RTE is pushing a lot for renewable to be deployed as well as more nuclear. More renewable means more grid deployment, so more work for them. Don't shoot the messenger.

There is no such things as "100% renewable". The only countries that can do that already have and is because they have a lot of hydro-power or other controllable way of producing energy without emitting CO2 (Iceland, Finland...).

This has been debunked and proven in various papers and scenarios. The latest one in France is by RTE (our national grid management company). https://www.connaissancedesenergies.org/les-futurs-energetiq... They made 6 scena

Big +1 on that one. France goal to meet Paris agreement is actually to reduce by ~5% per year ALL energy consumption. -5% is roughly what we had with 3 lockdowns in 2020. So it's basically a COVID added to a COVID each year, for 30 yea

Sorry, I didn't put it in the example. You have all the numbers in real-time on the link. My point was more to show that even you have a huge quantity of renewable, that doesn't means that is the correct path to go CO2 wise. Excep

Tell that to Belgium. They are planning to close down all their nuclear plants right now. And replace them with gas.

When you're comparing cost, are you comparing the total system? This means backup + grid + management of intermittence? Because comparing the cost of a solar panel and a nuclear power-plant is like comparing apples and bananas if you a

Nuclear is slow and massive to build indeed :) However, the few last nuclear plants in Germany produced more power than the 250B€, 20 years planned, solar-panels German total farms in 2020. Those plants are planned to be closed down this ye

Ah yes, JSON :3 XMPP has an extension for that https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html

So the hype around Matrix is no better than XMPP then. Oh dear. Going to keep using the IETF XMPP Standard then.

Those issue applies as well to the Matrix network since the global architecture is similar :)

4000T of CO² out of the air every year. That's the emissions of 870 cars ( https://www.letemps.ch/economie/climeworks-lance-islande-plu... ). We just need to build a few millions of them and we will be good. And don

I expect Germany to actually lower their CO² emissions by switching from coal to gas in the upcoming decade. It will be a way to show that "plenty of renewable + no nuclear is the way to 0 CO² emission". Until they reach the lower

And that's exactly why you have several nuclear reactors in a plant and several turbines, and several power lines… Please be a bit serious about what you're saying, you don't have to actually turn of a plant when you need to

France has no plan on replacing them is mostly caused by political "no-decision". And indeed now we are reaching the point where we don't have the knowledge and industrial level to "jump back" into the flow. Germany
