I would say in many places in Europe three phase power is normal inside the home. In fact electric stoves including induction usually rely on three phases. I'm currently building a house in Germany and 34 kW was the smallest option and

The article rests on the idea that the management knows what needs to get built, but my experience so far was that they are usually even worse at that.

Tesla FSD is useless though, because you need to constantly monitor the system for it to do something stupid (which it more or less regularly does). With a level 3 system like the one from mercedes you can check your phone or do anything el

All other fuels depend on hydrogen when producing from electricity and have a lower efficiency. Ammonia as a fuel is difficult to handle. Carbohydrates like natural gas or e-fuels depend on carbon capture which is still very expensive/

Isn't it way more likely that the technology will become more available and cheaper/for free? It doesn't really have a lock-in effect like a UI that you learn.

I don’t know switchgrass, but with miscanthus another perennial grass, at some point the nutrients mostly get taken back to the roots and what you harvest has a very low mineral content.

Siemens left nuclear behind mostly because they realised what a money-pit it is when they were partners on the EPR project. The decision to sell off happened before Fukushima and the sale happened 7 days after Fukushima. Turning on reserve

Are the externalities for wind and solar, the fastest growing electricity sources, significant when compared to other electricity sources?

Isn’t it the other way around in the US? Big companies have a big influence over the government.

It’s not irrational. Nuclear isn’t that compatible with renewables because it is bad at load following (technical and economically even worse). Further nuclear likely comes with catastrophes like Fukushima every few decades and the problem

It played a big roll in making photovoltaics economical and boosting wind. Today more energy is produced worldwide with renewables than coal or nuclear.

For solar and wind you need dispatchable generation to fill in the voids. Nuclear doesn’t fit that bill. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispatchable_generation

The greens are the easy scapegoat for conservatives in Germany for everything they don’t like. In this case the greens are supposedly responsible for a proliferation of coal by being anti-nuclear. The reality is that the greens fight hardes

Why should the safety of old reactors depend on new reactors being built? Base load plus peak load is just one way to run electricity production. There is also load following for instance. Germany replaced nuclear with renewables while also

by legulere 3y ago
Electricity use isn’t constant throughout the day or the week, so you also have to produce less. This is called load following and a good thing. Nuclear reactors are pretty bad at it, but if you have a lot of nuclear reactors like France do

Nuclear costs are predominantly fixed costs though. Reducing output makes electricity from nuclear even more expensive. On top of that it leads to faster deterioration.
