Alright, on Interference, chatting up somebody pretending to be Jordan Hewson.

What pisses me off about electricity generation is how much bloody water it uses. They'd better not be boiling potable water in those things, that's all!!
All the distributors charge all the retailers the same amount for power and gas. Any difference in the prices the retailers offer is dependent on how much they want to cut into their profit margins (which, looking at the bill I get in the mail, are pretty bloody significant)...

I can already tell tomorrow isn't going to be my most productive day.
There are so many new retailers popping up, you could probably get away with it... although generating a data file for your one account every month would be irritatingAxver said:I know little about power generation. The only time I think of water in connection with it is with regards to hydroelectric dams, which I thought were pretty environmentally sound besides the whole issue of flooding the daylights out of some poor valley.
I should pretend to set up my own electricity company and just buy it wholesale then?
Spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam....Axver said:I wonder if we can get more crazy spamming going tomorrow.
Have a good night!

My dad is still furious about Lake Pedder. (Peddar?) He loves Tasmania and walked all over it in his youth, before and after Lake Pedder was flooded. And it was COMPLETELY unnecessary. Tasmania had more than enough power then, and still does now. (I think.)
As far as conventional power stations go, they are insane. Burn coal, boil water, rising steam turns a turbine which generates the power via some gizmo like a dynamo or something. Same deal with nuclear, except it's just the radioactivity coming off the uranium that heats the water. Which disappears into the atmosphere as steam.
It all seems too elaborate to me. Give me solar or wind power any day.
Time flies when you're postwhoring?Axver said:I suspect things on the postwhoring front are about to fall quiet, eh?
Though wow, how did it become nearly 1am already!
Alisaura said:Depends who's rubbishing it. People with a vested interest in maintaining the dominance of coal-fired plants will obviously resist anything that could replace them...
I haven't done any research on the figures, but I would love to think that, maybe when the tech has improved and we have really good batteries, most homes might be able to provide most of their own power with solar panels and/or a windmill thing on the roof... especially if you live in a windy suburb. There are spots in the city that act like wind tunnels... a water tank and a windmill on every building and we'd be sorted.

I don't think my post count has jumped like this since the setlist parties... and I only caught the last few of those.
*nostalgia*
I can't decide if I should go to bed now or not... I did just start a new massive book yesterday...
Alisaura said:I guess it'll be fewer threads now that we can go to 1000 posts (I still can't figure out how it takes up less server space or whatever to have five 1000-post threads rather than one 5000-post thread)...
I usually stay up till all hours on Friday, cos I hardly get to chat to some American or UK people unless I'm up at 2am or whatever. But I didn't get much sleep last night, so I might be a wuss and go to bed... even if I just read for an hour instead of posting.
Ah, that makes sense. I don't have a clue about IT stuff...Axver said:I think it's because of the requests made on the database. It takes more database effort to sort a 5,000 post thread than a 1,000 post thread. Though most forums I've ever posted on have coped just fine without such limitations.
Oooh. Write! Write!Or maybe I should go write that story of mine that I rubbished back when Mr Tourist was round ...
