kudos:1 | It's sadly behind, alright... ... because sharing power lines for secondary purposes is a primitive technology, dating back to the sixties, and because it involves forcing high-tolerence network communications across a plant designed to carry low-tolerence, very low frequency electromagnetic waves down a one-way pipeline... while it's being used to do that. How would you like it if the gas company decided you could run water through the same pipeline that delivers your gas? I'm sure it can be done; if you waste as much money as it would cost to build TWO separate, discrete delivery systems working out all the bugs and getting it up and running... but would it be the best or most efficient use of that money, or that system? Or would researching truly new, truly exciting, practical delivery systems be a better use of the money?
I hate being one to say I told you so...
but...
I told you so.

There struts Hamlet, there is Lear,That's Ophelia, that Cordelia;Yet they, should the last scene be there,The great stage curtain about to drop,If worthy their prominent part in the play,Do not break up their lines to weep. |
