Your numbers are off. Korea + China ~ 2500 $/kw, USA ~ 6-9000 $/kw. ` GW ~ $2.5B. A large portion of that is dealing with archaic regulations and very long timelines. Important to have regulations that are functional protect t

The differences between soviet state and Us market based capitalism are completely different. Chernobyl didn't fail because of a simple case of human greed and short sightedness. You really haven't read the details of how Cherno

Best of luck JPow - that was a perfect statement from the Fed. It seems like theres a bit of an inflection point right now in the US. I wonder how much entropy the system can handle it has to be near a breaking point.

One of the major reasons thats we have a climate crisis is that we knee capped Nuclear in the 80s and prevent new reactors and new technology development for 40 years. That left the only providers able to fill the gap were fossil based (oi

Ill wager a lot of deaths are accidental electrocutions from faulty wires.

Again I don't know why people do this framing that its either renewables or nuclear. We can and should develop and have both - they provide different energy products to the grid. Solar and storage ARE NOT viable at scale for 99.99% up

Maybe but the underlying tech still needs to perform which, as i understand it from public docs, has not. No amount of clear runway will make up for an airplane not being able to take flight.

I will be very surprised if Oklo makes it. Insiders have been selling a fair bit over the last couple years because my speculative guess is they know that they cant possible meet the expectations in the market for their product. They essen

I personally find highly hypothetical situations impossible to guarantee but I'm glad you have such a high degree of self certainty for a plausible scenario you have decided to give certain results to. You should really consider educat

Are you sure about that? I think it caught most people by surprise - and i assume the policymakers as well.

Again they aren't the same product. Everyone always thinks power is only about $/kwh especially in hackernews. That is a strong proponent of the product but most definitely not all of it. Solar just does not work for large scal

Depends if they start seeding clouds and doing geo engineering. Nuclear and solar are different energy products that are complementary. This solar vs nuclear narrative is basic and anti progress. For example china invested in solar so they

Chernobyl and Fukushima were different accidents and causes. Chernobyl was a systemic failure of the soviet system. Fukushima was a wild edge case that an earthquake and tsunami drained the coolant.

Alternatively a more optimistic and high potential future is more plentiful and cheaper more reliable power and transmission is a huge win for society. So Id say its a perspective issue.

Solar and Nuclear energy are different energy products. China is also bringing on an insane amount of nuclear energy.

Theres too much money, time and infrastructure committed for this to be anything but successful. Its tougher than a space race or the nuclear bomb race because there are fewer hard tangibles as evidence of success.

Great visualization. IMO 2020 regulation unintentionally contributed to global warming while reducing air pollution. This rule drastically cut the amount of sulfur permitted in ship fuel, which improved public health but reduced the reflect

The article hits on something that I believe everyone is at least aware of. Id argue the next generation is best suited for not having this issue that the current generation does have as they at least seem to think about everything and are

Have they started doing that? I haven't seen the backpack mounted version in use in the wild. I haven't seen any electric blowers get to the same capability in the contractor market segment. Prosumer -- for sure no problems ther

The claim is that website was providing back information for about 3-4 years because they didn't like Tesla. That invalidates them as a source because they have a bias against that company. Not as you say "musk is really a victi

FALSE the claim is that website was anti Tesla while Tesla was trying to build out the electric car market up until about 2018. Which is the funniest thing given that they are a supposedly pro electric vehicles website per name. They switc

Actually that is incorrect - they were historically very against Tesla as a company until 2015-2018 being hugely skeptical of Tesla.

Yeah but without that your just making stuff up and nobody wants that except you.

Peak approval for Trudeau was over 64% - Carney hasn't hit that high water mark yet. Now peak to trough - I think Trudeau probably had the biggest fall.

I agree - I noticed this as well. Also feels like it such an upsetting story that someone was motivated to really to the bottom of it. They also probably knew that if the story got traction people would be running down there own checks. I
