Thanks for sharing that! It is really interesting to see strategies from "shutting down all nuclear and building ~ 350 GW of solar and wind and 26 GW of storage" to "still build a lot of renewables but also 27 GW of new nucle

Hopefully they reevaluate that, since they already have coal shortages for the coal plants they already have.

It's the other way around. Renewables without storage (which we don't have) need fossil fuels around, in the forms of gas peakers and whatnot. Pushing against nuclear is just strategy from big oil and coal and gas to stay relevant

Fun fact, in Matrix (if that's what you're referring to) people were originally enslaved by the machines to provide compute capacity of their brains. The battery part came later, when someone (studio executives?) jumped in, and sa

It also puts downward pressure on landlords, since as they increase the rent, there's less and less people who can be tenants. Sadly it might not help around here, because right now, it is very profitable to just buy property and leave

I'd love to buy it for the better screen, but since it is my personal laptop and I don't need the performance, I don't know if I can justify the cost :/

Because if you get needlessly infected, you are almost sure to infect others. You choices impact other people. Framing it as a personal choice is selfish and disingenuous. It is no more personal choice than dumping toxic waste into a river

The natural antibodies work well _if you get them_. That need you to be infected badly enough your body created the long-term ones (so not complete asymptomatic), and also not badly enough you die or get long covid (which by the way some me

That makes no sense logistically - the test to accurately measure that the people indeed have the antibodies in sufficient strength is more expensive than the vaccine - and now you have to distribute both instead of just one. It's not

Yeah, it is interesting how the bar is so high for nuclear, yet for renewables everyone counts on magical energy storage that makes their intermittency practical just appearing out of nowhere.

Solar makes up 2 % or world electricity. Wind 5 %. Coal and natural gas together make up 61 %. Where is this solar capacity? Where is this available low cost renewable energy? We are decades away from making the renewables our main electric

by glogla 5y ago
That makes this sound more like a corporate win - 15 % is already the lowest one, and this agreement can be used as a way to wiggle out from something more useful, like revenue tax or VAT.

Energy efficiency is a major concern when you need literally three times the energy to achieve the same goal. Clen energy is already scarce, only places with a lot of nuclear have a semblance of it. BEV would already increase electricity de
