That’s 6 years old and written in conjunction with the NEA.

Still there’s this from that report:

In the US, at least nuclear is much more expensive than wind and solar.

Here’s last year’s figures. Nuclear is crazy expensive.

Does this latest affront to decency somehow make him less of a pedophile?

I don’t think you can win the economic argument, everything I’ve seen suggests nuclear is far more expensive and it’s not getting cheaper, whereas renewables are but if you’ve got sources, by all means let’s see them.

Sodium batteries don’t require a way larger footprint, it’s true they’re not quite as energy dense but they’re being used in EVs in China, there’s a little reduction in range for the same size pack but they’re way better in extreme cold and heat so you’re not drawing as much power to condition the battery.

If we’re talking 10-15 years from now, when a new nuclear plant would come online, there’s going to be a lot of EV batteries around. Maybe they get recycled but that seems a waste when they’ve only lost a little capacity. I guess we’ll see.

Nuclear is way more expensive than renewables, it’s not public appetite, it’s that it’s impossible to get funding if you can’t get a government to cover the cost. Another reason lenders are jumpy is that nuclear frequently goes way over budget and takes longer than initially estimated.

By the way, last I checked SMRs don’t exist in any meaningful capacity.

Sodium ion batteries are already on the market, they’re much cheaper than lithium, work across a far wider range of temps, they don’t catch fire, don’t lose capacity over many charge cycles, and sodium is cheap and abundant. New nuclear takes at least 10 years to build, typically longer. By then sodium batteries will be everywhere, as well as repurposed batteries from older EVs.

What’s the argument for new nuclear? Make it make sense.

This is going well, isn’t it?

Typically it’s on the person making the assertion to back it up with evidence but you do you.

I mean … that’s just not true.

That ship has sailed. With renewables and storage nuclear makes no financial sense and dispatchable power doesn’t work well with base load generation.

There is no meaningful discussion to be had

Yeah, that’s the vibe I’m getting as well. See ya.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

All the way through it felt like there was more coming until there wasn’t, it just fizzled out.

I’ll provide a list and then you’ll be like “congress didn’t declare war, that’s not a war!”

Isn’t that the point though? All you’re doing is making an assertion without evidence thereby dodging any hope of a meaningful discussion.

Alternatively, “Ah, you caught me chatting shit, well done you.”

Never have a looked forward to owning an EV as much as I do today.

I mean, you could do the bare minimum and cite examples to back up your claim. Why is that a problem?

Hmm, the only barrier to upgrading was that the i5 processor wasn’t supported, no complaints about TPM/motherboard compatibility and a fresh install worked fine on the exact same hardware. Oh well, it’s done anyway.

I just went for a new installation. Why would that work? Just curious.

Thank you for this. I already did a fresh install but it’s interesting that your link is to the Surface subreddit just to rub some more salt in the wound. The processor is officially supported for upgrades only if it’s in Microsoft’s hardware. I hate them so much.

There was a time when a foreign country impugning a mayor would’ve been big news. Now “Israel accuses person of antisemitism” is just something that happens every few days.

A cyberpunk style, tech-worshipping doomsday cult doesn’t sound too far fetched these days.
