So the significance here is that if you had remote access to a single wind turbine, you can control the others? Implying, if there were a vulnerability in the control system of one turbine, the rest of them are exposed? Rather than showing

I'm listening to an album release related to the film; "Ghost in the Shell (Music Inspired by the Motion Picture)". So they've released something, just not the Clint Mansell OST.

Nah, it's where all of the cutting edge tech research is, from wind lidars steering turbines, before the wind has reached it, to new materials for 10MW+ turbines and new grid and storage tech to support it.

Yes it is. But it's going to drop quite quickly the more off-shore wind developments there are. Unfortunately, these prices only drop when people start building them. When the banks get more experience with the risks involved the proje

Opps, I'll update my post. Looks like peeyek had already pointed out that the pointer isn't const anyway.

"void foo(const int * );" "The function foo takes a const pointer". I thought foo was taking a pointer a constant, where the pointer itself could change. This may seem pedantic, but perhaps the optimization he expected w

The same has happened in the UK I've noticed. Currently 500MW but previously today 150MW. http://gridwatch.templar.co.uk

Has it? I haven't heard of americanthinker.com before, but do you have a reputable source for that claim, such as an independant study published in an independent journal that has been peer reviewed? Such as [0]. Because other legitima

I'm pretty certain that scientists are able to reconstruct temperatures going back thousands of years from various sources, with other information such as atmospheric carbon volumes. Here's one source: https://www.bas.a

Can you provide some info about how pumped storage doesn't cover this need? Because pumped storage was developed to deal with the huge spikes that user demand put on an energy grid that's mainly generated with nuclear.

His book, renewable energy without the hot air, is something that I frequently use as a reference and my last comment on Hacker news was a reference it. I had no idea he had cancer, as I read his other blog. It's deeply saddening that

I don't know where he got his reference from, but, renewable energy without the hot air, has something similar, it calculates the number of deaths per GWy, for different sources[0]. Coal is certainly near the top (second to oil)[0]. Al

I think my point still stands in response to his argument, if you ignore post-tax subsidies. The pre-tax sum is $333bn in 2015 and $541bn in 2013. So would easily accumulate to trillions over a short number of years. But I do think post-tax

If renewables did get trillions in investment this far, a reference would be nice, it wouldn't touch the subsidies fossil fuels receive annually at $5.3tn[0]. [0] IMF, How Large Are Global Energy Subsidies, 2015, http://www.

Offshore wind power is also cheaper than tidal generators. Neither of your sources show that the reason our electricity rates are higher than the US rates, is due to offshore wind.
