   It's planned to reopen in 2030, although parts are open now I believe. Personally I think a better solution would be a nature reserve. If I were choosing somewhere to live, I'd be more worried about the risk of another tsunami whi

   Germany currently generates 50TWh per year of solar On average that's 136GWh per day, lets assume that was spread so that it's say 36GWh per day in winter and far more in summer. It consumes 500TWh a year. Lets assume consumption

   Nuclear can't seem to be built anywhen, it seems to take decades and cost an order of magnitude more per kWh than offshore wind. It can't be built anywhere either, given the local protests (personally I'd rather have a nuclea

    You need a large amount of electricity for a short term event - say a festival or a building site. You wheel in a hydrogen generator, powered by hydrogen from renewable electrolysis, job done.

    If 1kWh of gas is 6 cents, and a 1kWh battery is $100 and lasts for 10,000 cycles, that puts the price of the battery at 1 cent/kWh plus the charging cost (2c/kWh for solar) In addition, for Europe, the key part of removing Russia

    My house uses about 500kWh/month, so a typical electric car parked on my driveway for 95% of the time can run it for several days. 20 million cars in the UK are parked on peoples drives overnight. Vast majority don't need a full c

    Nuclear sure, although I don't think they are practical any more given the cost and time to build vs renewables But Gas? Europe should be setting a plan to have no gas imports by the end of the decade, not shutting down nuclear power p

    Unsurprisingly I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of Polish copyright law, but in other countries the act of copying something into memory to use it (say copying a frame of video into a frame buffer on a DVD) is not a breach of cop

    You shifted the goal post, you claimed that it's nowhere near one MegaDeath (1 million deaths) despite it being fairly close, then you pivoted to "those aren't really covid deaths".

    If I buy the latest superman film on DVD and play it, technically I'm making a copy. I don't have to agree to a license to do this, as it wouldn't be a breach of copyright law to make a transitory copy myself for the purposes

    That's ridiculous. If the GPL weren't valid, then you have no right to copy the code under normal copyright law and the Berne Convention, and thus you're breaking the law. In the US I believe the charge tends to be somewhere
