The minister of the economy (greens) was the one who had them running longer than planned due to the Ukraine War [0], they were also the ones commisioning a study from the energy companies to see if they could extend their operations for ye

At night most people sleep so you don't need as much bread, and in case you do get hungry you can just eat the other brand that costs 1$. The "Dunkelflaute" is extremely rare [0]. 0: https://de.wikipedia.org/w

The current _green_ minister of the economy actually had them running longer than the previous conservative government had planned them to, due to the russian gas crisis. Due to them being phased out there are essentially no spare parts, pe

It seems that you haven't checked out the reference, because during the same time renewables became 2x cheaper than Nuclear at it's best, and 4x cheaper than Nuclear is right now. If you still buy the same brand of 4$ bread made f

I'll never understand how people can have easy access to the latest price metrics [0], which clearly shows that renewables are miles ahead of nuclear, and still largue against them. 20 billion Euros would only give you a SINGLE nuclear

I'm not sure if this should be flagged because it is obviously a free energy scam. Or if it's relevant to hn, BECAUSE it's an obvious scam with educational (and entertainment) value to enterpreneurial folks.

Teenage Engineerings design language is so unique, that it is deeply intertwined with their brand. That is a pretty rare thing, only Apple and (Rams) Braun come to mind, and I think TE is the most extreme of them. Because their design langu

Heck. I'd leave the EU too if this passes. No clue where to go though.

While I'm a huge fan of immutable persistent datastructures, I don't think that they are a neccesity. And linked lists with reference counting are really easy to do, and don't have any leaks if you don't allow cons cell

Unlike LLVM, control flow is actually structured, no arbitrary jumps, functions, tables, real harvard separation of code and data. The restriction to only number types, is more a byproduct of trying to keep the 1.0 spec as mvp as possible,

Thank you for your insights, again very cool project!

Very cute project! I personally wouldn't call anything Rust based "simple" (I'm not trying to hate on Rust, it's my daily driver.), so I have to ask: Wouldn't be the simplest possible wasm language, a small mac

My apologies! It's even more emberrasing given the fact that I looked up the website, knowing that I _always_ swap them after having written too many `tx-listen` in my career. They expanded their work to wider relations and made the wh

It's a really interesting open problem to get the cost of these down so that they can be used to heuristically select the variable order for worst case optimal joins during evaluation. It's somewhere on the back of my todo list, a

Yeah its used for greenwashing. But you wanted a 100% study and I provided one. Our point is that nuclear is used exactly for the same purpose: "We don't need to invest into renewables, because fusion and nuclear is gonna magicall

Your pro-nuclear propaganda is just anti-renewable propaganda in a trench-coat. Should germany do more? Yes! Is it great that france spend the last 70 years building 0-CO2 emmision power plants? Yes! Should germany spend its money on the ch

The target I set in my example was 100% Renewables. No carbon is not enough for zero carbon? Btw the EU wants 80% renewables by 2050, that includes coal guzzlers like poland. Germany wants 100% renewables by 2035. So you're barking at

He said without providing any backing. But sure let's take a paper that estimated costs for the 100% renewable case: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac4dc8#... They estimate €80 per

Yeah but you can do the calculations yourself. I'm gonna use the most expensive storage technology I know (lithium-ion) and forego cheaper alternatives like pumped hydro just to make a point. I'm gonna use data from lazard, becaus

I own a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro. And I only use the latter for CAD work (shapr3d), even though I prefer the form factor a lot over my macbook, simply because iPadOs is useless for development.

You say that the cost of renevables and energy storage combined don't include the cost associated with storing the energy? Wild take.
206.
by j-pb 2y ago
This is the energy generated. Every euro spend on nuclear is a euro not spend on something that's giving you 2-3x as much energy generated. Rewewables have been called "infeasible" at 5%, at 25% at 50%, now we're at 60%.

The price for solar/wind + energy storage is still cheaper than nuclear tho.
