Precisely. When you said that most educators deserved to be in prison and should not be around kids you are extrapolating your personal experiences to every school on earth, which is ridiculous.
Or more the US public education system.
If that were true, in my experience in the public school system and with three institutions of higher learning, statistically speaking I would have had to have run into at least some of that. I didn't.
As I said, just because it worked for you does not mean it works for everyone.
I did not encounter a single professor who... how did you put it? "People who have no clue that they have no clue. They denigrate, belittle and ridicule the very people who created all the luxury that surrounds them which they have to yet fully appreciate." Yeah, that's it. Not a single teacher or professor I encountered was even remotely like that.
Which does not mean they do not behave that way toward others or all teachers act like yours did.
Of course I cannot dispute your experiences; I don't know you or what you ran into in schools you attended, but frankly what you said sounds merely like the parroting of rhetoric to me.
If the US education system was really worth something FAPE would apply to everyone. A one size fits all would not exist either.
Irony needs no explanation.
Explain, I genuine dont understand.
But yes, you did, which is exactly my point.
In some ways what I said holds water across the board. Google where US public education ranks when compared to the rest of the world and tell me why that might be. Tell me, why does it sit where it does if my experience was the only one.
Was any of that equipment DC? No. It was replaced, but what it was replaced with had to be compatible with the rest of the existing grid,
In fact it was not compatible. A 7.5kv transformer can not go on a 2.4kv grid. The entire distribution system and substation went from 4.16kv to 13.8kv. Price it out, it was not free.
and that "huge" cost was less than a particle of a pittance compared to what replacing the AC grid with DC would cost.
Today, tomorrow might be different.
What you are proposing is a wholesale replacement of the entire grid infrastructure. Forget about the cost for a moment; think about the pain of either having two incompatible systems running at once, or having to shut the whole grid down for the time it takes to replace all that hardware. It isn't going to happen any time soon, maybe never. Whether or not it would ultimately be a better system just isn't that relevant.
Wont happen. The change over will occur as equipment fails. This has occurred countless times all over the world and in the US. At one point 69kv was the dominant transmission voltage, it is now 115 and 138kv. How did they do that involving thousands of substations, lines and transformer?
Keep in mind these converters will take it into account. One day running DC to AC the next DC to DC.
