I hope the Lidl cloud gets some traction.

I wouldn’t be surprised if historically there were more women than men due to accidents involving mammoths or clubs meeting skulls.

At least where I live the government is happy to spend a million euros every year to postpone a five million one time cost.

The reason climate change isn’t solved is that it’s a problem that can’t be solved by technology alone. We already have all the technology we need to decarbonize. We lack the political will to make the necessary investment.

Yeah, but pricing signals are a good way of reaching those goals.

The important part remains internalizing emission costs into the price of electricity. Fussing over individual users seems like a distraction to me. Rapid decarbonization of electricity is necessary regardless of who uses it. Demand will s

You can get away with less because a good part of the power is outside the visible range.

Don’t the subsidies apply to all panels regardless of their origin?

The atmosphere will be stripped away over a time period of millions of years though.

The value of n is pretty important in the discussion.

You might have accumulated some decades of data in that format and now want to ingest it into a database.

1500 return on 9000 investment is 16%. Hard to beat that with other investments.

If you had a solar fence you could run the AC during max solar production for a couple of hours and not use it the rest of the day then. You might want to do the math on replacing the HVAC with a heat pump before it breaks, might be a good

A kWh of batteries costs about 200€ where I live, but if the panels cost a comparable amount to a normal fence you can probably just run the AC a bit cooler when the sun shines and use your house as a thermal battery.

I wonder why IR is slow. Shouldn’t there be plenty of bandwidth available at those frequencies?

40MWh only keep it running for 90 minutes?

BigO for lower bounds is plain wrong

Finding lower bounds is generally more difficult.

France is effectively planning to reduce nuclear power though. Since they want to keep nuclear weapons it won’t go to zero, but they’re not planning to build enough new reactors to maintain their current output. Electricity demand however w

You need something that can provide instantaneous reserve to stabilize the frequency. Traditionally that’s inertia of lots of big spinning generators. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_response

I have no idea how much power an EUV source consumes, but I’m surprised to hear that it’s more than a handful of kW. What’s the right ballpark?

Natural gas grids will face a similar problem as people switch to heat pumps.

When interns make mistakes they make human mistakes that are easier to catch for humans than the alien kind of mistake that llms make.

How difficult is it to make these with the tools available in the Asuka period compared to modern tools?

I find it amusing that it counts as capitalism succeeding when first Germany and now China massively subsidize panel production.

I wonder how they figured out that radon causes that cancer and not, say tire particles.

Heating systems generally are more efficient when they need to output less power. Whether that cancels the increased heat loss seems to be a question that can’t be answered in general.
