They are building massive pumped hydro storage too. A lot of closed-loop PHS is being built by China. Closed loop PHS doesn't have same ecological issues as traditional dams, but is not as trendy as batteries and has almost same politi

India was under nuclear sanctions until recently and had to build and design everything from scratch. Every component is made in India for PHWR which adds a lot of cost, due to r&d and economies of scale. Also, India is still not a memb

Can anyone compare this to new EPR nuclear plant being built in France, that project also ballooned to almost twice the estimated price and a decade late. Do they use cost+profit accounting too?

I used to hold the same opinion that reducing carbon without going nuclear wasn't possible. But, with increasing cost of nuclear power US, EU not categorising nuclear as green and not funding it, India seeing huge delay in their constr

There are small phones with decent battery performance in Android too. Zenfone 8 from last year is an example. But new small phones is a dying breed going forward with big players not interested in making them at all anymore. Only less know

Last time I checked, there was a limit of 1MB or so for deployment wasm in cloudfare workers. Is that limit raised? Go binaries easily run on tens of MB with the default http library.

China already did that decades ago. They initially choose MIPS with their LoongSon processors in 2000s, and pivoted to arm processors with the mobile chips wave later with Allwinner and Unisoc. They had supercomputers running with their own

Can this benchmark be written using sync.Pool mentioned in the article? If so, then that should be accepted since sync.Pool comes in stdlib.

Gas cars lose energy to heat loss and timing/efficiency of combustion cycle, that due to air drag. So even though you could gain little more mileage driving at 65mph, the relative difference is less compared to electric cars.

It's not just g forces. It's combination of g forces and atmosphere drag. Drag forces during launch could be bigger issue.

Solar is only cheap when sun is shining bright. Just batteries needed for cloudy days or nights is multiple times more expensive than burning coal. solar+storage might become cheaper than coal by the end of this decade.

In an ideal world, one would expect nuclear tech or financing be addressed in global forums, like say cop26. But, from leaked reports, India was complaining that the cop report is demonizing nuclear and wants nuclear included in the solutio

Solar is cheaper than coal only when sun shines brightest in the noon, while the peak demand is generally around sunset. Solar energy generation is anywhere from 30-50% of nameplate capacity depending on location. This necessitates, additio

If you construct reactors in fleet mode, a few will come online every year, first reactor comes online. Like China and India are doing. Bigger problem is nuclear fear in west and unavailability of finance in the rest. India could not avail

Media and threshold of evidence? You need suspension of belief if you even want to consider it for a moment. The case of 5g causing corona being covered recently, without instant ban like lableak theory, is a case in point.

10^10 Joules converted to TNT directly is 2 ton TNT. All the energy should be released at the time of impact in a short period of time. Even assuming >50% energy loss due to atmospheric interference, 1ton TNT should be left.
