  • Nuclear energy has no place in a green Scotland

    Jump

  • The sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow.

    Which is why you connect countries together. Combined with having more than enough capacity. And battery storage.

    All of that is still significantly cheaper than nuclear. Plus it can be built way faster.

    Nuclear is expensive and takes ages. And that's just the budget, it'll easily go crazy over budget and be a decade late.

    Where did the person that you respond to do this? You've claimed this in a few comments, but people aren't doing what your think is being done.

  • Five Things the “Nuclear Bros” Don’t Want You to Know About Small Modular Reactors

  • My first issue with this, is that he's still using his information from 2013.

    That's actually a thing against nuclear power. For decades it's the best thing. But often drawbacks are only solved in a new design that isn't in a lot of nuclear power stations. And if they're actually build then the cost overrun by a factor of 2 and more.

    It's always the next iteration that'll solve things. It seems to be like a costly way to produce power if it'll be built. Existing ones can be cheap, but then there are often several technical versions out of date.

  • I though the use case was that these reactors can be mass produced in a factory and not require large scale infrastructure projects?

    The mass production takes time to build up. It takes time to get experience. I've read various articles around SMRs. For at least the first 9 there will not be any mass production. It'll be very costly.

    Usually production improves as more is produced. Possibly it improves by the experience gained, possibly by a new factory.

    It'll not be immediately cheap and mass produced. While that is often claimed for SMRs.

    As small ones aren't as efficient, it'll be more costly per kWh. That it'll be cheaper than regular nuclear power seems mostly wishful thinking.

  • That wasn't said. Pretending a crazy summary was said is a common fallacy.

  • Trump cultists are willing to do anything for that man.

    They don't do that on their own though. Trump actively directs people to use violence.

  • Like promises not to do mass layoffs.

    And what if that promise is broken? It shouldn't just have promises, there should be clear consequences attached as well. Else it'll just be a broken contract or promise. That can end up in legal stuff for ages.

  • Prices usually go down as production increases, no? And it's not really about increased production, more about gaining experience in producing it.

  • Ah, the magical technological advancement that is only possible with hydrogen. While ignoring the advancements with EVs.

    At the moment, hydrogen production is too costly, energy wise.

    EVs are already way more efficient. You're repeating things that have been discussed ages ago as something new.

  • French campaign urges men: 'Drive like a woman!'

    Jump

  • According to the French road safety observatory 84% of fatal car accidents in 2022-2023 were caused by men.

    How many kms do men drive vs women? And does it differ across the type of road? And what about age?

    In Netherlands if there's a couple often the man drives, not the woman. It used to be way more expensive to insure yourself as a man. That until they said it wasn't allowed anymore. Then suddenly insurance rates were dropped quite a bit for men, hardly went up for women.

    I'm guessing/wondering if there's a difference on how often a man drives vs a woman. Coupled with testosterone effects for men under 25 or so. In Netherlands men under 25 aren't known to dive safely.

    84% is still huge, but seems they aren't looking at the right figure.

  • For online stuff, they'd have to know location in order to provide a post-tax price

    Or they advertise a price and then make a slightly different amount per city and so on. That's how it is done sometimes for stuff sold in multiple European countries for the same price.

  • Ya know what would reduce carbon even more and pretty much eliminate microplastics: Rail.

    Container shipping is more efficient than tail though per km travelled. Just look up the figures.

    Rail would be great instead of trucks, but there's quite a few complications to go from truck to rail.
