Thorium and molten salts would be awesome. The very reason they would be is why they weren’t researched to production.

Their *currently* at about 28% renewable. You should probably better understand the scale of their annual build out.

Certainly toned myself down over the years. But the thing that really did it was the realization that *everybody* has a dash cam now.

Much appreciated, makes sense :)

Seems like the small removable pieces might get lost, chewed or worse?

I mean reading is hard but it’s literally the FIRST SENTENCE of the article.

I think the issue is the bandwidth of the local power grid. A given greasy spoon probably needs 3-4 separate chargers to make it worthwhile. Otherwise if you pull in and it’s busy, that 30 min stop just doubled or more.

The garden is just one bit of it. Storage for winter becomes a significant issue.

Yeah, it was a bit of click bait headlining. It was basically a moment in time, maybe a few minutes.

It is entirely how it’s measured. Each individual turbine has it’s own capacity factor. A turbine farm has a capacity factor across the farm.

Yeah, DI is the actual solution here. ‘Normal’ people don’t make money off of the existence of a body part in a particular state, like a Model or Movie Star does.  ex.  the scar on Klum’s leg reduces the ‘value’ of that leg.

Yeah, I’ll be interested to see more detailed teardowns of the AMD desktops and whether they continue the cheapishness of the Intel variants

ND...someone elses custom project isn’t ever a good idea

“The number of turbines built doesn’t change the capacity factors.”

or buy a fan which will do effectively the same thing at energy cost.

Entirely correct, but oof is it hard.

I think there are BattleBots bigger than this

A slide show...of books.

Exactly. Netflix’s business model has been to provide a usable service for browsing/finding content. (some recent change into content creation)

Yep.  Will be interesting to see what mitigations can be done when it does shut down.
