Market prices in the electricity grid do not work to incentivized lower consumption, and the latest few energy crisis in EU has demonstrated that clearly. You can't expect workers to go to work based on when the weather is optimal, and

Naturally. Build the solar in southern Europe and North Africa, and when enough countries in the route to northern Europe has built up enough transmission with HVDC, then we can start to decommission existing energy infrastructure in favor

Just to add some numbers here, in Sweden the amount of energy you get from solar during the worst months are a single digit percentage, while consumption of energy during the same period doubles from the average. Consumption during the best

A few different things would help. First would be to be clear and unambiguous when it comes to building gas/oil thermal power plants in order to deal with the intermittence problem of solar and wind. Political strategies in wind and so

This is when I would look up the nearest course for the subject that the job would want me to study, including the cost, time and travel distance. Talk is always much cheaper than the real thing.

The distinction between chosen reciprocity and expected reciprocity is indeed one aspect of the concept, and they do indeed have generally different circumstances and motivation. I would add that chosen reciprocity has additional context he

The strategy of using renewable energy when the weather is optimal and fossil fuels when it is not is one that Germany promoted to the point of getting EU to define natural gas as "green". To a degree it does work to make a countr

Given the recent activity in the middle east, production is ramping down. There has never been clearer, both in terms of climate and national stability, that fossil fuels need to be removed from the grid and the transportation sector. In te

If we are looking at things like gvisor or firecracker, SELinux might be an alternative. From what I can see, SELinux prevented both copy fail and dirty frag, and maybe also fragnesia but I couldn't find any definitive answer on that o

Let say Iran charge 2 million per ship and US boards and takes control over all ships leaving Iran. Everybody complains but understands. What happens at that point? Can shipping companies manage to pay both US and Iran? Will companies and n

One can argue that they have a "good reason" for ignoring international rules, but I would voice a risk here. Other nations that control important straits are watching what is happening and many of them could benefit more by taxin

If it was a competition in who did more harm the distinction may be relevant but in terms of saving the environment and turning back the ecosystem back to a sustainable one, the distinction between animal based or non-animal based is mostly

Looking at EU, the problem do not seem that his warning has not been heard. People see how thing has gotten worse and have heard the warning. The problem is that people can't agree on what to do next. Just looking at the energy discuss

Modern agriculture, both animal and non-animal versions, are bad for the environment. Artificial fertilizers, replacing forests with farm land, and drainage of wet lands are all heavily contributing to emissions and water pollution, destroy

There is always selinux if we want to add protection against arbitrary code running as root. Just because something operate as root does not mean it must have privileged access to everything.

I would be very happy if people who oppose nuclear would abstain from supporting the fossil fuel industry. When EU voted on green technology, one side voted for nuclear to be defined as green, while the other side voted for natural gas to b

I know one who did that, and from that I suspect very few will ever do it. They are a natural pesticide and the natural variation you get can be very unpleasant. But at least many birds and other animals will definitively not touch it twice
