I think your down votes are because people are tired of rebutting the same old anti-nuclear arguments. "Civilizationally" The evidence is nuclear has remained safer than alternatives well over half a century even when we have fai

Buffet also said, "I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate.” … “For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build

This map makes it seems hysterical to me that people think it's being done as espionage and is a national security issue. The land is wide open and easily observed. In any actual conflict anyone operating in that area could easily be s

This depends on your circumstance and its important to be a bit more cautious if you received a large lump sum (e.g. from a disability settlement) that you expect to need or live off. Yes the average person randomly assigned a lump sum on a

Does anyone know of a good tool for modeling wind potential? For example, PVWatts [1] makes it very easy to get solar potential for a site (at hourly granularity). But having trouble finding something similar for wind. Ideally want somethin

I worry the impact this will have long term. Both economically as a lot are taken out of the workforce or remain but with less function. And socially as we have this bigger pool of people we need to care for (and likely fail to care for). I

For others, not you because you're a troll, I will clarify: Glory to Ukraine is a simple formulation of words that cannot be owned by any particular group, and to suggest its a Nazi phrase is russian propaganda. The phrase first came t

You are confused. The article talks about reactor construction time in countries. E.g. Hinkley Point C is being built in the UK, that means it gets recorded in data about construction in the UK, even though it is designed by a French comp

Wind and solar also have many years (and decades) of planning involved. And many also fail to get past the planning phase. > However, in the US, we simply don't have the political will to build them. Fair enough, though this article

Vogtle is an outlier in most regards. A tech revolution isn’t really needed, the tech works fine. Simplifications of existing tech like the BWRX-300 seem to be gaining a lot of traction (in theory should be more expensive per watt, but can

I’m of two minds about that. I agree this is a guy with a history of peddling conspiracies and dictators. Not someone I want in a debate that should be driven by facts and reason. But I realized, in my experience there is a large overlap be
