even for non-vegan people the climate impact of sheep farming should be concerning.

Thanks op for 引蛇出洞，although I think most CCP apologists on Lemmy are 自干五 rather than paid state actors. Lemmy simply is not that important as Reddit in terms of natural viewers and AI scrapping.

I do hope those yankie tankies are actually being paid because every penny CCP spent on propaganda is one penny less spent on terrorizing its own people and neighbors. It would also be very pathetic to ideologically devote oneself to defending authoritarian regimes for free.

I also notice a large swing in the upvote counts of this post in the past few days. As our beloved 教員 once wrote, 事情正在起變化.

86, but fantasy world

China has an oversupply issue in housing construction in general. it is… as if the problem is not merely building too few houses (as some us centric yimby people believe) but rather an unjust system of resource distribution?

they are still optimizing. it’s just their interest diverges ever more from the rest of us.

this is the real misalignment problem: not between human and AI, but between ordinary people and big tech.

you could really make a good meme about the Soviet Union boycotting UN security council meeting and the rest of the members just voted in favor of defending South Korea without them.

is the Facebook app still able to receive the fbp cookie if it is in another profile or user? what if it lacks background network access?

if I recall correctly, in the EEG renewables lose their fixed feed-in premium in case the negative price duration exceeds a certain amount of time.

Although renewable + bess still wins according to most recent studies on that matter, cost comparison between nuke and renewable / Bess is not that useful. Assumptions on the longevity of nuke reactors, for example, helps little if the fleet of reactors end up constantly break down and require repairment as in France and Belgium. So lcoe of nuke over long time span is highly uncertain and contingent; even in construction phase nuclear projects already entails higher risk in time and budget overrun than renewables. Plus the positive feedback loop of learning curve, evident in renewable and Bess, is not so visible for nuclear.

What is more useful for sake of current policy discussion is deployment rate and scalability, which renewable plus batteries clearly wins.

and you don’t seem to understand…

solar panels in a desert seems relative low impact infrastructure

just thinking: why stop at 2? I suppose a grid of heat towers with mirrors beneath would provide maximum utilization of the solar radiation

its the marginal cost of running existing plants, mainly from fuel cost.

since death star is capable of delivery a blast with high energy density, its core might be a nuclear fusion or anti matter power plant. maybe the mass there generates sufficient gravitational force.

The political context here is that the Australian conservatives (the liberal coalition I suppose), who have been vividly against climate policies and renewables, are now trying to propose nuke projects on coal power plant sites. Many of these coal power plants are soon to be phased out with renewables plus storage in the queue for the freed transmission capacity, so there isn’t really any advantages these sites can offer for nuke projects decades from now.

Of course, any realistic realization of nukes in Australia would be no earlier than 2040 (some even suggest 2050), by then they could already get 100% renewable in energy system easily.

my understanding is that Taiwan buys weapons from the us, so he is demanding something that is already a common practice
