The waste is still here.
If you know options how to 'get rid of it' be my guest.
I introduce you to the relevant politicians and power company managers, you will make a fortune!
Unfortunately, or luckily, the germans, me included, don't want nuclear power around them.
Also: how do you know how much we spend for solar and wind and that the same amount of power could be generated with nuclear reactors in the same timeframe?
And: did you ever look on a map of germany? care to point out where we could build new plants?
On top of that, you do know that because of climate change rivers have in summer so low water levels that we have to shut down the nuclear plants (anyway!)? Ah, you did not know that
Sigh, I'm tired of morons living in a third world country, trying to give advice what WE germans should do with OUR money.
When do you once realize: the amount of money you spend is irrelevant, for what you spend it counts.
Would make sense, jf we would need similar amounts of power after sunset. Which is not the case. Depending on culture after midnight power demand is only 40% of peak demand at 1PM-2PM.
It is only random for someone who is not in that business.
Plant operators or grid operators usually know very well how much power they are generating or transporting.
Hint: weather reports, forecasts
Define 'produce radiation' please!
Both, nuclear power and coal plants, don't emit any meaningful radiation
Ah, you mean the ash of coal plants is radioactive?
Well, in first world countries no one is harmed by it
First of all: solar power does not demand batteries.
Second: battery production does not produce huge amounts of toxid waste, actually it produces none at all.
No book, live experience
The quality of weather forecasts, believe it or not, has dramatically improved the last 50 years.
Seems our GP is living as a yahoo somewhere in the woods, or in a time loop.
Perhaps you should read a book about weather?
Weather prediction is in local areas very very accurate four or fived aus ahead, and nearly 100% accurate for the next day. At least where I live.
This is not SQL but an enhanced/extended proprietary dialect.
The first sentences even mention the extensions
Better luck next time.
SQL certainly is not turing complete, but I wonder why people even bring up that matter?
SQL is not a programming language but a querry language.
Every point of measurement is data. Hence an anecdote is as well, and bottom line I consider them the most important data points.
Focusing on one thing for a while, in contrast to multitasking, is not meditation.
Meditation basically means you put your brain into a Theta band state, as opposed to the normal Beta or high focused Gamma state.
However I personally find being "in the flow", which is often a Gamma state, pretty meditating.
That Laser story of your parent is nonsense ofc.
You are right that the whole grid is synched at 50Hz/60Hz.
Nevertheless it is fluctuating locally +/- 1Hz as soon as a heavy demand (or simply high inductive) consumer gets switched on or switched off.
