Nuclear energy is green energy. Just because the externalities of nuclear are more obvious than the externalities of wind or solar does not make those other options any cleaner than nuclear.
Nuclear is non-renewable with possibility of fallout. Solar, Wind, Wave and Geothermal all already exist and simply need to be captured and used. They are also much safer and yes, much cleaner.
You'd have to convince the rest of the "green power" party, then.
So... no NatGas, no coal, no nuclear... what's the nation going to run on when one additional person decides to microwave a Pot Pie?
Solar, wind, and hydro aren't going to come close to 24/7 reliable power... we'd need a US-country-sized island of 'just' batteries to keep up with demand.
Now you're just making things up and providing nothing to back yourself up.
Did wind power for ships in the 1800's generate power? Let me know how far you can fly your electric Cessna or LearJet.
In the 1800's, there was much less need for electricity (as I'm assuming you know the difference between power and electricity, I won't give the snotty comment that could have been made here). However, yes there is enough excess wind to have generated electricity while sailing. There is also plenty of solar hitting the ship that could also generate electricity and ships have more than enough storage space for battery storage for that excess electricity which could be generated. As for the Cessna or LearJet, I don't really care. China, as the rest of the world, ships it's products using boats.
Well, considering I didn't number anything, so I can't reference number one or anything, this'll be rocky.
There's plenty of water to put out ICE fires, they also have fire-fighting foam for that issue... do they have Halon systems to extinguish your BEV? The minerals are still mined by child labor, aren't they? Should we be okay with that concept because it's something "we need"? And, I imagine there's lots of truck EV charging stations that are big enough for 120' trailers. I'm aware of how the trucks are contracted to haul a _thing_ (whatever it is). If we don't need to process crude oil to get gas or diesel, what's the point of drilling for oil? Couldn't we use that natural gas for heating and cooking?
I say: let the stupid data centers burn... do we really need them?
As I numbered my responses, you really should have been able to reference those numbers to attempt to make sense of your argument. Unfortunately, you did not.
Does this 'green power' include NatGas power plants?
Natural Gas is in no way green energy.
Viable biosphere? We've been well outside of that concept since like the 70's (probably earlier). Can't leave the oil in the ground... it has uses (how else does everything get from China to US, or how do you take your globe-trotting vacation?).
Solar works quite well and wind power was used to sail ships over the oceans for the vast majority of human existence until fairly recently.
You mean like pollution-producing NatGas (a limited resource)? How about the minerals (a limited resource) that get used to make the solar panels? Those come from mines outside the big cities in Asia Major where the children work in the mines. Are the trucks that deliver the blades and nacelle and mast powered by electric? Do the BEV batteries totally get recycled locally, or do they get the aluminum can treatment (crush it here, send it overseas to be recycled)?
Do you have a Halon system to extinguish the battery fire when your power-wall catches fire?
1) natural gas is an alternative also owned by the same companies pushing oil and coal 2) old argument. Get a new one 3) Also an old argument. Get a new one 4) Yes. Yes they do get recycled locally. 5) poor argument. Get a new one. Now, let's take a look at the equivalent arguments in the other way. 1) already handled as it's owned by the same companies 2) The minerals you're talking about are also used in larger amounts to process gasoline, in coal plants, in the equipment needed to mine for coal, etc. 3) The trucks aren't controlled by those who run the wind turbines. Your argument only brings up the question "Well why aren't they running on electric when they absolutely should and could be?". Solution, hire companies that use an electric fleet. 4) Is the coal, gas, diesel, natural gas, etc. ever recycled? 5) Is there enough water available to put out all the fires for ICE vehicles? Especially with all the data centers that keep popping up?
Your utopia didn't turn out so well for Germany. Shutting down all their nuclear plants and going green. Only to need to pay inflated prices to import power from France's nuclear plants.
Then there's all the industries leaving Germany because they can't get reliable power to operate manufacturing plants.
The sun doesn't always shine, wind doesn't always blow, and extended droughts can cause water to not flow. There needs to be alternative sources. And modern nuclear plants are preferable to coal and gas plants.
"Germany has been an early leader in offshore wind and solar PV and phased out nuclear power in 2023. Major legislative reforms in renewable energy planning and siting support targets of 100-110 GW of onshore wind, 30 GW offshore wind and 200 GW solar, alongside investments in 10 GW of hydrogen by 2030." - This comes from https://www.iea.org/countries/... and is found easily with a quick search. Wind and solar easily covers 60% of the nations energy needs and is still being ramped up. Nuclear was phased out in 2023 and coal is down to 21% of the grid and being phased out further. To cover your "sun doesn't always shine and wind doesn't always blow" issue, battery backups exist along with hydro-electric (works by pumping water to an upper reservoir when excess energy is produced then allowing it to flow naturally back down when more energy is needed).
These are going to be quick and dirty installations in order to power AI data centers for people that bribed trump. It's your taxpayer dollars going to finance AI slop. But that's not the real problem, the real problem here is the people who want these want them yesterday. They are not going to pay any attention to safety or maintenance they're just going to slap them up as fast as possible in a place where the people don't have enough political power to deal with the inevitable repercussions. Meanwhile we could power basically everything with wind and solar and do it safely and effectively but they don't want you to know that or think about that because while wind and solar is the inevitable direction we're going for power generation the Epstein class wants to remain in charge of your electricity and your access to clean water. And the funny thing is when I write it out even though it's absolutely true it sounds like batshit crazy insane conspiracy because well, it kind of is. It's like Gore Vidal used to say, I'm not a conspiracy theorist I'm a conspiracy analyst... And yeah you can have real conspiracies that are going to hurt you personally. Deal with it.
Too bad I have no karma points or you'd be getting kudos.
skill issue; i have never seen ads on my windows 11 installs, it's literally a google search and a single download away.
hell i've always had these start menu features on my win11 systems
so you can either complain for worthless feel good nerd cred (IE, about to be this entire fucking thread of people jerking eachother off about who can perform the linux humiliation ritual the most) or actually be a real user and make your system do what you want, the way users have made windows do what they want for decades
You mean, after paying for a company to bend you over and enter from behind before you do the work to get your system to do something remotely useful that they said was already done in the first place? Yeah, I'll stick my little "humiliation ritual" as you so call it.
I notice they say "reduce" not eliminate.
I noticed recommended content could be turned off in Win11 long ago. Maybe they are making it easier to do so, but its always been there.
This just means you'll receive generic advertisements instead of targeted ones
Actually secure.
I'd go more for a Linux based mobile operating system. Ubuntu Touch has made large strides in this field. So has Droidian.
Because they don't think about what they're saying - it's just an automated, impersonal response with no meaning to them. They're just going through the motions. Which makes it even more rude.
Language evolves over time. The meaning behind certain words, terms and even emphasis changes. I'd suggest that they do know what they're saying but you haven't kept up with the changes.
Nope. "You're welcome" is akin to "I'm pleased to be of service." "No problem" is like "I wasn't bothered _too_ much to do what I'm paid to do."
That would be your opinion from your own generational bias. I've worked with multiple generations of individuals and have spoken with them about this exact topic. I'm not giving my own opinion, just using my own words to describe what they've told me.
