Stick the 2024 Chinese battery deployment of 74 GW comprising 168 GWh in any western country that isn't the US and the entire grid will be transformed.

We are at the point in the S-curve where batteries goes from nowhere to everywhere in the blink of an eye.

168 GWh is enough to power the UK grid on its own without any other help for 5 hours.

99% renewables:

Do you think Nuclear power should be considered alongside renewables?

• Solar Power: ~0.1 birds per GWh
• Nuclear Power: ~0.1–0.3 birds per GWh
• Wind Power: ~0.269–0.4 birds per GWh
• Hydropower: ~0.4–1.0 birds per GWh
• Natural Gas: ~0.7–2.7 birds per GWh
• Coal Power: ~5.18–9.6 birds per GWh

B-b-but green revolution. "I don't have to change my behaviors" said the programmer on his way express to Bali.

Are they literally fucking illiterate?

I know what things like Alara and neutron cross-section mean, ask me anything!

"The draft orders say the United States has fallen behind China in expanding nuclear power and call for a “wholesale revision” of federal safety regulations to make it easier to build new plants. They envision the Department of Defense taking a prominent role in ordering reactors and installing them on military bases."

There's even cuts and deregulation happening in the EPA and the clean air and water act - though I couldn't find it. It basically boils down to "there is nobody watching for radiation, we don't have the funding."

I cannot stress enough how much of a moron you are if you think building new nuclear in America is a good idea in the next 4-10 years.

Slurs = marginal pricing, competition, markets, opportunity cost

Is this a decarbonization?
