You would have to be an idiot to use nuclear for that when you can get more capacity for less money with other solutions. Since the resulting fuel is cheap and easy to store, intermittency of supply is a non-issue.

Wind is cheap enough to overbuild to solve your capacity problems.

You do need to build more transmission lines, but you need those no matter what kind of generation you build, and no one wants any of it in their neighborhood so you always have to go long distances.

If you overbuild wind then you wind up with unused capacity, which provides incentive for new uses for intermittent power. It's not a problem at all because wind can be throttled down at will

"Chill with the learn to read BS."

Learn to read first.

I imagine he was talking about the original roadster with the chassis done by lotus. For once he has a point.

That car sold like hotcakes and there is probably enough demand to do another run.

If you're a government, yes you can.

The EU has consistently resisted Apple's fake and hostile "compliance" and they will likely continue to do so.

It has always come at the expense of battery size. That's literally the whole reason they have to throttle old phones.

The implication is that they COULD.

YOU inferred that you should.

The author is only responsible for their implication, not your inference, and nowhere was the activity in question promoted.

"Most people don't know that Moore's Law is about price/transistor"

That's good, because it isn't.

It's about the number of transistors in an IC. Price is orthogonal, although he did make a secondary observation of the cost remaining relatively fixed as the density increased.

Spying is not even interesting because who is putting confidential data on TikTok anyway? The interesting parts all revolve around shaping opinion through algorithmic suppression and promotion of content, and also planting of content.

You think batteries are too heavy, but ignore that hydrogen can't get good energy density without heavy storage solutions. Are you invested in hydrogen?

We don't care as much about rail security because you can't hijack one and crash it into the Pentagon, and we always know where they are.

It's forced but they are paid the going rate, so it's not like the panels are produced below cost. That's just how cheap they are now. We should be able to match it, or get pretty close.

It would be better to subsidise our panels, rather than block imports. We need them, we need as many of them as we can get for as low a price as possible. And not buying them isn't going to change anything in China, just like it hasn't had any real effect on Israel.

It's not really a physics issue, it's where the alternative fuels come from. Biofuels are not good for the environment and not really carbon neutral.

Hydrogen is clean but you need to mass produce it and transport it.

Funny, when I listen to them I hear them saying that maybe everyone should have one or two free flights a year, and then the tax increases. So ordinary people can go on holiday or visit relatives, but it gets expensive for the business travellers who take many flights a year.

Obviously it would need to be a personal allowance, companies would have to cover your mandatory work flights.

The big problem is landing them. They do not cope well with wind, but even at the best of times you need a big open area at the very least.
