That is complete nonsense. The new implementation will have bugs as well. And because it is far less mature, they will be worse.

The spec is not for competing implementations. The spec is for assuring properties of code. Something critically important in secure coding. Yes, many people do not understand that, but most people do not understand what secure coding actually means. Yes, the implementation may still have bugs, but with a spec you can reliably find out whether something is a bug or not.

Did I claim renewables were "CO2 free"? No, I did not. And they are not.

What a nice lie by misdirection you have there. Protip: By that measure, _all_ energy generation forms can be made CO2 free. You are just pushing nonsense.
In the real world, the one which you do not live in, it matters how much CO2 gets released, no matter why, per amount of energy generated.

What a stupid way to argue. Apparently you are entirely unfamiliar with the concept of "giants die slowly". But a smart person (you obviously do not qualify) can see what will happen well in advance.

The difference is not that large. "Much younger" is a direct lie.

Well, I could go with "shit-hole" for the USA as well. Certainly more and more accurate every day. Although I have to say most shit-holes at least have a dictator in place that knows how to oppress people and steal everything, not some two-bit wannabe that is a failure at everything ...

Indeed. And on top of that they are designed to flatter the person asking the question whenever possible.

THAT is all you have? Do you even begin to understand how utterly clueless that sounds?

Is this a serious question?

You wish. Well, an idiot is somebody that does like an idiot. You just nicely demonstrated that concept.

The US is a nation of yesterday. It is in a slow descent to the 2nd and in some aspect the 3rd world. And this has been a long time in the making. Arrogance on that level will get you left behind, eventually.

Nice FUD you have there. Makes you part of the problem.

... can keep the ICE going. Does not look good for these cretins. At some time we will just slap the real costs on fossile fuels and then this crappy historic tech will die.

Oh, look, somebody needed "research" to justify their management decisions ...

Observable evidence. I guess you are unfamiliar with the concept?
