The loss in transmission lines is quantified by the heating loss value I^2*R pronounced “eye squared R” where I is the line current in the phase and R is the total line resistance. Power is V*I thus you can keep power constant and quarter the heating loss is you double the line voltage. This physical property is why long distance transmission lines operate in hundreds of thousands of volts. However at that crazy potential you actually get leakage thru the isolators too to Mother Earth which increases total transmission loss. I’d really doubt the line loss is in the 50% range but don’t honestly know.

I was driving along a back road a few years ago and saw a huge flock of birds take off from a field headed my way. I figured I was a real target - apparently they weren't in the mood. Anyway one bird flew between the transmission lines and created a great ball of fire. It was impressive; too bad the Killer wasn't there to see it.

Seems like the line losses would be variable and highly dependent on the length of the power lines. The "R" isn't squared, but big numbers in the denominator are still not good in cases like transmission losses.

All the tax hikes hitting Americans January 1 revealed Electricity costs to soar nest egg not safe | Daily Mail Online

Democrats are proposing a tax increase that more than doubles the current excise taxes on coal production.

Under this proposal, the tax rate on coal from subsurface mining would increase from $0.50 per ton to $1.10 per ton, while the tax rate on coal from surface mining would increase from $0.25 per ton to $0.55 per ton.

The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that this will generate $1.2 billion in taxes that are expected to be passed on to consumers in the form of higher electricity bills.

Lol, this must have been written by an illiterate Gen Z'r.



Yeah, that changed to 85% of benefits back during Reagan's Clinton administration and the amount of money you have to earn to get taxed at that rate hasn't changed one dime at somewhere around $25k since then.

My mistake Reagan did the first 50%, Clinton added the next 35%.

That Gen Z’r is math-illiterate also. How did you miss commenting on this brilliant math in the final paragraph?

Rocket HQ reported a year ago that “A typical household in the United States spends more than 44,400 a year on utility bills, according to data from Move.org. That’s more than $366 a month.” 🧐

****..44K per year. That would leave a real mark.

I saw that, but chocked that up to a typo, since $4,400 would be $366/Mo. On the other hand, I don't think any of these people proofread anything they write.

Lack of proofreading is the issue. It was supposed to be $4,400. The dollar sign on the keyboard is Shift 4. When I was reading that article, I busted out laughing at the 44,400 figure. Biden's future plans perhaps?

Way back in my nuclear power plant operating days, when we went to do a switching order on the 500 KV transmission lines, we would hold a fluorescent tube light in the air while standing under the lines. It would light up. So, yeah, lots of losses. I will say that the arc is impressive on a 500 KV disconnect being operated, unless it’s when you’re doing it manually with the hand crank. Scary as hell. But at least you get to stand on a grounded piece of grating. Like that’s going to save you.

In an exclusive interview with the Financial Times, co-founder of Home Depot Bernie Marcus stated Biden is “the worst president in the history of this country.”

He then proceeded to say socialist policies in the United States are making people too lazy to work. Marcus went on record saying Socialism is causing a mindset where nobody works. Nobody gives a damn. “Just give it to me. Send me money. I don’t want to work – I’m too lazy, I’m too fat, I’m too stupid.”

Funny how dems have been using the same tax loopholes for years, but they go after a republican for doing the same thing they do. I still want to know how members of congress (both sides) get rich, and it's not a conflict of interest.

they aren't going after a republican... They are going after Trump

Biden Family Disowns Hunter's 4-Year-Old Daughter, Remains "Estranged From The Child" | ZeroHedge

The woman who mothered Hunter's secret lovechild, Lunden Alexis Roberts, filed paperwork on Tuesday requesting that an Arkansas court allow the child, Navy Joan Roberts, be given the Biden name, claiming that the toddler would "benefit from carrying the Biden family name" because it's "now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful."

The Bidens, meanwhile, have completely ignored the President's grandchild - striking her attendance from the 46th presidential inauguration and allegedly refusing to offer security aid to the mother-daughter pair, despite domestic violence threats from Roberts' ex.

Mother of Hunter’s daughter Navy requests surname be changed to Biden after family refuses to acknowledge child

"Her lawyer, Clinton Lancaster, argued that Navy would "benefit from carrying the Biden family name," because it is "now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful."

Really?

Biden Reminds Americans About His 'Inflation Reduction Act' Fraud
Click to expand...


This is called winning to our lefties. The deficit will probably be near $2T, and that is before this latest BS.
Gonna be a trainwreck.

It said household purchasing power has fallen about $5,500 in 2022 because of inflation, while household income has only increased about $3,000. The CBO added that if interest rates remain elevated over the next two years, that can be expected to increase the costs of buying houses and cars, and will weaken the demand for workers in industries such as residential construction.
Slower growth and elevated interest rates will also mostly likely lead to higher federal budget deficits and debt. CBO simulations based on updated economic data indicate budget deficits in 2023 running higher by $200 to $300 billion, and even more in 2024.
