50 Hz is a lot easier to math (50 Hz = 0.02/s, 60 Hz = 0.0166666). Don't know if that's why, but it very easily could be.

What monopoly does Rogers have? They've been an option for various telecom offerings in places i've lived throughout canada, but I've never chosen them due to inferior product. Which monopoly do they have?

Sorry, it felt like some kind of a leading "gotcha" question. Why are you wondering about nuclear power in Spain, specifically? And why only from someone living there? Both seem entirely out of context with the discussion thread,

Once you get into those larger vehicles, vehicle weight doesn't matter so much (for regulations and for road wear). What matters is axle weight, which stays fairly consistent as you increase overall vehicle weight. eg for delivering bu

Funding road repairs, construction, and expansion from general tax revenues is similarly subsidizing a different mode of transit, and it's likely a much higher value than the 3b€ you mention (and likely more than overall railway sector

Yes, definitely a consideration - ol3 provides a significant fraction of Finland's power (~8% according to wiki). Having this large a fraction of any grid trip off would be disastrous. Grid managers have to consider similar things anyw

If you said 1-4, I would not have replied - that is an appropriate bound for how many traditional nuclear plants it takes to provide 1.7GW 2 to 3 is accurate for Canada, where the last nuclear plant to connect to the grid was 31 years ago.

One might argue that, but unless the one arguing it has been involved with the construction of an EPR, I would not put a lot of stock in it. My viewpoint (having involvement with many large (>$100M) construction projects, but not power p

When you cite a source for something, the source should justify the thing you're claiming. The relevant part of your post to the thread was that "The 19th century solution was to develop a bigger breed of horse." It is entire

Freeways are much, much less forgiving of abrupt speed changes and braking, which is something waymo (used to) have quite an issue with. Moving to freeways shows they are confident that won't be an ongoing issue.

They claimed there was bloc voting based on non-literary critera and responded by definitely bloc voting for non-literary criteria. I've read ~half the winners from 1960-1980, and a slightly larger proportion from 2000-2020. I foun
