Basically everything in comment is factually wrong so... Edit: Nuclear is more expensive than wind and solar, based on auction prices for projects since 2017 (?). Nuclear net capacity gains are miniscule for decades now, and will for decade

Just because SpaceX has rockets that go to space doesn't mean those rockets are ICBMs.

And the French are the only ones doing that. Also, back when France built its nuclear reactors, climate change and CO2 emissions were nothing people considered or where bothered with. Love it how the only feasible way forward from where w

There are detailed diagrams and formulas to calculate that. Engineering, not back of the envelope highschool physics. But guess what, people designing an building power plants know this. And whatever is built is the best compromise possible

If you really drill down the numbers, there are the cibstant 25% or so actively supporting it, regardless of country, with enough others tagging along passively to get the 25% dangerously close to actual power. Interesting times indeed.

Yeah, Trump wont drop out unless he dies. He desperately wants to stay out of prison. And people behind him want to stay in power. Fingers crossed we all dodge a bullet this year. Because if we end up with Presidente Marine Le-Pen, Presiden

The upcoming 2024 election cycle will be one for the history books, regardless of outcome. And that outcome can be incredibly bad. I said it before, if Trump gets a second term, he will have a third. And then democracy as we know it in the

Regarding 1): This can be avoided by having an agency asking for loans for you, as those requests are not directly linked to you as far as Schufa is concerned. Most of the time so, you can easily ignore Schufa in your dqy to day live. They

You do know that 6-7 GW per year are close to nothing compared to new wind and solar, not to mention other plants, China is installing? Nor is it in the general picture.

And now imagine how that stuff would work if certification requirements were lower. Regarding China, I thought the same thing. Until Ukraine. Because as it turned out, that being at constant, if low intensity, war for basically all the time

French reactors suffered a lack of suffciently cool water, what little water they had was too hot. Cooling towers numbers actually are sufficient.

We are building solar and wind aggressively. The problem with nuclear power is, nobody manages to build it aggressively or even at enough scale to make a meaningfull impact. What we should do, is keeping existing nuclear plants running as

You actually have no idea about electricity transmission. For long term problems, look no further than France. Short term, look up how electricity generation, transmission, markets and grid stability are linked. Wikipedia is a good start.

Yes, because load factor are long time averages while electricity generation and consumption are almost real time. Kind of like 4D checkers or something.

And now look at number of solar and wind installed vs. nuclear. Take net numbers, as most nuclear capacity replaces decommissioned reactors in countries without a nuclear exit strategy. I am too lazy too look up, and link, those publicly
