The Audi e-tron GT charges at 270KW. Pretty close already. A standard petrol/gas pump pushes 22MW, or ~7MW equivalent when taking into account ICE efficiency.

I recently got back into photography after a decade break. Brought a nice mirrorless camera and a few good lenses (Sony A7iii, 24-105 f/4, 35mm f/1.8). I was truly blown away at the progress that has been made in handheld imaging.

I agree. The Moderna vaccine was created in a weekend, it took many months to run trials in a way that compiled with bioethicist diktat to prove efficacy . The limiting factor in the speed of the clinical trials is the rate at which people

How does this affect timekeeping? Normally, if there is a drop in grid frequency, a small increase will be planned later to maintain a long term average frequency of 50Hz so that clocks that keep time by grid frequency stay accurate [0]. Th

Why then, would they shut down a wind turbine rather than a gas turbine. There was no point in the last year where gas turbines were not supplying power. If what you say is true, then the grid is being run in a more carbon intensive way tha

But why the intense focus on Q? There is a massive amount of bullshit out there. Why is Q considered more harmful than say 9/11 or Flat Earth conspiracy theories, or any religious beliefs for that matter.

The walk away passive safety is a tradeoff with non-proliferation concerns. This design requires 20% enrichment, much higher than traditional reactors. This might be a smart tradeoff, but let's not pretend it's doesn't exist.
