Why do you set a fixed price of 36 Euro / MWh for the next 20 years. At least take the phelix Futures to get a somewhat reasonable picture: https://www.eex.com/en/market-data/power/futures/phelix-de-

Hi Christian, first of all I think it's a great commitment. May I ask what measures stripe has taken when it comes to energy efficiency to reduce emissions - often this can be cheaper than cleaning up the mess afterwards. Do you know,

Sure, energy density can be looked up pretty much everywhere but here is a paper mentioning it, which might be otherwise interesting to you as well: https://afdc.energy.gov/files/pdfs/hyd_economy_bossel_eliass...

Does anyone know if there is anyone researching on CH4 (Methane) sequestration? While it's concentration is vastly lower than CO2 (around 1.6ppm vs >400 ppm CO2) it still has roughly a quarter of the impact of the atmospheric CO2. I

But now during simulations test pilots apparently found situations where the computer was too slow to handle their input in adequate time. So while the crash was not the caused by this problem, there seems to be a problem.

The issue is (from what I understand as layman) that to avoid recertification they kept their old computer hardware from earlier 737 generations, and added more and more tasks to do for it. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/

That sounds like adding a heuristic which works most of the time which is something I can see myself doing to cover some pathfinding issue in a game where it's sufficient if it works 99,9% of the time or when working on a simulation wh

Nuclear is far from being cheap. Take a look at the exploding costs at Flamanville [0], Olkiluoto[1], Hinkley Point C[2]. Those 3 Plants alone already cost more than 1/50 of the 2 trillion which you claim would have been sufficient. De

"Fossil fuel/non-renewables" would not have been the biggest, as you can see in the chart, "renewables" is bigger. Also they didn't split it into those subcategories so that solar wins, this technology split is

That seems to be such a basic task. Please take it not as me not believing it but could you provide some source about there not being a known O(N) solution for that problem, I'd like to know what the hurdles are and why there might be

With the recent delays at Flamanville 3 because of faulty welds [0] which make a completion before end of 2020 rather unlikely there are big question because that is one of the conditions in the hinkley point C contracts [1] [2]. [0] http:

I know, but they said the same about the EPRs, so I remain sceptical that it will work that way. Solar,Wind,Batteries,Hydrogen Production,Synthetic Fuel Production is becoming cheaper year by year so Nuscale need not only to meet their init

Their webpage [0] has the construction cost at $3 billion for a ~700 MW reactor. This is about the same as the originally projected cost for the Flamanville EPR with 1600 MW, which now is expected to end up costing ~$10 Billion. Now even if

the energy density would be a factor if we had any actual space issues. But the area needed for solar and wind is not what is the problem. I agree with you that it is an emergency where not enough action is taken, but even then why not go f

It's always about cost, if it wasn't about cost we could just build so much PV/Wind + Power to Gas/Liquid Facilities as we need and be done with it. And building new nuclear is way more expensive than projected in your l

nuclear was being phased out before fukushima anyways in germany, it was just accelerated a few years. New nuclear power plants are just way too expensive - take a look at Flamanville, Hinkley point C, Olkiluoto 3, Wylfa Newydd and Hanhikiv
