Ehhhh..... Naive? My point was hypotheticals that Russia would like to achieve disconnected from the physical terminals. This is the first result when searching for it. > But Musk says it's been a difficult environment. "Star

Of course, they are? If Russia can hack SpaceX's systems and divert them to ensure they do not provide service over Ukraine, why wouldn't they? Or brick all terminals by sending a malicious update? Similarly, dealing with electrom

The expensive part is not the terminals, it is providing continuous reliable service in a hostile environment with a determined adversary.

You will not get insurance to operate your ship in a warzone either way. That was the problem with for example the Ukrainian grain export. So on that question, no, not more than any other system on board. A hardened navigation system does n

Which regulations should we remove then if it is that easy? We tried to solve the climate crisis with nuclear energy 15-20 years ago. It was the right thing to do at the time but it did not work out, instead renewables have exceeded all p

> LCOE is unrelated to systems costs. Yeah, imagine how great it will be when we can dimension the electricity grid for the average consumption rather than peak due to distributed generation and storage.

So it is impossible until it is possible? Gotta prove it physically instead of engineering a system that is known to work. > Also the world is about 82% fossil and biofuel. Primary energy usage, so an utterly irrelevant metric. With a co

I do not get where you think that need of a fossil grid comes from? Seems like a hyperbole based on preconceived notions? Research has consistently shown that a 100% renewable grid is feasible and economically sound. > Much of the resist

Given the outcome of Flamanville 3, Olkiluoto 3, Hinkley Point C, Vogtle, Virgil C. Summer and NuScale that predictability leans heavily towards renewables. They get built on time and within budget. https://en.wikipedia.org/

by Gwypaas 4y ago
The great thing today is that fossil and biofuels are not alternatives today. It is renewables. So no point arguing a straw man.

Again, the market does not exist anymore. That is the point you are missing. The British taxpayers are set to lose ~£50 billion in subsidies to Hinkley Point C because the government decided they needed a nuclear industry. [1] There is no m

Usually electricity transmission is funded by taxes since that is centralized infrastructure. Production is often a commercial endeavor where energy is trade by the hour, or through longer contracts, on open markets. This depends on the c

You are missing the forest for the trees in your blind defense of everything nuclear. There is no problem with the fact that the civilian nuclear programs came from the military ones. The point is that we have come full circle. For a nation

Because nuclear is enormously expensive and has always been subsidized by taxes or ratepayers. Subsidizing nuclear made sense when we were in the first R&D and commercialization phase 60 years ago. The idea to keep shoveling money into

The latest floating off-shore wind pilot project in UK went for £87.30/MWh = $105US/MWh. This is a super low scale project so if it works out we can expect costs to reduce quite drastically when scaling it up. https://a

For square riggers the problem is rather tacking, because then you're backing the entire sail area and putting strain in the wrong direction for the rigging. The rigging is built to withstand immense pressure from behind and the side,
