No particular reason, just had to choose some storage capacity for calculation. They get fossil gas backing anyway 😂

IEA: "Methane emissions from global oil & gas operations in 2020 were broadly equivalent to all the energy-related CO2 emissions from the entire EU"

EU: "let's keep methane in green renewable energy taxonomy!"

I checked - I saw they use Irena 2019 study on the bottom of the graph, and Irena is one of the "golden trio" (Lazard, Irena, BNEF). And it's also LCOE.

> along with battery system

That's one of reasons for my skepticism. You get 14 kWh for $12k for Tesla PowerWall so roughly $850 per 1 kWh. Industrial batteries cost $137 per kWh, so a battery to store daily output from a 5 MW wind tower is $5m.

Code from highly respected F5 enterprise web security appliances basically runs tar as root on input from HTTP at /mgmt/tm/util/bash URL 🤔 And it's 2021.

@epic @lain @mlg @cjd @mithrandir

The URL got garbled - it's about volumes of radioactive elements released with fly ash from coal power plants.

But that's of course not regulated, because coal is "traditionally safe" and this is why Germany preferred to keep coal plants until 2038 😂

Actually, there are few things more harmful than coal ash, especially fly ash. Coal, as anything dug from deep underground, contains a lot of inorganic elements such as arsenic, barium, uranium etc. When burned, all that turns into particulate matter that is then inhaled and migrates from lungs to bloodstream. Then there's all volatile organic carcirogens such as benzopirenes...

I did live in houses with wood/coal oven though and with a proper chimney you don't get much smoke inside. Fuel cycle is the largest pain in the ass here, as you need to continuously bring fuel - coal or wood, usually stored outside, coal is pretty dirty and dusty, then you need to clean ashes, which are even more dirty and dusty etc.

@epic @lain @mlg @cjd @mithrandir

Yes, or made of wood but the key factor is that there's 1) a fireplace inside, 2) no chimney, so the smoke just freely rises inside and exits through a hole in the roof. You are literally being smoked inside, and you breath the smoke all the time.

I didn't live in such huts, just slept ocassionally when hiking in mountains.

I created a monster when I started this thread, something that feels like a month ago 😂 But look, we're having a civilised discussion after all. To be honest Mastodon sucks for this type of multi-thread discussion that forks into specialised subjects. We need a better tool for that 🤔

@epic @lain @mlg @cjd @mithrandir

From first hand experience, cow dung isn't that bad as fuel - yes, I've done that in mountains a few times out of curiosity :) What is really bad for health is burning any solid fuel in a confined space like hut.

And of course if many people are involved, effect of scale kicks in and you end up with vast treeless areas as in Wales because biomass has even worse power density than PV and wind.

@mlg @epic @lain @cjd @mithrandir

A boring digression regarding the "Solar PV module price" - IRENA is LCOE study, and LCOE isn't "price", or even what most people understand as "cost" :)

Wow this beats even the famous German radon baths!

In the times of widespread radiophobia, comes out there's a whole massive market of quackery targeted at fans of all kinds of "natural therapies" - devices that promise "negative ions", "electromagnetic shield" etc.

...which basically are bracelets or tokens filled with... slightly radioactive thorium oxide, with measurable emissions.

I wonder how many of these people call attend anti-nuclear marches 🤔
