And the year before. And the year before that. And a few years before that. And a decade before that. All while accumulating massive debts and deferred maintenance (and relying on german coal).

You're a generation behind. Those things all happened and now people are fighting to regain the right for humans to occupy outdoor space.

Probably the best and simplest indicator is to look for 8 or 9 speed on the back wheel, or a premium rear gearbox like a rohloff, or either a 3 or 5 speed sun gearbox like a sturmey archer or shimano 3 speed. Brands will vary both in servic

You brought up the weird diversion with strange non-facts about tilting. I merely mentioned (and sourced) that it is now the cheapest source of energy pretty much world-wide. It was just a bizarre misreading of other people's work as w

Please learn to read, or at least learn some basic arithmetic to check if your misinterpretation is even logically coherent. This is a rather extreme example of condescending from a position of ignorance. Made even worse by literally having

That was your insult, not mine. You have repeatedly attacked anyone who uses any aggregated statistic by insulting them. If you want people to respect you, stop talking down to them from a position of ignorance and stop being a hypocryte. I

Maybe make them low enough that details of the worst nuclear incedent in the US don't get covered up for 30 years?

Alternatively just have 3 hours of storage and keep the gas generators hanging around for that one week in two years they're needed. All the money wasted on nuclear can then be put towards electrification of emissions sources which are

Bad busses that snake because there aren't enough routes and get stuck behind broken driverless cars are bad. This isn't news. Nor does it mean you shouldn't male a good transit system instead.

Alright, now do it again but this time assign the coal to the countries importing the electricity rather than where it is burnt and include the actual GWP of gas (ie. around the same as coal) and include the actual GWP of France's nucl

... You are willfully failing to understand the concept of correlation. Sun and wind are anticorrelated in most regions. Adding both reduces the storage needed. It doesn't increase it. Condescendingly stating that solar alone requires

You don't understand why a country wouldn't want to go a hundred billion euros in debt maintaining derelict nuclear plants and being wholly dependent on a hostile foreign power for fuel? Or you don't understand why people wou

Now compare wind and solar and existing hydro and 2-5% w2e to just wind instead of just wind vs. just solar. At a mix appropriate for the region (for example some regions get 800kWh/kWp/yr, others get 2400, wind ranges between 200

They replaced all the nuclear with renewables (in spite of that same government sabotaging the rollout), and the hydro shortfall. The coal replaced the gas and french nuclear.

Now give me the list of ones that don't run on U235 or on a once through cycle (or a quantity of Pu greater than they produce which is the same thing with extra steps). Just because you name something a unicorn doesn't make it shi

LWRs are not renewable because the quantity of economically accessible U235 inferred to be in the world (not even the stuff discovered) is about enough to power the world for 10 years. Breeders do not exist.

Nuclear is neither all that reliable nor is it dispatchable. And yes you can with a small amount of dispatchable energy: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-26355-z

The gas generators don't evaporate. Using them for a week once a decade is a negligible amount of emissions and paying the entire staff to just mime the other 99.5% of the time on top of a renewable grid is still vastly cheaper.

So give the essential stuff its own circuit. Or encrypt and mandate the owner gets to set the key.

The amount of Cs and Tc accumulated in the english channel, irish sea and north sea indicate you're lying. Also you're glossing over all the other transuranics. There aren't even any aspirations for MOX2 separation.
