Comment Re:Tell me again effective identity doesn't matter (Score 1) 88

I guess a good way to hold onto another person's identity is to quickly open a bunch of accounts and move a bunch of times so the real person can no longer answer the identity questions.

And the defense against that is to buy your own information from the dark web because the credit agencies aren't going to give it to you without answering the questions correctly.

It's like the guy who squatted in his own home to make the squatters leave.

Or instead of charging anybody, just require retailers to accept the waste plastic and then either recycle it themselves or return it to the manufacturers to recycle.

Recycling plastic uses more energy than it saves.

Then to avoid paying that cost, retailers will stop selling single use plastics. Problem solved.

It is not putting out the same product as a coal or gas power station because its supply is unpredictably intermittent

That's a myth.

Yes, you could use it to pump water into a pumped reservoir system. Or to heat a thermal store. Or maybe to generate hydrogen by electrolysis.

Yes, or to charge a Powerwall or an electric car with V2G/V2H.

So gas plants with very short startup lead times are used to cover when the wind is not blowing.

That's already obsolete.
