it is entirely lawful to blow you up there instead of capturing you and dragging you home.
And his family litigated the matter in the US, and the Courts upheld his status as a combatant. So it is just incredibly derptastic to be still bleeting about it. You are not the Law, nor are you the Court, nor is the Constitution made up of whatever you say.
Did you think it was unconstitutional for the Union soldiers during the Civil War to fire their weapons? Or did you think they were supposed to file legal charges instead. "Hold on there, charging soldier, stop right there, I'm gonna find a lawyer and get permission to shoot if you're not careful!" That's not how war works. The Constitution doesn't ban war. In fact, there seems to be some evidence that the Founders weren't even against war!
For those of us with public utilities, it is the opposite; when they're marketing renewables it means the prices are going down.
Probably because their books are public, and if there is money left over at the end of the year, nobody gets to take it home! They just lower the rates the next year. Or more realistically, defer increases due to inflation.
Whenever my utility invests in renewable generation, which they've been doing for decades, the rates go down relative to rates in states that didn't do that sort of investment, and relative to prior rate predictions.
You're going in circles, but you haven't noticed that those plants already exist and that means you don't need to double-count them.
I understand, you hate hippies. You've always hated hippies. Green power is hippie shit. But still, that doesn't mean you get to double-count the extant power plants to blame them on the hippies.
You can't have the electricity from the PV make it to the wall outlets without having a grid-tied system. If you want to PV to battery, you have to use totally separate plugs.
Switching by time of day is fine for hermits, but most households that's a complete non-starter. People want to use their wall plugs, and they don't want all their appliances to be flashing 12:00 twice a day.
And so with a grid-tied system, your meter measures the flow both directions. During the hours you're generating a surplus, it goes out over the lines to your neighbors, and you get credited at wholesale rates, minus delivery. So about a quarter what you pay for delivered power, assuming delivery and usage costs are about the same, as is true locally. Then when the sun goes down, the power is flowing the other way.
It is actually a bit better than that if you're using AC during the day, because the meter doesn't see the power you generate and use.
So if every house has PV, then daytime AC is mostly from locally (neighborhood-level) power, nighttime still comes from what the utility sources, and there is still money to run the grid. They're making money off the daytime generation, because the neighbor that uses it still pays the full delivery + usage. So they actually end up with more money, rather than less. They do almost no maintenance from your generation, and it doesn't change what infrastructure the neighborhood has.
For EV, that's a good use case for a non-grid-tied battery system. You can make that part one way if you don't generate enough to charge the car, and still have it pull what it needs off the grid. And if you do have a surplus, you just wait to send it to the grid until after you've charged the car.
A journalist is getting ready to publish a book on a group of early Church of the Dead Cow members who agreed to be interviewed and named. He is one of those people. He agreed to it and did the interview early during his Senate run.
So naturally it is the PR firm of the journalist's publisher that is cashing in on his run. I have no idea if it helps him or hurts him, but I do know that the PR firm probably doesn't care.
They weren't hackers. They were phone phreaks, though, and he admitted to stealing phone card numbers to make long distance calls.
Abusing phone cards, pirating games, sharing text files that would get them in trouble with their parents if anybody found out. That stuff.
He says he quit all that when he went to college, which was in `91. Word became a big success when Win 3.0 was released in `90. It seems to be `93 when the WordBasic macros came in, from then until `97.
The article isn't about him being a hacker. It is about him being an early member of a group that was later associated with hacking.
The closest to hacking he got was sharing pirated games, and he also says when he went to college he realized it was wrong and stopped.
He started college in `91. The group wasn't really associated with hacking until `99, when a member released Back Oriface.
They were a writing club into blood and gore and offense. That's actually about it. It was like blogging, before the internet was even public; a place where you could write any sort of weird fiction you wanted, and share it with other humans, and not get in trouble. That was a bit new of a concept.
That's his accomplishment; he raised a record amount of money for his senate run, and he's a Democrat from Texas which makes people feel dreamy.
I expect his popularity already went down as an actual candidate; a lot of people were preemptively supporting him now in anticipation of him being a candidate in `28. A lot of those people wouldn't have said such nice things about him in public if they knew he was running this cycle, in a crowded field.
He wasn't a "hacker," he joined an underground BBS group that was into writing morbid, bloody, and offensive fiction. And sharing pirated games. The group was named the Cult of the Dead Cow. It was just a writing club.
Then a couple decades much later, one of the people from that group released Back Oriface, so they got associated with hacking/cracking. But that has absolutely nothing to do with this guy.

You read it here first, folks.
What you said was so generic, I doubt even a single person read it here first.
You didn't name the name of the thing, so it doesn't even have that much difference compared to the standard rant.
Why do you ask?
Its not "okay" because the Courts made bad rulings.
That's not up to you. The Court said it was legal, therefore it was legal.
If you're against the rule of law, that's you. You do you. The Courts do the Law.

That is such complete horseshit, I wonder if you ever read a history book in your life?!
That's like, "History as guessed at from contemporary talking points - 101."

A chicken for every pot.
Like, duh.
Sorry, that's only 1/10th of a Jet Girl.
She worked at Water and Power, you know.
All of them.
I don't think you're going to discharge the whole storm with a kite anyways, so it wouldn't really pair with their other number.
You're going to need a giant pyramid made of metal.

I'm in Oregon and I've had separate delivery and usage charges listed since my first apartment in the 1990s.
The promotion isn't his PR firm.

Knowing who you won't vote for is a lot easier than knowing who you will vote for.
For example, I'm not willing to vote for anybody with a slashdot account.
Well, before that mostly.
It was from when they were just BBS nerds.

Isn't it hard to run for VP as Biden 2.0 while running against Biden?
He is reknowned as a fundraiser.
That's his accomplishment; he raised a record amount of money for his senate run, and he's a Democrat from Texas which makes people feel dreamy.
I expect his popularity already went down as an actual candidate; a lot of people were preemptively supporting him now in anticipation of him being a candidate in `28. A lot of those people wouldn't have said such nice things about him in public if they knew he was running this cycle, in a crowded field.

I doubt it provides many answers, other than, "don't use this one."
