There is lots of potential, but as we see in Germany, a glass ceiling for solar and wind power exists where backup is needed - when there is little wind for only one hour at night, you still need another controllable source of energy with a

Wind power is intermittent in most regions in Europe, without expensive storage it just extends the lifetime of coal plants that are then used as an indefinite "backup". We need to get back to the building times of the 80s in Swed

Complexoty causes high system costs at scale for energy grids with a large amount of intermittent renewables. Adding more stable adjustable sources like nuclear, hydro or geothermal will become more attractive than creating wildly intricate

In the family memories of my great-grandfather, he describes how he used to manipulate the machine during night shifts (hospital warden) to sneak in a few hours of sleep.

You can compare the energy mix of the countries with accessible data here https://app.electricitymaps.com/map Even in larger time periods (a year or so), if a country is emotting low co2 (green) then it is either nuclear pl

The french get their energy from co2-free, cheap nuclear energy, the claim that more fuel is burned is only fractionally true.

The sun does not shine at night, even in California. Summer is often accompanied by a loss of wind power. Energy sources that can be regulated are direly needed, depending on location, countries tgat decarbonized use either hydropower, geot

My previous company built VR learning apps (among other things). Immersive learning for trainees, but customers preferred implementations where trainees were prevented from doing anything else. That was not possible before

After we got used to multitask screen input in our lifes for years, VR is a huge bet that we somehow prefer single-focus-session in an environment controlled by someone else. No more checking messages in between, no more friendly distractio

I follow these announcements with a sense of dread, as battery limits are the main obstacle between our current situation and widespread adoption of drones and robotics for military use.

I was more optimistic about EVs until I learned about the amount of CO2 produced by electricity generation in countris like Germany. nuclear energy has been largely phased down for political reasons and CO2 emissions are still on a level wh
