This claim of contradiction has never worked for me. Let say person A wants everyone to be rich. Person B plots a plan to make themself rich and everyone else poorer. One can make an argument that any action by A is now a contradiction. If

If you want to save the rain forest you got to make saving the rain forest more profitable than cutting it down. If its not beef, it will be the next most profitable thing which generally is corn for ethanol production, something that alrea

You can get it to generate a 3-page markdown file for any random code, or its own code it just generated. If requested it will produce a seemingly plausible looking review with recommendations and possible issues. How impressed someone get

Wires and HVDC transmissions are nice, but they have a fairly large downside. They are major infrastructure projects that cost a lot of money and they don't produce any energy. Adding that cost to the solar panels makes them significan

Seem now like both are also saying that the other side has now broken the ceasefire. Two different ceasefires are not a very stable ground.

Definitively if they agreed to it as part of the ceasefire. What did each part actually agree to when they agreed to a ceasefire? There doesn't seem to be much concrete information about that part.

Does this mean ceasefire is now broken? The 10 point plan was to be discussed later in the peace talks, but what was the exact conditions that predicated the ceasefire?

The average electricity price for German households is approximately 32.5 to 34 cents per kWh. We are not doing an apple to apple comparison if we are not actually looking at what people are paying. The cost of energy is to have the a stabl

Long distance transmission is part of the cost of production when the location of the production is non-local to the consumption. With-holding permits is stupid, as are bans on new deployments, but neither are subsidies. You can cut subsidi

The extensive EV car subsidies has really got people to buy EV. With 98.3% of all new cars sold, it is amazing what subsidies that accounts for more than 25% of the value of a new car does to encourage people to buy electric. In Sweden, it

It is absolutely sane and perfectly reasonable. The climate highly support it, you are already used to a grid that in some cases are not available 24/7, and the major energy consumptions are AC and fans which correlate with production.

How are the fixed costs in this? Here in Sweden I have seen a strong trend that as the grid has become more variable and connected to the European grid, a larger portion of the bill becomes fixed. For most part of the year, the fixed costs
