This is true not because of any shortcomings of nuclear, but by virtue of the fact that demand is not uniform. The same need to have excess capacity during non peak hours in order to have sufficient capacity during peak hours exists with fo

> In the absence of storage, neither nuclear nor geothermal plants are good at supplying peak demands. This is false. Nuclear and geothermal power can both satisfy peak demand just fine. Nuclear plants do take time to alter the thermal o

> 75% of all electricity consumption is too low to be a "valid option" for decarbonizing electricity? We have different ideas of what's valid. The US already generates ~40% of its electricity from carbon free sources. An

> The paper you cited shows that 1.5x overproduction can get the US to 75% of electricity from solar and wind without building any storage. Right, without storage you have to scale back the percentage of electricity you get from intermit

By comparison, a plant of the same design as the Vogtle plant was built in China at a cost of $7.3B, yielding a cost of $3.17 per watt of output [1] - under 1/3rd of the solar cost with the required overproduction. The Vogtle plant is

So your answer is yes? Under your understanding of harassment, someone can relentlessly bully and insult their co-worker all day long and it isn't workplace harassment so long as it doesn't refer to protected class?

The article specifically calls out harassment on the basis of protected class. But to read this as saying that unwelcome conduct, so long as it is not on the basis of protected class, isn't harassment is not a correct interpretation. A

So if a coworker goes to your workplace every day and says, "Slg is an idiot and a worthless human being who makes the company worse with his or her presence" that's not harassment? Because it's not based on race, religi

Great, you can start by addressing the points raised in the previous comment. They did indeed include specific arguments with quotes from you.

There's nothing I'd put in an email that I can't put in a comment here. The only reason why you'd want me to respond via email is so that your responses wouldn't be public for other people to see. If you want a long

Again, the fact that someone calling out a journalist for publishing falsehoods and calling them a sociopath for doing so (lying is a sociopathic tendency) is harassment in your eyes is astounding. It's good that we cleared up that you

> I have never argued for any restrictions on free speech and yet you continue to say that I have. Why is this confusing for you? You have repeatedly said that Balaji's actions are harassment. Again, harassment is illegal . Why is

This is a very simplistic approach. Over 90% of people killed by police are men. Does it follow that police are heavily biased against men? Over 90% of pediatricians are women. Is pediatrics heavily biased in favor of women? No, because eve

Studies do indicate a statistically significant difference in response rates from VCs in favor of women. But only ~10% difference, not something decisive: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/01/10&#x

Estimates vary. This study [1] calls for ~1,700 TWh of storage globally (and proposes that synthetic methane be used for that storage, but this requires a way of separating and storing carbon dioxide out of gas turbine exhaust which doesn&#
