I will never forgive "the golden age of TV" for skipping over the Epic of Gilgamesh. You had a miniseries right there for you. It has everything you want. It would have been like Troy, Rome, 300, GoT. Because of the nature of the material you could have random episodes non linear, different director

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

I will always say "always both yes". you need near term reductions from wind/solar, and nuke output later for the last push of decarbonization as the cost benefits of wind/solar start to run up against total variable renewable penetration limits.
Eight AP1000s would provide 9.6 GW of output. Maybe these all come online by 2040? In 2024, the US installed 41 GW of utility-scale solar. You can do both! Only one will meaningfully address electricity supply and costs in the near term.

you'll see some junk AI "showing" an airline going over the top of a hurricane (lol) but this is the truth, besides specialized hurricane hunting aircraft no one is going close.
The Sunday 8pm live flight radar tracker gives you a pretty good idea of where Hurricane Melissa is, based on where aircraft *aren’t*.

No slag to this reporter, but if you are involved in energy and energy transition in Canada and profess to be an "expert" while slagging nuclear? We're gonna throw hands. Wind? solar? storage? Yes, ALL please! But we will need every tool we can, and 60s style nuclear scaremongering ain't it.
Not according to any of the experts I've interviewed
Decarbonization is possible now, with the technology we have now. There's no need for nuclear

32. Heatpumps are better for heating homes than hydrogen, but in seasonal climates like northern Europe will exacerbate the seasonal demand and supply mismatch for solar. We need to build wind and probably nuclear as well.

The #1 thing you can do to save money on your heating bill is buy a radiative heating dish. You will be shocked how warmer you feel. Central heating systems heat air not people, and rooms you aren't in. You can keep your house much cooler and just heat where you need and feel it.

“buried in the modelling results” of the LinkNS report is “that even if the government pulled off its fantasy plan, congestion would still get worse.”
