All things considered, Nepalese meat is propably saver than industrial one. After all, the remains seen on the sreetside are from the same day, meaning whatever meat you buy was still alive in the morning.

I know some small artists who think the same. And rightly so, because they earn their living that way. And obviously, those artists expect royalties as long as they have the rights, and as long as those rights are used by third parties.

The Tonkin Incident. Well, Wikipedia has a decent enough write up of the whole Vietnam War, including the French one, including Tonkin. The problem is less that those crucial facts are not know, but rather that they get ignored in public di

All ears? Really? Ok, the solution lies in the grid and demand flexibility, combined storage, mainly batteries, and keeping existing NPPs running as long as possible to allow the above to catch up. Feel free to google all of that, because I

There was no real build out since the, what, 80s? And no projection I have found hinted at one in the future. If those policy changes are supossed to any effect by 2035, those new NPPs would have to be at least in planning stage by now, whi

A lot, but none you ever wanted to listen to so far. Fact is, even China isn't massivley investing in NPPs, but rather wind and solar. I'll risk a guess and say that they have a plan to cope with a grid in a highly industrialized

Let's see then: PV load factor for utility scale solar was 16%. China installed 230 GW, Europe 75 GW and the US 40 GW -> 55 GW incl. load factor and excluding the rest of the world Wind: Let's use 40% as a load factor, which se

Glad we agree that so far there was no nuclear build out, anywhere! Edit: COP28 agreed on triplong renewable capacity to 11 TW by 2030. If we consider pledges for future NPPs, I think it is just fair to do the same when it comes to renewabl
