We have nuclear power. We don’t need these absurdly expensive and complex solutions to harvest solar power or wind. We should use that money to build more nuclear reactors and develop new designs. It’s a proven, reliable and inexhaustible s

Russia doesn’t really care about Western money anymore. They can’t spend it due to the sanctions anyway.

Because a bald eagle getting killed by a wind turbine has the same impact on wildlife as a pigeon killed by a cat.

Yes, but electric cars need electricity which has to be generated from primary energy sources like coal, oil and uranium while combustion engine cars directly burn gasoline which is a primary energy source. Thus, when you are comparing the

You don’t get 100% renewable in Germany. The mix is 50% renewables, the rest is nuclear, coal and natural gas. With nuclear being phased out for ideological reasons and natural gas being scarse due to the war in Ukraine, Germany will soon b

Electrolysis is only one method to make hydrogen. Another one is using high-temperature reactors which have a much higher efficiency and don’t need as much energy. Research on the matter is being made in Japan, see: > https://

Yes, but it supports only a fraction of the architectures that binutils supports and I usually don’t recompile Chrome every day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yet, solar does not produce electricity reliably, needs additional electric backup power and uses large amounts of material and area for producing relatively small amounts of energy. Nuclear works everywhere, everytime. There is a reason th

Neither does nuclear. 80% of the population of the exclusion zone in Fukushima prefecture have already returned to their homes. People can even move back to Futaba, a town next to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear power pro

So, either that battery is very small or it needs a very powerful charging station to get a full charge of 100 kWh completed in such a short time. This means, if this was supposed to be commercialized, the country would need to install thou

No, it’s not. On the contrary, it proves that BEVs cannot replaces cars with combustion engines.
229.
by cbmuser 4y ago
That’s exactly the point. We already have solved that problem with technology and there is a reason why battery-powered cars never took off and never will despite already being around for more than a hundred years.
230.
by cbmuser 4y ago
And? The point is: I don’t need any sophisticated planning with an ICE car. New technologies are supposed to be better, not worse. BEVs are clearly a huge step backwards in usability.

by cbmuser 4y ago
The point is: You don’t need all this extensive and careful planning in a gasoline car. You just drive away and that’s it.

Why would I spent $50,000 on a car that has less usecases than a used gasline car for $500?

Fuel isn’t subsidized in Germany. They are planning to reduce energy taxes on fuel for June though August, after they imposed CO2 taxes starting in 2021. The German government tried to force people to use more renewable energies and electri

The difference is that you have to pay for it and money is usually a limiting factor. If you can afford buying a ticket to ride the bus for no reason every day, no one is going to stop you. However, most people won’t spend money on things t

Would be great if Solaris was eventually open-sources again and Illumos could merge all the improvements that were made over the years by Oracle.
