I was curious to see how this number was derived and unfortunately the 20.41 euro/MWh “reducing effect” figure has absolutely no explanation as to how it was calculated. Given that AEE is a wind industry lobbying organization I suspect

Exactly. The fact that western governments have held that the corporations themselves have a free speech right to control your feed and speech but you do not have a free speech right to choose what the algorithm feeds you or what you say is

i totally agree, but the solution to corporate manipulation of our feed is to regulate social media so that the first amendment applies to the algorithm so the companies themselves dont have the power to push their own propaganda. People sh

There are two objectives that western regimes have for pushing these draconian measures: the first is to end the historically unprecedented era of free and anonymous political speech by ordinary people. The second is to prevent anti-imperia

Dollars per kilowatt would also make more sense but yes the number are off by about a factor of 1,000. If a 1 GW nuclear power plant cost only $200 per megawatt the entire plant would cost $200,000 which is… completely wrong

Good point. For example, the TVA and BPA are federal agencies that produce electricity. Clearly publicly owned utilities can be successful.

People who attack the “public education system” as an argument pretty universally agree with every destructive neoliberal policy the American government pushes on the West.

BPA is a federal agency. The Trump administration has been very supportive of zero carbon nuclear i believe they have promised $80 billion dollars to build new nuclear plants. Staff cuts dont mean they oppose using those energy sources.

This is why large social media platforms must be publicly owned and have the first amendment apply to their moderation and recommendation algorithms. Social media is the digital public square. The idea that a tiny number of executives or ad

At least in this case it's somewhat sensationalized because the US did this in the 1950’s and concluded that it was more economical and simpler to use mined Uranium instead of breeding with Thorium.
