There is a radio station in Vancouver B.C.
that does nothing but traffic reports.

Who listens to it? Pedestrians? Doubt that...
Motorists.
Can you imagine being stuck in traffic and wondering why?
I know! Let's tune in the station that will tell me
why I am not moving.

And this is a 10 or 20kw station.
I can hardly think of a better way of wasting energy...

I know: Put a space heater inside a refrigerator and let them both duke it out.
That is about equivalent to the lunacy of having a traffic only powerhouse
on the AM dial.

On the plus side - it would be super easy to ID this station from anywhere
else on the globe.
