i can’t imagine ordering a fucking hot dog delivery from anywhere, costco or not. what’s next PB&J?

my utility does bill admin fees monthly. I pay them about $8 per month to be on the grid even though my net usage is negative.

i didn’t say they shouldn’t increase taxes at all. the point is they keep implementing taxes that disproportionately impact lower and middle class people.

i mean france has passed similarly draconian taxes before that caused riots.

it’s not just private entities, the majority of the global fossil fuel industry is nationalized.

can’t read the article but does the author suggest an alternative? bit silly to complain without that.

i mean, that is still a metaphor.

yes i know that, genius. the point is that is not an argument people are using for nuclear. it’s a blatant straw man from someone clearly not engaging in a goood faith discussion.

another big selling point of nuclear is it’s easy to drop in at old coal plants that already have grid connections ready to go.

pretending today’s limitations are permanent is a strange way to plan tomorrow’s energy system.

how long are you willing to wait for perfect energy storage?

obviously battery tech will improve, but the point is we cannot afford to assume that problem will be solved 100%, meanwhile experiencing more and more irreversible damage to our environment. We need to put our eggs into all clean energy baskets to get off CO2 as soon as possible. Not whenever battery tech happens to be ready to handle everything.

nobody gets bonus points for glowing in the dark.

where the fuck did anybody say that?

The real bottleneck now is grids and storage.

And turns out nuclear has a few competitive advantages over solar. They are both great and serve different purposes.
