Well, if he did it and there was no opposition, it certainly makes it "valid". Where exactly has it been made invalid? Has anyone done anything to make it invalid? Aren't they free, and can they do it again? And the slush fun

I see you didn't go down the page to "trends by age". It is not ad hominem to point out you don't search and you don't understand.

As mentioned already several times in the comments, there is also a long tail of people who survive but after a grueling and costly treatment that disrupt their lives.

The "grammar of graphics" conceptualized in ggplot is a very cohesive way to make (I think almost) any kind of graph, while remaining a high-level language/DSL.

With batteries, not only is renewable more reliable, it is also much easier to maintain grid stability.

All the R&D and industrial capacity building we have done since the 70s could have been accelerated if we had invested in it as much as we invested in nuclear, or oil, or gas, or coal. With public money. https://www.americanp

What is the cost of storing fissile radioactive material? This is making less and less economic sense. All paid by public money.

No, it isn't a made-up number. We know pretty well when do fishes die en masse , as we have seen it in periods of extreme heat before. The research has been done and is how the limits have been defined.

If you don't know that nuclear plants are routinely shut down in the heat of summer because the cooling water is too hot, you should learn more before opining on the topic. See this comment for more info: https://news.ycombi

This isn't a silly argument, this is a problem of allocation of resources. We could have had mass solar deployment since the 70s. We chose not to, and allocate the money elsewhere. Nuclear will take away billions in public money, put i

Your small nuclear reactor is going to need almost as much engineering , plumbing, safety mechanism, personnel, maintenance, etc... as your big nuclear reactor.

If you need 500 MW, you build one 500 MW reactor, not five 100 MW reactors. They will take more space. As for speed, a 100 MW reactor is not commissioned in 1/5 of the time a 500 MW reactor is.

Slight hyperbole, but nuclear reactors in Switzerland and France shut down more and more often because the water needed to cool them down is already too hot: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/climate-adaptation/beznau-n
