I would be nice if you didn't switch units between 25GW and 120 000 MW. We have 25GW/year vs. 120GW/? years. If you scroll to the bottom table, and sum a few numbers you get: 2020: 15MWe 2021: 7MWe 2022: 8MWe 2023

You have a point on many things, but I wouldn't agree with same rules for all. I think a lot of privilege mentality comes from cities and rules made for cars which don't transfer well to bicycles. Same maneuvers on bicycles vs. ca

Personally, I don't usually use the broswer UI, but I like it much more than Gmail - simple, easy to navigate, does what I need. Though I mostly go there only for settings and it's always been easy. I use IMAP and SMTP, and it jus

It's not really an applicable argument here. That's a general time/availability/word situation discrimination, which I think I would be ok with, to a limited degree. I was arguing against people based discrimination, wit

Sometimes price discrimination may be overall good, but it easily leads to price gouging and I believe there a laws against it, for a good reason. Should I pay 1.2x, 3x or 100x as much today, just because you know I desperately need the pro

Wood burning is a pollution problem only when burned incompletely i.e. improperly. Unfortunately, properly burning solid fuel for home heating is not typical.

AFAIK, during early development they are using a different, simpler welding process, including more welds and thicker off-the-shelf steel plates to compensate strength. The welding process probably isn't optimized or fully inspected an

So, instead of being locked in to Google you are locked in to Kopi. I guess forwarding is useful, if the domain holder's lock in terms are better, as you can pretty much match them with any mail service provider. If you use your own do

It's not just shifting costs. Maybe you trade say 1-3 units of time of caller for say 9x 1 units of time of attendees, for a 9/3 = 3x or more savings. Callers tend to have higher salary, but usually way less than the people count

Ramp up/down is not much of an issue, as long as you can predict it. Yes tracking solar looks more like a square wave, but only in an extent a duck looks more like a horse, than a worm.

Why not store hydrogen? Estimated round-trip efficiency is approximately 40%. Storage in underground caverns / mines. If most of the energy consumption is supplied directly, the storage part need not be overly efficient as long as it c
