  I see that the emotional level is too great for any discussion. Good luck to you, I hope you get a moment for yourself and have a nice rest of the day.

  Good bye.

  No. Not at all. Most people don’t think about it. They go about their business and think about their job, their kids,spouses, friends, cars, … They think about their local politics, not in relation to American. Than if they do think about american politics, they say to themselves: what a bunch of clowns, then they think of something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand you are hurt and angry.

  But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world, that have no desire to observe the grotesque circus of american politics. You are in your own bubble of people that think the world has ended, but most people in the world have different worries and concerns.

  Yes, that’s why I wrote that I’m here. But it’s not happening. Maybe something will change in the future, but at this moment there is nothing anyone can to do, to move these communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s complete and utter nonsense.

  There are groups of people using it that have no contact with politics or anything out of their sphere of interest. I am in a couple of such groups.

  I would love to go somewhere else and I am on lemmy, mastodon even bluesky, but there are no such communities there.

  Woosh…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like saying we don’t know if the sun will come up tomorrow, because we can’t see in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you can ban me for a sarcastic post on your dumb one, sure go ahead if that flicks your switch I guess.

  I am arguing in good faith. I live in a country where there isn’t enough good areas for wind and the weakness of the distribution network and other factors like amount of sun prevent quick installations of significant amount of solar. We already have nuclear, the knowhow and place the build more.

  So you and everyone else can try to convince me that I don’t live where I do, I will still live where I live.

  Now ban me and show me what a big man you are.

  Not true. You don’t seem to know much about energy policies in EU.

  But well… Bye

  Mkay…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? Wow! Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. I used renewables. But I used solar before because that was specifically the conversation. What a funny and irrelevant question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually I do. Simply look at injured people because of nuclear power and compare them to injured people because of any alternative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure if this is your first conversation on the topic but the debate is almost entirely on renewables vs nuclear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t really guarantee anything. What we do is play the odds. And the odds are pretty good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol. Relax. Seriously, take a few deep breaths and maybe turn off your device for an hour.

  Nobody cares about what you wrote. It’s not even the topic of conversation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many people seem to think that’s the idea. I don’t know about you, but when you frame the discussion as solar vs nuclear, that is what you are suggesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone is or at least tries to portray they are. Your article could be written for almost any country in the world.

  But that doesn’t mean a country can be run on solar alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Less than Spain. There is a winter. Geography and suitable areas less common. Distribution network made for power plants.

  Nuclear plants can be a better cost effective fit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1. why did you specify in the west :)? You know why you did that, because nuclear plants do get built in 5 years elsewhere.

  2. emm, yes very much so. Like you said, they’re are even a few suppliers who can do that. They just need enough orders for it to make sense.

  3. you should check that data again. Renewables are great, but some countries have better access than others. Right now Germany is building gas plants and burning coal and there is no end in sight for that.

  4. I might check that file later thanks, but what I’m taking about is just plain physics. You can not store enough energy today to make a big difference at any cost. And the cost is really high and can not be close to what a power plant can generate on the fly. It’s just can’t. Especially if you are taking lithium batteries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  UK has wind.

  I’m taking east Europe for instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some countries have sun, some don’t. They might need nuclear. That is the reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not precise. A nuclear plant can be built in like 5 years. And the supply chain is not the issue when you have lots of orders. But there are not many. It’s also not precise to say you can build huge amounts of renewables instead. Probably Spain doesn’t need nuclear, since it’s got plenty of sun. On the other hand many countries don’t have areas that have enough sun and consistent wind.

  Id also say that the part you said that cost of renewables combined with storage would be a fraction of the cost, that is completely false.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the nineties they said there is only 30 years worth of oil at that times consumption.

  If the need arises, we will find the uranium.

  It’s apple, people here don’t like apple, I don’t either. I don’t think it will become successful. It’s not practical, it’s expensive and its really not that useful. But it’s the first major step I think. It’s a great testing ground for future products. Hope new products will come fast. No mater who from.

  Nice one! There will be lots of great looking bodies everywhere lol

  I will like him more when he, like some teenager, realizes there are consequences to his actions.

  An adult would go and check what EU wants and why.
