Like trollied said, there are people who use bots to buy the latest shoes. You can read more about it if you search for "sneaker bots" in the archive.

The thing about David Hasselhoff and the Germans is that both are in on the joke, the rest of the world just doesn't get it.

That's the stab-in-the-back myth of nuclear energy. When Germany banned new nuclear power plants, they hadn't built one for 20 years.

I never understood the argument that people would delay their purchases. Most purchases can't wait, like you don't wait with your groceries when your fridge is empty. And even if the purchases can wait, would you wait 5 years for

The comment is a quintessential HN comment: all tone, little substance. It just claims that it's fair use because the AI learns things, which is not a criterion for fair use at all. People here just throw around fair use as a catch-a

Cliffs Notes adds commentary and critique for educational purposes, they are doing what fair use is intended for. Copilot does not. Also, it's pointless to say "But X does Y" in copyright discussions. You never know if they l

If you search the author's name, it seems like he predicts this every winter. Meanwhile the seasonal forecasts of reputable meteorologists at the Met Office, DWD, and MeteoSwiss (I didn't bother to check more) all predict a high c

America won the landgrab lottery and sits on plenty of oil and gas, which makes this kind of talk really cheap right now. Having a democratic neighbor like Canada with equal resources and 1/10th of the population also helps. Europe is

Italy has a high percentage of gas power plants and also relies heavily on imported electricity from France.

Europe has not banned Russian oil and gas and Russia did indeed turn off the tap.

No, the most expensive power plant defines the price.

by wewxjfq 4y ago
And spot market prices last December when all six plants were running at full power were as high as they are now. This has nothing to do with nuclear energy. It's demand pushing Germany to run more expensive power plants, which in turn

> France has almost no coal left And also has to keep it running now. > Germany is the one that's closing reactors Three reactors while France has half of theirs offline. The irony is that if Germany is going to extend their NPP,

If your country has sensible laws, you should have the right to withdraw any credit. In that case you should ignore PayPal and deal with OVH.

German Greens are against fossil fuels and against Russia. The only thing Russia funded was a smear campaign against the last Green chancellor candidate. Quality of these comments is why every nuclear energy thread needs to be flagged into

> German policies not only managed to destroy domestic nuclear, but also cripple the French. Why do I always see this shameless bullshitting in favor of nuclear energy?
170.
by wewxjfq 4y ago
Wrong. The German government has said that the plants would have to run at reduced capacity now to make it through winter with the current fuel, so they might as well run them at full capacity until their EOL. And pretending that there woul

Every year Germany has been a net electricity exporter. If other countries buy German electricity, it means they can't produce it cheaper. You know who is paying by far the highest spot prices in Europe causing prices to go up? France.

The EU publishes official numbers on where they get their uranium from, there is no need to make guesstimates, Russian uranium accounts for 20%. And this ignores that Russia has the largest uranium processing capabilities in the world, so d

Germany has high consumer electricity prices because of taxation. It's only slightly above EU average if you ignore taxes. And France, the nuclear energy utopia, is only slightly below EU average. And this ignores potential state subsi

Just some days ago Australia's National Science Agency published a report where they found that renewables with integration costs remain the cheapest option. Naturally that submission didn't do well on HN because it isn't nuc

Right, unlike wind and solar, the predicted cost of a nuclear SMR is not based on real-world data, you have to take the word of the vendor who is selling it to you.
