Firstly, you introduced the idea of difference of priority to respond to the misinformation bit. I still disagree with that: the fact that for a landscaper the gasoline is better does not imply that the landscaper cannot lie. For example, a

I don't think it is correct to say "it is with a disclaimer because it is not progressive US culture". What about: "it is with a disclaimer because it is aligned with common misinformation pushed by biased people",

But what happens when you ask to any unbiased energy experts? I think it is just a factual reality that finding arguments to pretend that fossil fuels are superior to renewable is just more difficult, simply because fossil fuels are indeed

Yes, I believe it's the case. The French nuclear plants can do some load following. But they are not doing it, because it's more inefficient for a nuclear power plants, and as the nuclear is anyway not 100% of the mix, the load fo

Yes. It's basically demand response based on turning on and off factories.

Well, 3 seconds if you turn everything off, but it is not what we are talking about here, especially if the question is peak shifting. The majority of peak shifting is done at local level, with solution like, for example, domestic wall batt

I thought French nuclear were only doing base load, the load following part being done by other sources. I believe the French facilities have the capacity of doing load following, but are not doing it because it is less efficient (and there

Sure, but 1) week storage and 3-6 months storage are extreme events, similar in probability as overlapping technical shutdowns in nuclear facilities. In practice, with interconnection, it is even arguable that such long term storage are eve

Well, you cannot really export it if no one around needs it because they also are not in a peak. If they rely on importing electricity when in non-peak time, what do they do in peak time? By construction, the non-peak time is the worse time

I think it's incorrect to say that nuclear does not require energy storage. The energy demand is not flat, it has peaks. If you don't flatten these peaks with storage, you need to build a production system that should be able to g

Judging what is "worse" is tricky. Of course, if the alternative is proposing policies that don't fit with your ideology, you are going to judge them badly ("how can they be good politicians, they haven't even under

I don't think people who say "UK inflation would have been better in the EU" are basing that on "in UK, it was 10.7% and in EU it was 10.1%", but rather on "since Brexit, wealth generated by export has dropped,

That's the problem with thread discussion. The comment you are answering to is answering to a comment that says that they are marginalized. If you are now reacting to this comment by changing the context, you are the one moving the goa

That does not mean they are marginalized. For every communities, you will find neighbors quarrels, and the examples you show are mainly that (for the ones I was able to access): someone wants X, someone wants Y, hence quarrels. It would hav

So your conclusion should be: peer-reviewing is working, but some people are not using it right. You then need to assess exactly what is this percentage of still being published despite having things wrong in it. If this percentage is small

But by your logic, it would mean that being elected gives you immunity of doing whatever you want and nobody cannot do anything against that without being accused of "marginalizing". That's a "free out of jail" card

Wow, that's probably the worst response you could have made. First, the CERN example was a counter-example. If you say "A implies B" and that someone shows an example where A does not imply B, it does not matter if this is ju

Well, the centuries of progress you are referring to are sometimes happening in countries that, at the time, were applying a anti-intolerance stance. Laws again libel, for example, exist for centuries in countries where progress grew someti
