This made me absolutely livid: > We requested a security incident report from the ethical hackers as proof So instead of paying him a fair bug bounty, they demand that he write a f…

So do you oppose DACA? That was the executive deliberately refusing to enforce the law as passed by congress. Edit: Here’s what a federal judge had to say in 2023: "The solution fo…

This website lists the ADL as “highly credible”. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/anti-defamation-league/

could you explain what moral value you are referring to?

Its remarkable to see the propaganda shift from “these are unarmed protestors not terrorists with guns” to “they are terrorists and they should have had more guns”. I’m just glad P…

In 2023, coal-fired electric power plants accounted for 86% of West Virginia's total electricity net generation https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=WV Looks like west virginia is still …

Arguably yes! But it avoids a lot of the safety and environmental hazards of traditional methods.

US NREL Puts it at $2/W with no storage and ~20% capacity factor. Lifetime of latest panels is unknown but optimistically is 25 years. Assuming perfect and free storage that comes …

Nonsense? Why was US nuclear built at all in the 60’s and 70’s? Or in France? Because it was cheaper? No. It was built because people thought it was a good idea. The same is true f…

Great. So 538TWh per year is 61 GW so roughly 61 GW * $9.38 = $576 billion staggered over the 80 year life of nuclear plants is $7.2 billion per year of capital expenditure. For co…

Ahh yes. France’s investment in replacing carbon free nuclear with… carbon free intermittents. Fortunately that hype-driven waste is not stopping France from building out new EPR2 …

No, what you are saying is a bunch of nonsense. If germany had simply kept its nuclear plants running and replaced its remaining coal with new nuclear back in 2000 instead of going…

Well, the only real downside to this is that energy is a bit more expensive and emissions won’t go down significantly for an extra 15 years or so. Depending on your preferred socia…

I highly doubt german reactors were designed to only last 35 years. Most gen II light water reactors in the US are expected to operate for 60-80 years. Edit: ah i reread and see wh…

>There's no market for them In an economic sense, when compared to burner reactors, this is correct. As the rise of wind and solar has shown however, political will and popularity …

I await your updated study to back up your claims

Ah yes. “Old” plants. This plant is “old” so we could never build more like it. What an argument. And no, they would not be “considerably more expensive” because we wouldnt build a…

Yes it is. Here is the study https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03062...

Could you post a link to those projected costs?

Well if by close to nothing he means waste lasting 300 years instead of 10,000 years and by latest generation he means gen IV reactors like bn-800, superpheonix, oklo, moltex etc s…
