You don't have to tell me I have been nuclear advocate for decades. I fucking disgusted by Switerland (where I live) making nuclear research illegal.

I actually think that if one country can seriously prove out modern GenIV reactors everybody will adopt them. There is a serious chance you can power most of the global population by building reactors and putting them on ships. Most people

As a huge Hayekian, its simply not. You have government guided utilities and fake markets with fake pricing plus lots of intensives. There are externalizes all over the place and there is strange mix between public and private that is hard

This just sounds so crazy complex. It requires completely changing existing infrastructure. A lot more energy moving around (and that is not efficient). If actually cared about efficiently transferring to fight climate change, and not build

The regulatory system makes them ESSENTALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Seriously, if people only knew how fucked up the regulatory system is. Unless you are NASA or DoD you can fuck right of with that stuff. The regulatory system is HARD LOCKED to one tec

Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program, not 20 years ago and not now. This has been proven again and again. Even the CIA confirmed as much and told this to Bush and every other president since. Iran has the best monitored nuclear indust

Many people live in the exclusion zone just fine. Their rates of cancer are not higher then anywhere else. Much of that area could be inhabited just fine. And again, that's like saying 'Early Zepplins destroyed to much stuff we ca

France didn't have these engineers either, and 10-20 years later they were finishing 5 plants a year. The US didn't have these people and build reactors incredibly fast as well. With modern reactors, and not gigantic PWR. You actu

France, Sweden, Switzerland and parts of Canada had essentially green electricity for decades. Nuclear did that for the most part. Germany has spent a long time, a huge amount of money and political will driving into renewables and they are

Solar is already cheaper. But from the theoretical energy to actual stuff you can put into your tank to drive your car is a long distance. And you need both solar and storage to approximate the reliability, and that is not even remotely sol

Maybe work together with system76, they have tons of experience with this and they have lots of software that you might be able to use that is already open source.

They already have an insurance in California. However in California some of the scoring system is not allowed, its essentially insurance version 1. The reason why it is not in other places is that insurance regulation is insane and totally

Haha, that amazing. It always seem that they just had ideas and when anybody asked on actually how anything would work it was always 'some experts will make some software'. I always asked where the open source was where that softw

Even a 3rd grader knows that 'growth' is relative to a base. So if you literally start from almost nothing in 1920 because of a civil war, of course you are gone have pretty good growth. That doesn't mean its comparable to na

I mostly disagree with this. That war was won or lost on land, not at sea. Beating a fleet that had just been at sea for month and was in a terrible strategic situation was not that relevant. It might have been politically relevant strategi

It was not inconclusive. It was the opposite. Britain had had the strategic upper hand and had to do nothing. The battle happened and Germany was not able to change the strategic situation.

> many cars in two weeks as Tesla does in a year. You should update your views then. Tesla is getting close to 1 million cars per year this year. VW is about 10 million per year. But comparing to VW is one thing, comparing it to BMW or G

How much did Tesla pay for it? Answer: nothing.

The numbers are even more extreme. Individual dealerships add a lot of additional local advertisement. They sponsor football teams, run local ads and so on. When new products are launched they spend money tell this to their local costumers.

They have social media presence, not a lot, they do more in China by far then Europe or the US. Their bloging is not very active. People working at Tesla almost never show up and do media. Its basically impossible to get anybody but Elon fo

Is it exploitation when those people choice themselves where to go AND the same people know they had other options. Its not like SpaceX couldn't get job anywhere else.

Well you have to get into planes or rockets, so that time is likely not that different. If its not worth it for rockets, its not worth it for supersonic flights either.

if it can't be made to work economically then there is no need for regulation to explicitly ban it. That is like saying 'nuclear fusion can't be made to work economically, so lets introduce regulation to ban it.' That is
