still the same problem, everything is fine while it works... when something fails, it is e-waste... with a few minor changed, it CAN be repaired or reused.
We dig mountains, we pollute rivers and the air, we poison people and animals to produce all those components and while many can be reused many times, we are throwing much of then in landfills
yes and they even had nuclear and it didn't save it from happening
what happen in Spain can happen in any country with enough renewable... Coal, gas, nuclear have inertia and can compensate for small oops, renewable can also have, either directly (wind) or indirectly (special systems, battery), but all renewable (even wind) were build around that "others" will do the inertia part, they just need to keep in sync with the rest of the network and even wind that can have inertia, it was hidden behind a simple sync controller. When the network had a small oops, all renewable shutdown because they were out of sync, causing a cascaded event. The lesson learned is that a part of renewable (no all) also need to have inertia systems, they need to keep working even if the network gets out of sync and help maintain the network inside the specs.
The same for black start systems, every modern central assumes that the network is already working and didn't install any black start system. When everything failed, Portugal had 2 black start systems and Spain is rumored to also have just 2 to 3 to restart the network. France and Morocco helped Spain borders, but clearly it is not enough. Portugal was even worse, as it was alone starting their network and is only connected to Spain that was also without power.
Notice that this could also happen with coal, gas systems or nuclear systems, they can break too, just look to Australia power issued before they installed the tesla batteries. Those batteries do not give power for a long time, but enough time to keep the grid stable until more coal station ramp up their power... as inertia works both ways, it also take a long time to ramp up
So again, this was a problem of modern installs, everyone assumes the grid is stable... but when it isn't, you have a big issue. Everyone saved money, but at least in same strategic locations, breakpoints must be installed, to avoid cascaded too much and more inertia systems need to be installed, wind, flywheels, capacitors, worse case, batteries
The problem is that, they don't recycle, all is thrown away, it is more expensive to recycle or repair than to build a new one. and why is so expensive to recycle/repair? because it was design to be so, glued parts, components that only work in THAT device, all solder-in components in just one board. Framework proves that you can build a modular laptop, easy to repair and where you can reuse older parts without any problem, but elites like apple because of it's status and do not care about the rest
that is your consumerist mind, you win, everybody loses, but you still don't care!
yes, you get a new device, great for you... your previous device is now e-waste, can't be repaired, can't be reused, it is just trash. Cost a lot (money and environment) to refine all the ingredients, even more to build each components, all throw away to trash, with little or any component recycled because they are too expensive break apart and recycle. Human labor and environment cost are huge, but they are far away, you don't care, you get a new device!!
The alternative is a better design to allow repair (actually easy to do), the repair itself is cheaper than AppleCare, even if totally dead, all working components can be reused to repair other Mac and recycle of other parts get much easier as it is unscrew and put each part in the correct recycle treadmill.
Is up to the final consumer to demand products that can be repaired, but smartphones, apple, google, samsung, microsoft, all love locking user and if things fail after 1 or 2 years, perfect, the user buys a new device, more profit, who cares about the environment and where our kids will live in the future!!!
WTF have religion have to do with all this?! was it a Islamic person that decided to close nuclear? was it a Immigrant?
you are mixing different topics just to follow your hate agenda.
Go spread your racism elsewhere, Trump for sure loves you

https://app.electricitymaps.co...?
the renewable potential in USA is still mostly wasted, most south states have almost no PV installed and even wind, some places got it, the place next have any
Using Spain as a example
PV generate already a good amount of power:
https://app.electricitymaps.co...
27% in summer, 9% in winter
and that is over 24h...as during night there is no sun... if you check during day only, you get almost 60% of energy from PV in the last few days
https://app.electricitymaps.co...
Wind, between 7% and 45%... this last few days were not windy, so 8%, one month ago it was 35-45% : https://app.electricitymaps.co...
Both wind and solar already produce a good amount of power... we now need tidal power, geothermal and yes, biomass (at least in all places where we get huge wildfires, some forest cleaning could produce a good amount of energy and make wildfires less dangerous)
they did, but slower than expected and many invested lot more in Gas powered centrals... because gas was cheaper and much better than coal
The Ursula von der Leyen is actually wrong, only 4 countries in Europe reduced the nuclear: UK, Belgium, Sweden and Germany
So UK reduced nuclear because they were OLD and expensive, they were using outdated tech and had little power compared with modern nuclear stations
Germany also had some older centrals, but decided to kill all of them and replace them by gas centrals, as it was expected that gas was cheaper than nuclear and solve the population anti-nuclear stand. Notice that gas was cheap because it was Russia gas... renewable were given less priority, while solar actually increase a lot in Germany... but it is not efficient as in Spain and during winter is less efficient. Many wind projects were postponed or got local resident opposition.
Belgium started to shutdown some nuclear centrals, but since stopped exactly due to energy crisis
Sweden closed 4 obsolete nuclear, they were too expensive and old and they had enough renewable to compensate
All other European countries kept the same nuclear or even increase it a little. Also notice that France had planned maintenance for several of their nuclear plants during the time that Gas price skyrocketed, so they couldn't even compensate and in fact required more use for gas.
What she may say is that most of the investment went to gas centrals, that now are a problem... some of that could have been allocated to new nuclear, but the same could be said to add more renewable and storage (hidro, weight lift, spinwheels, battery)
New gas central kept being built, as they take years to build, but now gas is not cheap russia gas, but expensive US and middle east... with Russia blocked and now war in middle east, everyone that bet in gas is paying more for their electricity
During that time, Spain, Portugal, Denmark invested in renewable and they have lower electricity prices. Even UK invested in renewable and what have lost in nuclear is more than compensated by renewable sources:
https://app.electricitymaps.co...
on the other side, itally, a country with huge renewable potencial, invested very little on it and mostly on gas and now they see how wrong they were
https://app.electricitymaps.co...
compare that with spain
https://app.electricitymaps.co...
Notice that spain also have plan to shutdown most of their nuclear centrals, as they are more expensive than renewables
So the problem here was that nuclear was phase out in some places a little to early and too much investment was done in Gas. South europe countries can and should invest in solar, Italy, Greece can have huge solar potential that is being wasted (talking about home setup and industrial rooftops, that should be enough, no need for mega solar projects). Wind can be used in many places. offshore wind too. Tidal needs more research, but can have a huge potential in all coastal countries and finally, storage solutions, as renewable works much better with storage (See Portugal usage of storage, getting cheap solar from Spain during day and selling storage hidro on peak usage for much higher prices: https://app.electricitymaps.co...)
If you invest in solutions that require other country fuel, you are always dependent of those sources. if you instead invest in our own energy, you get short term higher prices, but them long term lower prices
Another problem is the infrastructure, Spain and Portugal invested hardly to modernize their electric infrastructure and are well connected. Sadly France is blocking better connections to Europe, mostly to protect their nuclear business from cheaper renewable energy... but many countries are still islands of power, build around nuclear or gas centrals and not in disperse energy production. Italy is a great example of this, many small electric islands that make renewable investment harder as the grid is not prepared. So again, instead of gas, many countries should have instead invested in upgrading their electric network to help renewable to work better.
As for the EU commission, they should push for this network modernization, push a lot all EU country electric inter-connects to help energy flow where it is needed. They bet "all in" on Gas, i hope they don't think in bet "all in" on nuclear. Solar and wind are already cheaper than nuclear and most of the time, cheaper than gas... gas and nuclear are useful when there is no wind or sun, but that is also why OTHER renewable sources should get more attention
hey, delete your account and convince other people to do the same...
if not that, post in your facebook account that you will not use facebook anymore and ask others to do the same and do the same post. if enough people see the post, it may trigger a leave movement... but facebook is so huge because everyone created accounts for their parents, uncles, grandpas, etc
also stop using instagram, whatsapp and other meta alt names. I personnaly refuse to use whatsapp and complain every time someone ask me for mine whatsapp
why should they? the public ends paying them anyway, one way or another, at least is included in the price and not hidden
This guy gets it, it just a matter of finetune and number of panels
And again, if it is about status:
"The number of American men with small penises who will buy these gas guzzlers isn't enough to support the automobile industry."
Most of those top brands only exist because some millionaire and ditactors with small dicks want to impress others some other way, so they can sell a car 100x or more times the price of a normal car and sell 5 to 10 cars... but that is enough for them to survive...
For example, Libia Gaddafi family had a extensive collection of supercars before the regime fall
yes, when i want it, i go do a kart race or go to a off-road track in own track rented cards... no need to own one, use one for every day city traffic and i don't need to drive like a dick in normal roads.
Is like owning a ferrari or some top cars.. awesome, but too expensive, too useless for every day usage, it is all about status
>This board includes their biggest enemies - Turkey and Qatar,
Sure, sure, that is why Israel and USA are bombing Turkey and Qatar right now, to protect Israel!! They send money and weapons to destroy Israel, sure they are the enemy!!
When someone wants to be blind, there is no way to can make him see!
Turkey, while talking about protecting the Palestinians, actually still sell goods to Israel, money talks and turkey leaders are actually very corrupt
Qatar (plus UAE and Saudi Arabia) have deep pockets and care little about the Palestinians, they just don't want too much noise as it drops their investments... they can complain a little, just to not look bad to their (and other countries) muslins population
>relocate the Palis to other Arab/muslim countries materializes, and then the strip can be occupied (after reconstruction) by people who're not into jihad and aren't trying to slaughter Israelis all the time
So relocate the Palestinians and give the land/houses to... say
Again, go read history, you MAY learn how to avoid doing the same mistakes
quoting from a previous comment:
"The number of American men with small penises who will buy these gas guzzlers isn't enough to support the automobile industry."
normal people want to go from A to B in a cheap and efficient way, if your intent is something else, go back one line
What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman? A used car salesman knows when he's lying.
