Tens of thousands of innocents dead? Uh… No. I would think there were far more effective methods that should have been used.

How does 16, 14, or 12 AWG tell you anything about ampacity?
This take is so incredibly ignorant of history and reality I can’t even…
People have a hard-on about nuclear being “baseload” power and renewables being intermittent. Solar/wind plus batteries to add dispatchability is a valid comparison to nuclear if you only want to talk about baseload.
Because other drivers are blinded…
This is due to corporate greed. Solar and wind are the cheapest sources of energy in the history of the world.
Even current lithium-based battery storage is already cheaper than nuclear.
Habit started out so good and now it tastes like ‘optimized supply chains’ like all the other shit places.
When they’re a) white and b) political allies.
It’s unfortunate that Israeli propaganda has been unrelentingly conflating jewishness and israeliness. A real disservice to Jews everywhere.
She happened to be at a table with a world leader at a large event. Guess who else has been at a table with Putin? Most recent US presidents and countless other politicians.
Hydro is often turned on and off as pumped storage. Nuclear never is
Out of those you listed, nuclear is the least flexible in terms of output regulation. PV with batteries is the most flexible.
Yeah the poster above you is wrong. Solar is WAY less than half the price.
Solar plus batteries are already cheaper than nuclear, and only going down. Nuclear has always gotten more expensive over time. For the cost of the most recently completed nuclear plant in the US they could have built 12 times the nameplate capacity worth of solar with 24 hours of battery backup. (A totally unnecessary amount of dispatchability.)
Solar and batteries easily “pay” for their manufacturing carbon emissions within 1-2 years max (as does nuclear). This payback period only goes down as the grid gets greener.
It means get off your lazy ass and quit that dead end job. Start your own business selling chia underwear. You can’t afford the startup costs? Just get a couple mil loan from your dad.
I want everything to be toggle switches. If I could get a keyboard made of 105 classic toggle switches it would be worth the effort to type with it.
Tax prep software companies and tax prep services in general.
