We seem to either be getting annual floods or annual droughts. That suggests to me that we've fucked up our water usage in the country. The window for having enough rainfall without some community having to get flooded out seems to have vanished.
Air and wind are inexpensive insofar as they have a low LCOE, but are intermittent, so require being coupled with energy storage, and that is not inexpensive.
First, AIR and wind?
Second, yes they are intermittent but that's not an argument in favour of nuclear. Pairing intermittent sources and sources that need to run at full power 24/7 to be economic isn't a good match.
This is the key question. Eventually reactors wear out and need substantial refitting to live longer, and you're then working on a highly irradiated structure.
The UK hit this point with a number of reactors. Even though they had licenses to continue, reality struck and they had to be decommissioned. Of course, the reason for the extension of service was because no replacement plan was in effect. End result is the UK nuclear generation is slowly dying.
..and that chart is missing 9 years. It's now 5.9GWe.
Stop farming NHS IT out to contract. Build the capability within the NHS to build the system it needs, not what some consultancy thinks it needs. It'll be better and more secure.
The Palantiri weren't evil. It was only the fact that Sauron possessed one that made them dangerous. However they were also key in his defeat as he was deceived by what he saw through them.
They were just an object that allowed you to see long distances.
You're right it does vary from country to country.
However, I don't personally think it does the process any good if thing can descend into playground insults or violence. I'm in favour of people being expelled if they can't maintain a base level of behaviour.
Good point. There can't be anyone left alive by now.
