Sure - all I'm saying is that they still have a whole lot of building to do, that's all. Reading the headlines it's sometimes easy to think that they're pretty much already there while the current production mix is not a

Actually, what allows for "94% carbon free" is the production mix. In our case that would be nuclear at 42% share, hydro 19%, wind 18%, bio 13% - leaving only single digit percentage to coal, gas and oil.

China still generates approximately two thirds of it's electricity by burning fossil fuels so it still has a plenty of catching up to do. For example in my country power generation is already 94% carbon free.

You mean M.2 SATA storage is available cheaper than M.2 NVMe where you live? Over here there are very few options in M.2 SATA form factor and the prices are almost double that of M.2 NVMe, which is really not that suprising given the obviou

Instead of going all-in on Android, you get to choose the apps that are most important to you and otherwise minimize your exposure to the privacy-grab. For example, if you'd really prefer to avoid using Android but do want mobile bank

I'm daily driving a Sony Xperia 10 III with SailfishOS. It works as a phone, has a small selection of native apps available and runs many Android apps using LXC based solution called Android AppSupport. It's really not bad at all.

There are two fixed fees households pay, an energy tax of 0,02253€/kWh and a security of supply fee (0,013 euro cents per kWh). These are not affected by fluctuations in the market prices of electricity.

My current transfer fee is 0,03€/kWh. There is also the electricity tax (0,028€/kWh) and energy sales commission (0,004€/kWh). With hourly energy rate of -0,50€/kWh any usage will lower my energy bill for the current mon

Most Finnish households have a contract which limits the effect of this pricing anomaly (fixed price contracts are quite popular as people see the hourly market rate as risky and unpredictable). However, I do have a hourly market rate based

According to Finnish Energy Authority (energiavirasto.fi), at the end of 2022 only 13,7% of customers had a contract where pricing is tied to the hourly market rate. It is much more common to have either a fixed price contract (usually for

FWIW, ThinkPads support setting custom battery charge thresholds, which lowers the risk in this scenario. It also prolongs the battery life as the battery is not kept charged at 100% for extended periods of time.

When you're not building on a new design at a scale never done before, it is a very different story from the case of OL3. Just take a look at how the French built their currently serving reactors in the 1970s - more than 30 units with

Isn't it more like 10,000,000 kWh, i.e. 10000 MWh? New nuclear units go up to 1600 MW of output, so it's less than 10 hours of output from a single reactor.

60% recycling rate for PET bottles sounds very low compared to the 90% in Finland [1]. The deposit we have on plastic bottles ranges from 0.10€ to 0.40€ depending on the bottle size (the most common 0.5 ltr bottle has a deposit of 0.20€).
