The number of hours of sunlight varies a lot with latitude.
Today, northern Norway (and northern Alaska) has 24 hours of sunlight, the Netherlands 16:23 and New York 14:51.
And for the upcoming New Year's Eve, northern Norway has 0 hours of sunlight, the Netherlands 7:45 and New York 9:16 hours of sunlight.

In studies on mammals, effects on the liver, immune system and reproduction are common.
They are long-lived and therefore remain in the environment for a long time and are therefore spread far, via air and water.
This makes them a global problem, including Antarctica.

This is a dispute between PriceRunner and Google, and PriceRunner is Swedish.
The EU Commission has already ruled that damage has occurred in the Nordic countries and the UK.
PriceRunner was acquired by Klarna, which is also Swedish but active in 17 countries.

Yes, but it is a myth that AI can replace jobs, that AI companies make to the market and investors. AI can help people do their job but not replace them.

Comment Europe comparison (Score 2) 63
Congratulations to the US on reaching 30% renewable energy. By comparison, the EU reached 48% by 2025.
Wind power is relatively cheap and quick to build, but is intermittent with no electricity when there is no wind.
Sure, battery energy storage can help to some extent and Europe is investing too,
but it is expensive technology, has limited capacity and a lifespan of 5 to 15 years.
Europe still uses mostly pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES) for storage.
Maybe research can give us better hydrogen storage?

Baseload is the minimum level of energy required and hardly varies over time, i.e. during a 24-hour period.
But both wind and solar are intermittent energy sources and are generated only when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.
The US gets 51% of its electricity from gas and 17% from coal.
That generates carbon dioxide emissions and it would be great if they could be replaced by nuclear power plants.

we could power basically everything with wind and solar and do it safely and effectively
Wind and solar is great and cheap, but vanish at night, during calm periods, or under clouds.

That is probably correct, traditionally.
But nuclear power can and is used to balance the electricity grid.
If wind power delivers too little, nuclear power can compensate and increase production.
This is done in Germany and France, but not everywhere.
It can also be used to keep the frequency at 50 Hz.
