IIRC correctly we'd need to overprovision by more than 100%, and huge storage too. Is it less expensive then? Also what has the least impact on the environment? On space and material requirements given the required massive overall of t

The question is: given that we MUST be reducing our CO2 output extremely quickly (5% a year, equivalent to an additional COVID19 crisis every year), what are the chances for your magical cheap hydrolyzers to 1° be developed 2° be deployed a

It's difficult to give advice in that matter without first hearing you giving a try at improvisation to check where you're starting from. I've started learning jazz at 16 (50 now) and you never cease to learn (obviously), but

One thing that the media never talks about is their own role in the success of conspiracy theories. By wanting to be "neutral" they love often presenting "both sides" instead of just seeking to present the truth. So they

Nuclear energy kills about zero person per annum. Coal itself kills at least 50000 Europeans every year. Even taking into account the worst case scenarios such as Chernobyl, coal (and fossil fuels generally) is several orders of magnitudes

No, certainly not. However there's an interesting paper that shows that we're nearing peak fossil fuels probably much faster (in particular for coal) than most seem to anticipate, due to limits in EROEI. See https://www

See this graph: https://i.redd.it/943wmdyx3zr71.png If you include fuels in the picture, resources for gas and coal fired plants are of course dwarfed by fuel consumption; but NOT nuclear. In a resource-constrained environm

In my own interpretation, Homer refers to the colour of red wine as you can see in a black earthenware cup of the sort that was common in ancient Greece, or a bronze crater, both very dark, and actually not so different from the colour of s

The main problem with the BBC is that too much of its nice content isn't available out of the UK. I see no reason why it couldn't be watched all around the world.
