A systemic problem in the study will not get better by running more data through it.

Because wind and solar are much more unreliable than nuclear so it needs storage to smooth out the demand.

You know Enron did actually trade energy right?

Don't big players in every industry lobby for more regulation? Does this mean that this is what is good for the markets they are dominant in? I fail to see this implication.

What are we currently doing with the waste from the hundreds of currently operational reactors? I'm assuming you mean price per kWh, compared with wind/solar and the necessary storage? What is the current price of renewables plus

If the lockdown itself had no economic cost or death toll, then one could perhaps claim this means it was a clear victory, but that is not something many believe.

Yes but we have no way of quantifying that similarity except the data itself. Better to look at the country's own performance in 2018 and not have to pretend to be able to correct for any of the other of a multitude of factors.

I seem to remember Sweden had similar excess mortality in 2018 and 2020. Comparing with the "peers" you see fit is just as much cherrypicking as comparing with other European countries. Comparing against the same country should co

This is an unavoidable problem of any observational study. Do we have any randomized controlled trials that support the current dogma of sun = bad?

You want to avoid sunburn, while getting enough sun every day, so this wouldn't work if I understand your suggestion correctly.

I had never heard of RT until now, apparently it's a Putin-controlled TV network. We're supposed to be "nice" with Russia? What a joke. Edit: for the record I don't like the government blocking anything, but trying

As a European I also view the US as increasingly corrupt and short sighted. There is a difference though, as GP pointed out. It's not true/false.

I've never seen or heard anyone complain about Russia banning American companies.

I’m sure their engagement metrics are amazing for that feature. “Hey, look, Bob used our new feature three times last night!”

Are other people allowed to disagree with that view?

Veganism is also a relatively new trend, the concept apparently didn’t exist until the 60s. I’m sure Beyond Meat etc would love for this to be “common sense” though

Similarly I’ve heard our fear of the sun can be traced back to a L’Oreal campaign in the 80s

I don’t think any nuclear supporter would call Chernobyl impossible. Rather inevitable. Same as what will happen if we don’t go nuclear.

Which doesn’t sound very dangerous to me

The correlation between the lifespan of a whole population and the dollar amounts spent by the government (which BTW probably shouldn't be compared across countries with different costs of living), is presumably pretty confounded.

Lead and mercury spewed out by coal plants ends up in the ocean and is also deadly for very long. I'd rather have poisonous metals in storage than floating around and accumulating in the food chain.

That last part sounds interesting. Can you elaborate?

Lying for financial gain can sometimes be fraud which is already illegal.

Check out the studies and lectures by Stephen Krashen if you want to hear from an academic that's been studying this for 40 years.

ALA is one type of Omega 3 fat. LA is Omega 6.

Slightly less damaging. High heat processed oils are probably not great in general.

Can we apply this argument to everything that's for sale? Seed oils are for sale too...

There are thousands of possible explanations. Indians may just tolerate the western lifestyle worse than westerners do. This study seems to look at a single chemical compound that is suspected of some connection with atherosclerosis, which

1. We have common genes going back to mammals who did experience torpor. 2. A study doesn't "own" their data and have exclusive right to interpret this data 3. Someone selling something that they think is beneficial to their
