The USA literally killed 168 schoolgirls on day one in this fucked up meaningless war. If you’re American you have an obligation to get rid of these war criminals you’ve elected.

It took 5 years from construction start to grid connection for Oskarshamn R3, at the time the reactor with the world’s highest rated output. Since it began operating it has produced 350TWh. That nuclear power must take forever is a myth and

1. I personally believe the “lost knowledge “ is overstated. Europe knows very well how to manage large scale infrastructure projects. It still has a healthy nuclear industry. 2. Once the vote is there(Switzerland is a direct democracy), th

So let’s learn from that lesson and rebuild nuclear power in Europe? Let’s hope Switzerland takes the lead here, Sweden are already building. The political will is there. Let’s do it?

Every time this argument comes up, “it’s too slow and expensive “, I ask that person to please explain to me how my home country Sweden managed to build all those reactors in the 70s and 80s both fast and cheap? They’ve been amazing for us,

Switzerland is not in the EU.

I don’t know the ratio, cables vs overhead lines, but overhead lines are very common in Europe as well. I deliberately didn’t use GDP per capita as it’s a flawed measurement. Have a look at these lists, not many US cities qualify. https:&#

I work in the energy sector for a manufacturer you’ve definitely heard of. The USA is ahead in certain industries, mostly information technology, but decades behind in others. Literally, you have technology most of Europe moved away from in

I didn’t have a problem with Trump during his first term. It was clear he was unfit to be a president, but he was mostly golfing.

I’m assuming you’re talking about Biden, and no, not really. Still considered a superpower. Up until the second Trump presidency, most of us outside the USA had basically the same opinion as we had before. Pretty messed up politics , but st

No, what Elon can do(and is indeed doing) is to take out loans at a fantastic rate. No need to sell anything.

Yes, the current administration has been in power for less than two years so obviously the “day to day life” hasn’t changed much for the average American (except everything has gotten more expensive). The US is no longer looked at as a supe

I don’t think it’s good that the USA has so much influence due to their dominance in information technology. It was only nominally democratic, now it’s a total shit show.

So you’re only guessing it’s temporary then.

Honestly I have a strong suspicion that “the talent pool” will shift towards Europe and China and I believe it’s already happening. And yes, I do believe Europe will invest in this technology.

Not “everyone”, it was clear to many that Amazon was continuously reinvesting into the business for perpetual growth. SpaceX has a tiny revenue compared to its market cap.

And how long is “temporary”? They are normally used during power outages or during construction(days, not weeks).

No, “mobile generators” are not constantly powered at one location. Typically they are unused in storage and brought to location without power. It could be a warehouse with sensitive equipment (freezers etc), a hospital in need of extra pow

You think Elon Musk would be stupid enough to give away control? He still has >80% of the vote.

Why would it have to be mediocre? Both Netherlands and Sweden produce highly competent researchers. Per capita on par with any other location on the planet, including California. This will be good for Europe as a whole and also the planet.

hackers used to be a large percentage of software engineers and are indeed intelligent people with an open mind. However since ~2005 their percentage of the total has gone from ~25% to <1% as computers became less of a hobby and a way

No it’s not. I flew from Zürich to Bangalore via Qatar and both flights had starlink. There are many many uses for it, besides rural homes.
