I don't see how a shared currency (between poor and rich states, with the subsidy flows that implies), a national air-traffic control system and the interstates, amongst many other…

Fails to mention the existential consequences of continuing with the 'oil' and 'gas' choices: wind and gas (and nukes) aren't just nice-to-have menu entries in an energy system...

I periodically re-tighten such connections in my much-lower-powered off-grid system. 10A is the most I expect to see in any part of mine. I have had overheats from poor connections…

It's always about costs - cost to run the service, cost to abuse the service. I was founder/CTO of a UK small e-money issuer, and while I am no fan of Musk, at PayPal he made a goo…

In the UK as a consumer you can (always AFAIK) get a smart meter for free, and your retail supplier is required to offer you a non-zero rate (the "Smart Export Guarantee") for what…

For a retractable you probably wouldn't be doing that more than once a day, and probably not for more than half a year, and less if if winds don't get too high. I can imagine 10Y l…

My home is in London UK and is relatively small and efficient, but 8kWh may be higher than our peak demand ever over more than 20 years in this house...

Do you mean "must be able to sit in Parliament"? The Lords and Commons are the two distinct chambers. There have been non-MP (ie non-Commons) PMs.

Obvs "MaaS" capitalisation for the full stock valuation. Obvs(2) a variant of this service has traditionally been provided for free by drunken teens. They might prove to be better …

Note that this is a UK-focused piece.

You are constructing a universe that simply does not exist or apply to me at least. I and my code are just not that important or special in the grand scheme of things.

You seem to be asserting some simple zero-sum exclusionary game here that does not exist. I am entirely content if Amazon or Google extracts some value - that in no way inhibits an…
