Those voyager plaques will last millions, even billions of years. The records might survive to the end of time if they are lucky and get flung into intergalactic space post andromeda collision.

This morning on U.K. breakfast radio they got a Nokia 7110 out from 25 years ago and sent sms and made a phone call, I was amazed it still worked. (Ok the battery was shagged and it shut down once when it started to make a call, but it even

So can’t abuse people’s data without their consent is being strangled? Is that like I’m strangled with my start up of “cheapdvds.com” because I can’t sell someone else’s data?

He actual regulation said that you had to classify them based on their characteristics. If I wanted a straight cucumber and I ordered one I would get one. If I was happy with a bendy one then I’d simply order an “any shaped” one. I don’t se

Those “cookie banners” are nonsense aimed at getting this outcome. This is a loss for European citizens and small businesses and a win for the trillion dollar ecosystem of data abuse.

27GW means 27 billion joules per second. 27GW per hour is a rate of acceleration of energy use.

So if wind produced 35gw and nuclear 20 and demand is 30GW, you just say “well nuclear is the base load and wind needs to be curtailed” What about when nuclear produces 20GW and wind 5 and demand is 35gw Of nuclear costs the same as wind th

Our demand varies from 25 to 45GW Saying “nuclear can handle the easy part” doesn’t help. You still need 20GW of extra capacity to cope. It’s like saying “wind can handle the bulk of the capacity you just need to top up the rest”.

Continue generation is great if you have continues demand. The U.K. does not have that (especially if you include heating and travel which is currently mainly provided by gas)

What good is a “base load” when the problem is peak demand. You’re saying nuclear gets to take the easy stuff and another industry can worry about peaker plants. I suspect you need far ledd in peaker capacity - both GW and GWh - with a 100%

by hdgvhicv 1y ago
Depends on over provision then. If lowest demand in the grid is 20GW, average 30GW highest demand is 50GW then you need to be able to generate 50GW, despite nuclear costs only being specced assuming they can always find 20GW of customers. I

Why not just build the wind/solar/storage to cover it all. If that’s too expensive why not just build enough nuclear to cover it all.

by hdgvhicv 1y ago
The question is what’s better value for money, wind and solar (potentially with storage when required), or nuclear.
