Yes, and while most of the world's countries including "renewable" Germany are beating around the bush on decarbonisation, but not really decarbonising, China actually *is* adding GWs of low-carbon nuclear power *and* renewables each year.
> higher efficiency, longer lasting PV made with cheaper materials and processes
Really? Tesla Powerwall increased capacity from 10 to 14 kWh but the price increased... twice.

> this effect is really well understood by investors
This is an interesting perspective, as we are currently specifically combating effects of consumption-focused economy created specifically by investors. Make no mistake, investments in renewables are no different - they're just after a quick buck here, not after decarbonisation.
> New solar deployment is up within a year.
Unless it isn't. Large infrastructure projects sometimes fail. Look up history of DESERTEC project that got a lot of hype in Germany 10 years ago.
> NEW nuclear is it takes like 15 years
Not true. A few nuclear power plants in EU were delayed significantly due to political shitstorm after Chernobyl and Fukushima. Today on average it takes 5 years to complete *any* large infrastructure project, be it off-shore wind farm or nuclear power plant.

@cjd @kravietz I'm not convinced that it is bad to invest in nuclear power research. We're getting to the point now where thorium-based liquid salt reactors will be commercially available in 5-10 years. Many new thorium-based MSR designs would obviate concerns about traditional uranium-based nuclear power, in particular the risk of explosion from a meltdown would be nearly nil since they can be operated at 1 atmosphere of pressure, and their fuel would mostly be stuff that is considered a hazardus byproduct of rare-earth mining (which, coincidentally, is necessary to construct high-efficiency rechargable batteries)

CoLP with an unpaid advertising feature?

A new 'unpatched bug' in Zoom's screen-sharing feature could let other attendees in calls access restricted applications and leak sensitive information.

So you're so embarrassed by this rather ugly tree cosmetics that you start with apologetic excuse even though nobody said anything about PV 😂 Seriously, residential PV is one of the least effective and most expensive sources of energy. And yes, PV competes with nature.
Shrubs could be brown for winter but yes, the PV certainly didn't like the trees
Actually, the whole story looks very similar to what Tesonet was doing back then under bran of HolaVPN, also operating from Lithuania if I remember correctly

A service which “sells access to [your home] bandwidth to customers seeking proxy services.”
Sounds a bit like running a Tor exit node, but for people who are likely less tech savvy, and probably won’t have segmented their network and offer this with a different IP.

This has been already one of the threads of famous Tesonet vs NordVPN case a few years ago - basically Tesonet was a company running HolVPN which did exactly what the article above describes
Unfortunately, these views are widespread in Germany. There's even a special term for that - Putinversteher.

No, just look at percentages in column E and absolute numbers in column F.
These numbers are completely unrealistic - it's like saying that we now have built a 828 m tall building (Burj Khalifa) so what's the problem to just add 1999 km and reach low Earth orbit.
The model also assumes "perfectly interconnected grid", so basically ignores the largest engineering challenge when building a grid based on RE, as it assumes electricity from Mexico will reach Alaska instantly and magically
"We are the only highly industrialised country, which at the same time wants to get rid of nuclear energy and coal. Those who use a huge amount of nuclear energy, such as Macron, have an easier task to replace fossil fuels"
Did you possibly ask yourself, why "at the same time"? 🤯
