And it worked, but unfortunately humans are too big for it to work on us. They were able to freeze hamsters entirely then reanimate them with a microwave.

Those costs with storage are if you want 100% power from solar which is not reality. US alone gets 20% of power from nuclear today, we’re not going around tearing down the base load and adding solar. We’re keeping base load and adding renew

Yeah, my opinion on how much should come from nuclear is that current levels (~20%) are enough to fill the rest in with renewables. I'd love to be France (~50%) but there is so much pushback against the technology due to accidents that

Alternative to natural gas? Wind, geothermal, or nuclear. Wind is already in the northern half of the country and operates well when winterized, unlike the ones in Texas that broke since they were not winterized during that freeze a while b

Agreed. I misunderstood your comment and got too hot-headed. Sorry about that. Yes, the 95% renewables is the number we should be shooting for not 100% as that causes battery backup price to explode. I have been pro-nuclear for a long time,

That is not correct, and doesn't even pass the sniff test. Solar is deployed at ~$2/watt and you're saying batteries are increasing that cost 2.5x to 10x? So, someone installing a home battery system is paying up to 10x their

US deploys nuclear energy at over $10/watt meanwhile solar and wind are deployed around $2/watt (for levelized cost of electricity) including battery storage which means they are deployed for roughly the same cost as natural gas (

You're discounting the immense carbon footprint of building a new car then shipping it to the dealer. A number I remember, that might be wrong, is that over 50% of a car's lifetime emissions happen before it leaves the factory. h

I attempted suicide at fifteen years old (~2009)--three schools, two countries, and dad had lost his job twice in just three years. I'd say for me it was entirely based on social isolation and lack of self worth. I hadn't been abl

When social security was started 159 people payed into it per recipient. Nowadays it's about 3 people paying in for a single recipient. It's absolutely tied to population.
