    Please feel free to point me to any developed country that has successfully replaced fossil fuel and nuclear baseload generation with renewables and energy storage. I'll save you t…

    I'm glad you can google "energy storage" and click on one of the first links but literally none of these are currently capable of replacing baseload nuclear and fossil fuel energy …

    Absolutely none of this changes the undeniable fact that "storage" is incapable of meeting the demands of baseload power generation currently provided by Nuclear and fossil fuels. …

    You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. There is no way that renewable energy can replace baseload power generation of FF and natural gas given current technology. A…

    When precisely did "the nuclear lied"?

    Renewables CANNOT replace nuclear OR fossil fuels. It's literally impossible based on current or any near-term technology. We are being told on the one hand that climate change is …

    it is literally impossible for renewables to replace fossil fuels given current technology and anything on the horizon for at least the next decade, probably much longer. So that l…

    If "activists" stopped spending all their time fear-mongering about how expensive, dangerous, and time-consuming nuclear is we could have had massive government subsidies to almost…

    So little nuclear has come online since 2010 partly because of fear-mongering from activists and people for the last 20 years complaining that Nuclear takes too long to build. If o…

    Why leave out the cost of fossil fuel power sources throughout history? And deaths caused by fossil fuel emissions which is in the tens of thousands per year. Fukushima and Chernob…

    Buzzfeed has some legit straight-news reporting though that have had some good scoops the past few years. But yes most of it is clickbait

    That someone can get rich gambling is not some new insight! Most of the WSB equity analyst is the equivalent of the blackjack player sure he's going to win it big because Mercury i…

    Yeah, I agree it's totally gambling. There's also the thing where buying equity in a company can seem very simple because you see something like Apple where they made a cool thing …

    It's always interesting how the great investments are always so obvious looking in the rear view mirror.

    No what you don't understand is that no one else in the market had caught on to the fact that AMD was the main competitor to Intel! If only we had known way back when!

    Comment #26403758

    Because a company is going to exist doesn't mean it's going to jump 10x+ in value in a few years. I remember following the WSB AMD memery several years ago and no one really predic…

    Ben Graham said many decades ago that over the short term the market is like a voting machine but over the long term it's a weighing machine. There have always been periods of irra…

    If you read some of the posts on WSB a huge number of people just really have no clue about capital markets, investing, or basic business sense. I don't know how many times I saw p…

    Yeah reviews are a shitshow almost no matter what. It's human nature to be predisposed to leave reviews when you have a bad experience. Then you have those f'ing weirdos who leave …

    Yeah, well stated. The incentives are definitely misaligned. Viewers want and expect accuracy, but most of all what they want is to be entertained and most aren't going to look to …

    I'd go even further and say that the way most people treat "documentary" to be equivalent to "unbiased recitation of factual events" is problematic itself. I love docs but often re…

    Counterpoint: Most people get WAY more value out of their Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max subs than they ever did paying Comcast $200 a month. And at a fraction of the cost!

    People on these forums just can't fathom the idea that they aren't the "average" consumer. They think because game passes don't make sense for THEM, that it's a bad idea. Therefore…
