Norway: large hydro resources, low population. Costa Rica: 80% hydro. Scotland: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-56530424 says that renewable met 97% of energy demand, which does not mean that clean electricity was

Which ones? Are we talking 90%, an the entire year, without creative accounting? Disregarding electric dams because, while wonderful, those depend heavily on the country geography and I assume a lot of countries cannot build enough of them.

Covid maintenance postponed + corrosion issues led to this bad timing; otherwise looks like it worked pretty well for decades. France closed a working-order nuclear plant for political reasons just two years before, so we're not making

> Solar is modular, proven, and roaring. Nuclear has been proven in France for decades. I've yet to see a medium-sized country with solar as the backbone of electricity production.

Could just using aircraft guns be easier? I am probably completely wrong, just curious.

Note: when disabling animations on GNOME, a noticeable delay seems to remain before the alt-tab switcher appears. I don't remember which extension I use to work around that; maybe this one: https://extensions.gnome.org/

Large? Fossil fuels are making significant parts of earth inhabitable.

Maybe cheaper as of today if we don't account for storage, but since buulding renewables use far more materials than nuclear, would fossil fuels which ensured cheap production and transport become lacking, or base materials extraction

> More than half of France's nuclear reactors are out of commission right now COVID and corrosion issues being investigated led to that, but the fact is that France has had a reliable clean electricity supply for decades before that

Having uBlock is also pretty nice in that you can easily block obnoxious panels or buttons used to advertise new product features that you don't care about.

This article says that (an emergency resident says that) the analysis is not peer-reviewed and that the sample size is quite small (20 death for men below 40). A big part of the article is actually about showing us other less fringe opinion

Relying on this seems to imply strongly overbuilding for the worst case. Meaning all regions should have enough wind power capacity to compensate for the occasional lack of wind everywhere else.

I also wonder if NREs can stay cheaper once we actually try to replace the entire world electricity production considering the higher material usage than nuclear if concrete and steel production cannot keep up with demand. (well, in the end

Are grid operators and electricity generation operators separated in the US? Depending on the grid policy, what is profitable may change. If in case of surproduction you ask baseload to reduce production in favor of NREs, then NREs will be

I guess there's also the argument that in case of dam failure, most people don't live to tell the tale, so it does not stay in the news for a long time. In case of nuclear incident, actual death may be lower but the affected peopl

Capacity factor: actual yearly energy produced is 10-25% of capacity for solar, 89% for nuclear. Storage cost.

If we only replace coal with gas and leave climate change go awry, several order of magnitudes more will become inhabitable.
