Yes.

??? This is about the election that just happened.

Centrist is a label based on a candidate’s position on issues.

I claim that doesn’t matter. Image matters.

Fetterman is a large white male that makes Trump look weak. That’s all that matters.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. John Fetterman would have won easily. Americans pick based on appearance.

It’s a weird argument for them to make: We are too exhausted to make a short game so instead made an entirely new full game.

It’s meaningful in that your reply implied that more voted based on population increase, not percentage.

More Blacks voted for Trump on a percentage basis, not only absolute numbers.

Trump has already selected 2 white supremacists to his cabinet.

Bubo!

I expected him to be selling pirate Switches and/or games. Nope. They are suing him only for talking about it. Insane.

They didn’t try. They did one then it was years before episode 2.

You have to actually make episodes before declaring it a failure.

Yes you have to build for worst case. That’s what I already said.

You are comparing overbuilt nuclear but acting like bess can’t be over built too. That’s why the cost of storage is the only important metric.

You need an absolute minimum of 2 nuclear reactors to be reliable (Belgium has 7). That doubles the cost of nuclear. But it doesn’t matter because that’s factored in when you look at levelized cost. You look at cost per MWhr. How reliability is achieved doesn’t matter.

Bess is $200 per MWhr.

I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!

I have no idea what that is.

Why the link to an ad? There’s nothing about Donkey Kong, just a company selling retro hardware.

It looks at the cost of power generation

Yes.

But then you added the requirement of 90% uptime which is isn’t how a grid works. For example a coal generator only has 85% uptime yet your power isn’t out 4 hours a day every day.

Nuclear reactors are out of service every 18-24 months for refueling. Yet you don’t lose power for days because the plant has typically two reactors and the grid is designed for those outages.

So the only issue is cost per megawatt. You need 2 reactors for nuclear to be reliable. That’s part of the cost. You need extra bess to be reliable. That’s part of the cost.

Deport Melania, and the anchor baby. Oh, I forgot, immigration law doesn’t apply to Republicans.

It’s a toilet and a shower.

You bastard! I have stuff to do today!

This is old news now! Here’s a link from 5 years ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/07/01/new-solar--battery-price-crushes-fossil-fuels-buries-nuclear/

This is from last year: https://www.lazard.com/research-insights/2023-levelized-cost-of-energyplus/

As to uptime, they have the same legal requirements as all utilities.

I was pro nuke until finding out solar plus grid battery was cheaper.
