Hey guys, I just wanted to say that it looks completely natural that a short sarcastic post about social media in general gets followed by two suppressing posts that very specifically defend Facebook, completely have each others backs and a

This is why social media ToS are typically concise and clear: "License agreement: We spy on you and sell your information to anyone that's interested, press accept to continue".

The words "Team", "Hero" and "Action" are conspicuously missing from the acronym MOBA. Given that the phrase "multi-player" traditionally didn't say anything about playing on the same side, I&#x2

The source is available without paying, you could have had asked. "I don't know where these figures come from" isn't a question, it's the start of a bad faith argument. As for your claim about the IEA, you're

Sure, but people writing articles on the subject should know better than to mix units like this.

I get the feeling there's a "snake eating its own tail" aspect here. Assuming carbon sequestration can be done at scale, it will likely require energy, maybe even a lot of energy. So where's this energy going to come f

What government would that be? Hydro has been a mainstay for 70+ years.

by tohmasu 5y ago
70-80% Hydro [~90% Hydro+Geothermal]. ~10% wind and almost no PV. It's important to keep in mind that wind and solar aren't really a part of this success story.

>Otoh sitting in the sun for a few hours to charge some battery via rays from the sun is itself free. Sounds wonderful, please show the math.

You have inadvertently highlighted how thin the line is between (some) business and fraud.

Imho it would be nice if this type of article didn't always assume that everyone knows that The One True Voltage™ for battery cells is (just about) 3.7V (in this case 3.65V according to the picture).

Also, here's a B.Sc. paper from my alma mater (English abstract in the paper) http://www.diva-portal.se/smash/get/diva2:1236618/FULLTEXT01... that puts the current all inclusive production cost of nuclea

>"0.01997 $/h * 24 * 0.266 * 365 * 20 = 930$" That's a calculation based on 1kW of installed capacity, which is about 3 of those 345W panels so the earning per panel over its lifetime (in sunny southern California btw

Please link. I've read about some far future contracts relying heavily on public subsidies but even those were at a higher price. At that price, earnings would (depending largely on geography) be something like 160-400 USD / 1.8m²

Just no. Reactor buildings take up a small fraction of the total site area. Constructing additional reactors on existing sites has been done for about as long as nuclear power has existed and multiple reactors coexist simultaneously at the

Also one batch of PV panels equivalent to a reactor cost 6x as much and with a lifetime of 20 years to the 60 for a nuclear reactor so you will need to replace these at least twice. All 32.5 Million of them.

>"So 1.5 GW of solar = 1.0 GW of nuclear." That's not how it works. PV capacity factor is 11-12% to the 90-95% of nuclear meaning you need to install about an order of magnitude more PV effect not 1.5x.

You're saying that a couple of 50 year old reactors when including a safety zone and adjusting for lifetime capacity outputs about twice the maximum power of commercial solar panels before adjusting for capacity factor. When you adjust

I believe The Settlers pioneered this mechanic in 1993. In the Settlers II at least, supply block wasn't a matter of constructing additional pylons but rather "someone has to carry feed to the pig farmer so that someone else can c
