Arnold Schwarzenegger hade an obese BMI in competition trim. Outliers does not invalidate a generic measure, they are outliers. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Arnold_S...
Is not this common knowledge? It works for population measures and mostly everyone not exercising at a very high level. In other words, 9x% percent of the population can not excuse their BMI by "muscle mass", it is…
> The risks of nuclear power going critical are far smaller than the benefits from not having to use coal for example. That is a strawman argument. Coal has generally been uneconomical since the advent of combined cycle…
> You're imagining an act of god that does precisely so much damage that the difference between catastrophic failure and a non-event is this one cracked pipe. That was, please note, detected and fixed before failure.…
You can, have a read. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9837910
Which is why I treat my computer as a thin client unless it is in the Dropbox folder. For example, every single line of code is simply a scratchpad if I don't sync it to a remote git instance.
Or Dropbox and choose "online only". For my off site backup I have a computer which syncs everything to local storage. I guess I don't defend against malicious intent or "delete it all" software bugs but that tends to…
You have to differentiate between paid off nuclear plants nearing end of life and new built ones. Take for example Hinkley Point C, that costs €0.15 per kWh for the consumers. How does that compare?…

> I'm not really clear what this means? All power plants require financing for their construction cost which is pretty definitionally the market cost of construction. It is hard to finance a plant when you will on…
> Not to mention nuclear is also the safest technology out there so far (read up stats on the deaths per each technology, per megawatt) Let's remove all laws where the public bear the cost of accidents then? Should be…
With reduced safety features that would not be acceptable in the west. Then sprinkle middle eastern style guest workers and a dictatorship on top. Will not be repeated in the west.
Is there any public information about the financing? The recent nuclear plants constructed in the west requires something like $5-15B above the market price in subsidies, of course depending on size. Would be…
Of course nothing is forever. But why can't we celebrate the win that BEVs are?
In my experience async drop is a nice to have, not a must. Futures::block_on is good enough for the happy path in low stakes scenarios. When dealing with async operations they tend to end up at a network boundary and…
Through a SPAC after their application to license their design was denied by the NRC, and the responses seem very immature. Does not inspire confidence. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/nrc-denies-oklo-powers-plan...
Locking up capital for 70 to 80 years? Do you know about the time value of money? [1] What you are proposing is FDR and Churchill sitting at the Casablanca Conference at the height of the second world war in 1943 [2]…
In Sweden the grid connection for off-shore wind farms have been said to be in the 15-30% range of total cost. On the other hand, the question is where the grid ends and a power plant begins. Previously when the grid…
I agree the stance is old-fashioned, but nuclear is not the solution in 2023. We correctly attempted it in the 2000s, it did not deliver, lets learn from that experience. Who would finance another Flamanville [1] or…
Bunker barges/tankers are standard everwhere, although not underway but docked or at anchor. Docking at a certain place simply to bunker just doesn't happen on larger vessels where utilization factor is everything.…
Exactly as I said. Nuclear was the right choice in the 70s. At that time the climate as a question did not exist, it was only about energy independence. Today the equivalent choice when rebuilding our energy systems are…
Such a success story that their nuclear company, EDF, had to be nationalized and is so indebted that they can not finance new nuclear without state aid. >(Montel) French utility EDF is unable to self-finance the…
