pointing out the factual issue that people who belong to the alphabetsoup group loose their damn minds whenever people not of their group say... well... anything really, is not a phobic response.
its no more phobic than pointing out other well known facts like, the sky is blue, the earth is round and water is wet.
define "all western governments" please. i know what the normal persons definition of this is, but id like to know what your insane version is going to be here.
[snip]A large part of this is that the founding fathers had no exposure to American leftism [/snip]
are you stupid? the founding fathers were raging leftists who overthrew the f'n government. the conservatives of the day were loyalists through and through.
you really.... REALLY... need to understand (or in your case even LEARN) history before you open your trap.
what i will make of it is that you have offered nothing to back up what you're saying.
please do so and i will consider your comments with an open mind. until then, its coming across as typical anti corporate mudslinging that usually turns out to be inaccurate.
i looked at down n out burgers in australia. there is absolutely nothing that remotely reminds me of in n out at all there. personally, i cant even see this as good lawyering... at best this is flat out bullying based ONLY on the name down n out being somewhat similar. at worst this is just pure stupidity.
go look em up yourselves: http://www.downnout.com.au/
and my answer to that is... so what? are you trying to tell me that every city that has underfunded these things did so because of muni broadband investments?
failing at running a city is not tied to muni broadband... just ask stockton ca.
so much bad information from people who based on what they're posting really should know better.
almost all of this is money but not in the areas you think
any system that allows interconnects are going to have a shutdown to block backfeed when the grid is down. period. its a safety concern.
any hybrid system that has a battery backup, has the proper shutoffs to handle this exact issue- a point that (while i may have missed it) has not been pointed out. the reason i dont have a battery backup on my existing solar system which by the way functions exactly like this- is because just that one single function of a battery backup for a hybrid would have cost me an additional 10-15 grand. the real reason people cannot use their solar right now in those affected areas is because they opted to not spend the money that would have allowed them to do so. Period.
yes, the technology exists. Yes there are laws that are there for safety purposes but no, the laws do not stop anyone from putting the proper system in place for them to avoid this situation as long as they pay for it.
I did not, so when the power grid goes down, even in the day time..... im out of juice just like everyone else in my area. if i want out of that, its up to me to spend the money to put the proper system in.
none of this takes a place being completely off grid into consideration and that is the only ridiculous part of this- there should be no reason for that
one person strolls in and tosses out an obviously trolltastic comment with zero substance and then tons more have to fire back with the exact same type of comment which does nothing but prove that this stuff can be done and no one will care... because all anyone really cares about anymore is making sure we blame the other guy... doesnt matter whos really at fault, doesnt matter what was actually done, nope... all that matters is that we make sure we scream like a bunch of spazzed out monkeys.

oh well.
another article that some useful discourse would have been good for ruined by the usual trolls.

except stockton... geeze stockton... get better already would ya?
Re:
the more you tighten the laws down, the more criminals you create.
