In Phoenix, the waymo drive on the freeway around the city, and given the number of crashes I see in that city I have few doubt that Waymo cars are safer.

Why would they have to roam? In a country like Switzerland where public transportation is ubiquitous in a lot of cases buses cannot be the answer because density or usage (for instance during the night) is too low. On demand bus are costly

visiting an embassy is not mandatory to get a lot of visa (even a Chinese one) most of the time you just ship your passport with a form that has less invasive question than an ESTA. Nobody but the US require you to give the handle of all yo

What is the real difference between the 2? One is manual while the other one is highly automated? Given the number of question on an ESTA application, visa to other countries are a piece of cake (and I don’t even talk about visa on arrival)

The largest US nuclear plant is Palo Verde just west of Phoenix were temperature can get crazy hot and nowhere near a body of water. It’s running with waste water of the city. So I’m pretty sure in a country way more humid like France you c

Raw energy generation is the bad number if you don’t take into account capacity factor. To replace 1MW of nuclear generation with a capacity factor of 0.9 you need almost 5MW of wind at 0.2. The 21 GW of nuclear energy of 2009 have barely b

There is no saving (or marginally) it’s just heavy industries and energy consuming process leaving Germany (BASF for instance). Overall just a displacement of the problem. We don’t care about GDP, what matters is global CO2 emission. In 202

Germany didn't replace nuclear energy at all. Germany is producing less electricity than when nuclear reactors were running.

The total amount of electricity generation is decreasing which is a sign that energy transition is not taking place in Germany (it's just displacement). In 2019 the first half of year Germany produced 264000GWh vs 224000GWh in 2023. In

A TGV Duplex carries 510 passengers at 300km/h. For instance the TGV line going to south east France carries 75000 passengers per day with a theoretical capacity at 350000 passengers per day. I let you convert that into airplanes ;)
