Or do your homework and find that it’s actually far worse than pro-nuclear propagandists constantly claim. Huge increases in rates of multiple forms of cancer near nuclear sites, while the rest of the country is seeing decreases - but not a

A peristaltic pump is cheaper than the PH probe.

Then why patent it instead of publishing, making yourself a well known leading expert instead of setting a landmine for the next person who does this particular task?

I'm using "Aquarium Hydroponic PH Electrode Probe/Liquid PH Value Detection Sensor" on ebay for $36 with probe. It even came with example code. I'm using it for a basic application and only roughly calibrated it wit

Looks like the same stuff on Adafruit or ebay but more expensive.

> compared to coal or, in fact, any other type of power generating plant so nuclear creates less nuclear waste than PV, wind, or geothermal?

In that case, why would the "unprecedentedly brilliant engineer-ceo" Musk not develop battery recycling technology as a division within Tesla, solely reaping the rewards of cheaper battery packs?

So certainly all the non US/EU countries with less strict regulations should have electricity "too cheap to meter" through nuclear, right? since there's no technical challenges here apparently.

Wow its so easy, can't believe all those idiots trying to build nuclear plants the past few decades have never though to simply apply "better tech". Thanks hacker news/silicon valley!

This has been/is implemented in various parts of the US, but deregulation can go bothways and consumers aren't always happy. When a winter cold snap hits the northeast and energy demand goes up, the market responds as expected. Of

You don't think with all of today's technology there could be a solution where the driver sets charging thresholds and time windows reflecting their needs?

In that case energy density would be reflected in the cost. That is why cost is often used to compare energy technologies, and not cherry picking a random metric which favors one particular technology.

Its an observation that comparing vastly different technologies using just a single metric produces mostly misleading asinine statements that aren't sufficient to influence any meaningful policy or engineering decisions without additio

They also have orders of magnitude (10^3 - 10^4) more charge/discharge cycles than uranium.
