Little bastard psychopaths.

Another crisis at the border.

Why waste money on a pro when the deputy campaign manager’s cousin, who is very big in the audio, can do it for campaign merch and free soda?

It’s the only way. The problem is that if he called an election tomorrow he would stand a good chance of winning it.

Either you’re trolling or you have trouble with reading comprehension. Either way, easy block.

No, I said this

If only we had some way of storing energy for use later. Oh well.

Not this, as you claim

Right, and I replied to a comment where you claimed we can just use batteries to replace everything but renewables.

Why are you making stuff up?

Trebuchet, straight across the Bering Straight. They can keep what's left of him.

This you?

We do not currently have the battery tech to have a fully renewables-powered grid where batteries are used for the regular dips in production wind and solar have.

We likely won’t have infrastructure like that in place for decades.

Put up or shut up.

That’s not how this works. You made a tall claim, without sources. Now it seems you’re not willing to provide proof to substantiate it. Why?

Can you back this up with links to reputable sources?

Renewable sources of energy, such as solar and wind power suffer from “intermittency”, meaning they do not consistently produce energy at all hours of the day.

If only we had some way of storing energy for use later. Oh well.

Not while Netanyahu remains in power, he has no incentive to end this.

I just finished it. The fan service ruined it for me, the lines from other movies, the shots recreated, whole sequences plundered.

I wanted an Alien movie, not an expensive piece of fan art.

Also the CG on the Rook character was hilarious. How on earth did that make it into the movie?

Agreed, it was just fine. I found the fan service callbacks to the previous movies pretty distracting and unnecessary.

You do need a baseload,

Did you read the link in my post that you're replying to? It's from a former Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner.

Here's another article on the subject:

"The old myth was based on the incorrect assumption that base-load demand can only be supplied by base-load power stations; for example, coal in Australia and nuclear in France. However, the mix of renewable energy technologies in our computer model, which has no base-load power stations, easily supplies base-load demand. Our optimal mix comprises wind 50-60%; solar PV 15-20%; concentrated solar thermal with 15 hours of thermal storage 15-20%; and the small remainder supplied by existing hydro and gas turbines burning renewable gases or liquids."

I'll skip over the rest of your comment as it's not really relevant.

But nuclear, even with its high initial capital cost and long build time, still does provide energy cheaply

It literally doesn't. See the graph I posted.

and will last for a lot longer than solar panels and wind turbines,

Nobody is arguing that. We're talking about cost and base load.

nuclear can be easily and quickly ramped up or down depending on the load required.

This is absolutely not true. It's also worth noting that nuclear needs to operate as close to 24/7/365 to be economically viable. It's a source of base load power, it's not dispatchable and can't be used as a peaker plant.

Sure, it's a negligible amount but OP was saying that nuclear would be competitive on cost if only red tape wouldn't keep pushing the price up. Their contention was that less shielding would substantially lower the price of new nuclear but so far I've not seen anything to support this argument.

"This time there's a small possibility of the chance that we might mean it!"

They should've laid out a trail of hamberders to lure him off stage.

Interesting, can you provide more info? Which country? Link?

Wouldn't emitting radiation, even at background levels, lead to an increase in radiation as it's in addition to background stuff?

Also, there are strong arguments that we no longer need baseload generation and in fact it's detrimental:

"No new nuclear or coal plants may ever be needed in the United States….

Wellinghoff said renewables like wind, solar and biomass will provide enough energy to meet baseload capacity and future energy demands. Nuclear and coal plants are too expensive, he added.

“I think baseload capacity is going to become an anachronism,” he said. “Baseload capacity really used to only mean in an economic dispatch, which you dispatch first, what would be the cheapest thing to do. Well, ultimately wind’s going to be the cheapest thing to do, so you’ll dispatch that first.”…

“What you have to do, is you have to be able to shape it,” he added. “And if you can shape wind and you can effectively get capacity available for you for all your loads.

“So if you can shape your renewables, you don’t need fossil fuel or nuclear plants to run all the time. And, in fact, most plants running all the time in your system are an impediment because they’re very inflexible. You can’t ramp up and ramp down a nuclear plant. And if you have instead the ability to ramp up and ramp down loads in ways that can shape the entire system, then the old concept of baseload becomes an anachronism.”"
