In all honesty, Grenfell was caused by bad construction choices, materials and political penny-pinching. A second stairway filled with cyanide smoke would have had very limited benefits.

> OPV2 (specifically 2) cures zero infections because type 2 is extinct in the wild. So explain how my sentence isn't true? OPV2 prevents cvdpv2 infections. This is a virus similar in all respects to wpv2, except its lower rate of p

I think 'ars' is leading you into a rhetorical trap. The objective was never eliminating the wild virus, the objective was curing polio. The OPV vaccine is a bit like fighting fire with fire: you burn down the forest (immunize sus

Nothing about the current tokamak based designs suggests they will be any cheaper to build for a given power rating than existing fission designs: - They need large, highly advanced cryocooled superconducting magnets in very close proximity

Yup, a major breakthrough in this glacial field is doubling the energy output in 25 yeas. So by the time captain Picard is born, we might have a very expensive and massive fusion reactor that will generate the same kind of energy we can ge

Rooftop solar was always form of green subsidy: you get the same flat price for energy you dump into the network as the price the utility charges you. But what you put in at random times of your own choosing is much, much less valuable than

Nuclear had roughly 60 years to deliver clean, cheap and reliable energy. If it did all that, no amount of green lobby could have derailed it. Unfortunately, and I feel that deeply as an engineer, it did not achieve those goals. What we hav

Because trains are known to split into family sized units that continue the journey on roads using battery power? The public transport trope is tiresome and unlikely to prevent the warming of the planet with a single fraction of a degree.

Charging rails alongside major roads is the obvious solution to this problem. It will enable much more than vacationing in urban EVs, also things like electric semis, long range buses etc. Since it is a fixed capital expenditure, you need s

I have no idea why Tesla tries to revolutionize the user interface of cars at the same time with their powertrains - as if they don't have enough risk on their plate. There is a reason every car built in the last 50 years looks drives

I think the 1.5 million price is a snapshot of the current market, with low availability of housing and most people unable or not knowing they can split the lot. So houses are priced for their livability. If it starts to happen in mass, eit
