So what's the purpose of nuclear?
CA had enough solar+batteries in 2025 to produce a constant 4 GW every minute of 90% of days in 2025 plus more power during other hours
4 GW=180% of the constant 2.2 GW DC nuc plant, which also ran 90% of '25
Solar+batteries much cheaper, faster, safer, cleaner
There isn't a ratio big enough for this tripe
Well, to be truthful the real name for this guy would get you thrown out of most pubs if you said it too loudly
Thread expressing much better than I ever could exactly how I feel.
My wife told me tonight about Jimmy Carter's role in the Camp David Accords, and all we could do was shake our heads.
Now they're all sociopaths and would never consider future generations except to invoke them to grab more power.
He's a hair's breadth from extending his logic to say that only people who go to grammar schools (or the privileged equivalent) can have children, and only descendants of people who have been to grammer schools can ever go there because they're the only ones who will get the most out of it

The shift in the least few weeks from using "trust" to saying "belief" or "faith" is quite jarring.
Does it remove a degree of responsibility/accountability from the people who say they believe or have have faith in the administration, whilst admitting they can't actually be trusted?
This isn't said nearly enough - if you think being fair and sensible is expensive, just try adding up what willful idiocy and cruelty costs
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.

Why people like this (and you, of course) aren't more celebrated is beyond me
How about a Friday afternoon pick-me-up? This is the best way you're going to spend your tea break today. My word.

At least he's come over to the light side (dark side would be too on the nose) and is arguing for improved infrastrucure
I'm so glad you have been able to rise above it...
The problem for the govt is it is the govt. The truth will out: savings won’t arrive, costs will. And then the electorate will be angry at the betrayal, and rightly so. All of this is grimly predictable yet here we are with the most senior people in politics playing a dangerous game of make believe
Anyone else having flashbacks to the Iraq War when we were (correctly) convinced there was no legal basis for invasion & a million of us marched through the streets of London to protest?
Who’d a thunk quarter of a century later they’d have a President who makes Dubya look like Neville Chamberlain?
And then the transmogrification of the parlimentary Labour Party will have reached culmination...
I've been fortunate enough to meet many formidably smart, fully committed, & thoroughly decent people who, for years, have strived to try to avert dangerous climate change.
They failed.
Saying that does not lessen my gratitude to them, 1/11

The real shame is that the misspellings aren't unforgiveably rude words, but then they'd probably become collectors items and he'd try and make a buck off them, so every cloud etc
I assume there's an apostrophe fail in there, but I struggle with the proper use of semi-colons so it's in good company
My guess is that Trump is going to have been through most people's wallets by that time. His title when he is fired will be "Most Charmless Blunt Edged Artful Dodger"
I figure this is how you know we don't live in the matrix - someone this quixotic would cause a short circuit with the effort to keep everything else the right way up...
This is a longer and very good explanation of what is going on, includes mentions of the micro dick machismo men running America, and Shipman.

Today, I hosted the first meeting of a special panel on child safety online.
For decades, we have made the real world safer for children and we must do the same in the digital world.
The positive opportunities that technology offers cannot come at the cost of their safety, health or happiness.
UK government departments take note
I'm still scratching my head over that one, but I'm sure the Dread Pirate bitcoin wallet didn't open itself
