As an archeologist, what is your take on Jesus ? i have a suspicion that scholars have a massive dogmatic bias when they claim that historical Jesus existed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_myth_theory am i the

On the right latitudes 60+ these can be seen each year in the months around summer solstice during the short nights. Here's a timelapse over 2 hours if you want to see how some types of them move through the sky https://imgu

well i guess a 100 years lifetime was kind of pulled out of my ass, what i was trying to communicate is that you can I'm theory maintain a nuclear power plant to last for 100s of years but i guess if you'd just let it run without

solar is fine in some places for some usecases and yes it's very cheap to add, but we've currently got no viable solution for storing the energy efficiently.

seriously.. bring some evidence. onshore wind is just not going to happen it just has too many problems. and offshore wind is more expensive, less reliable and takes roughly the same time to build as nuclear. Denmark is currently planning t

please stop calling them nukes, it makes you sound like Greenpeace crazy person that actually think that a nuclear power plant has anything to do with nuclear weapons that nuke is normally referring to. could you please provide some evidenc

Hinkley Point C is a first of its kind project, if you want to be economical you should look to KNGR https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/APR-140 they've built several in Korea and one in Saudi Arabia where the cost wa

that's simply still not true. the last three plants built in Europe (England, France and Finland) has been very expensive because they've all been first of its kind and there hasn't really been built anything else. but if you

this is simply not true. according to IEA https://www.iea.org/reports/projected-costs-of-generating-el... LCOE of nuclear is cheaper than almost all other possibilities we have. sure nuclear is very expensive up front,

that is basically what happens, if you ever saw the raw image that the tiny sensor created it works look hideous, i guess it would just be adding a bit more to what's already happening

the number one problem with onshore wind is a capacity factor around 30% and on top of that you could have long periods with no wind at all.

bingo! it's crazy that people keep comparing this to wind turbines.

wind turbines only work when the wind blows.. not comparable

sorry but your comment shows that you obviously haven't looked into this stuff and are just spewing whatever headlines you've read. a week a few years back.. that doesn't sound too bad honestly and looks like something you ca

it does sound quite out there, i agree. and i personally think that it's too early to conclude that algorithms with neutral nets won't get us there, we simply don't have enough computing power to conclude that yet. Penrose ha

What i'm trying to say is that if you can convince enough people to subscribe, the price could be 20$ but the video media industry keeps clinging to the dream of exclusives which will in turn make people turn to piracy again. It might

You're missing an important detail, video is arguably a different market but it's still a digital good and it basically costs a company 0 to stream it to a new user. If i had one provider where i could get everything i'd glad

Of course we need new types of reactors, we already have reactors that can use the waste from old reactors types like CANDU. Most reactors in use today are ancient and inefficient using only 4% or so of the potential in the fuel. Your back

Could you point to a source claiming there's not enough uranium ? As far as i can find uranium is not considered rare https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c... Also could you point me to any

Solar and wind is not being anything as long as we haven't got a solution for storage. As it is now wind and solar are backed up by dirty sources like gas, coal and biomass and that isn't about to change any time soon.

Maybe for a short while, all reactors will be back online before winter and they are planning to build 10 new plants. France's only problem is that they also have a crazy "green" movement trying to ruin their nuclear program

Which is mind bendingly stupid.. why would you switch from nuclear to coal in the middle of an energy crisis. Germany is the epitome of failed, stupid and corrupt energy planning and are now pulling the whole of Europe down with them.

by Galaxeblaffer 4y ago
How is wind and solar in any way close to achieve what nuclear has already has? Solar and wind is not a mature technology at all, you would know if you lived in a country that has invested heavily in it. Where i live people has to use an ap

Thing is we didn't need to be stuck in a rough spot, if our electricity was clean we'd be excused for taking our time transforming the rest of our energy use. You are claiming that e-fuel costs are declining rapidly, but you forge

I'm not coming up with anything, but the first and glaring problem is that we can't store the energy created in any meaningful capacity. Sure we have some ideas like power2x but that doesn't really help for grid scale storage
