Personally I don’t carry my GC, because I’m far more likely to lose it than for anyone to ever ask for it. And it’s kind of a nightmare to replace, takes awhile and you can’t travel. To put it another way, the $100 fine is less expensive to

Hrm? Heat pumps are multiples more efficient than gas.

probably. I think the US aggregators force the hotels to not undercut them, via contract. probably a different setup elsewhere.

where do you follow him? i just poked around in X & youtube but all his stuff there seems ~a year old.

why? much more expensive, much slower. This reflexive "nukes are the only way" meme amongst technical folk really has gotta die.

you're just wrong. they already are cheap enough, its already happening. PV+battery is now cheaper than new gas & coal. Very soon to come, existing gas.

you may feel that, but its not going to happen. nukes are too expensive, and thus the energy they produce is too expensive.

solar + storage for a full day cycle is now cheaper than new gas. And way cheaper than nuclear. Keep up! https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/solar-electricity-e...

untrue. Solar + 24hr storage is now (just) cheaper than new gas. https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/solar-electricity-e...

in what, another decade or more before they actually get made at scale? they'll be irrelevant by then outside of niche applications.

why does that matter anymore? they are cheaper now without incentives, so whether they were subsidized in the past doesnt really matter right?

they're building that coal in the role of gas peaker plants - backup power. It will probably never be used at any significant % of capacity, as the solar and battery revolution continues to astound in its speed.

This is a common online trope, but has almost never been true for me when I’ve checked. (US domestic ~4 star hotels) Direct is more or at least equal to the aggregator prices.

Honestly I think it’s neither, it’s just stupidity, incompetence and spite.

So short sighted and self destructive. The US is actively sabotaging its future in innovation, manufacturing and energy. For what? To make its car industry even less competitive? The world is moving on with or without the US, as you say.

In my experience on the hiring side, expiration dates exist mostly to prevent candidates stacking offers.

1987 is not a valid comparison for many reasons. Pick modern premium sedans (eg bmw) as a comparison and you’ll see it isn’t that different.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, and I do appreciate going against the grain, but having worked in an “hours” environment and a “minutes” environment I couldn’t disagree more. The minutes job is so much more pleasant to work with

You know why. It has nothing to do with Israel, that’s just a convenient test cause to start the illegal overreach. Other target populations are next, and soon enough anyone that objects to the regime.

to add, given the governing structure in china, the coal plants don't have to make economic sense. one-party politics would thus prefer to overbuild as a hedge against the population getting mad at them.
