If Putin get replaced and the war stops everyone in Russia will look back to the “good old days” when Russia was strong and could fight a war and have money. Then the cycle will repeat. It’s just moving money from tomorrow to today, on the surface today looks like the economy is strong.
It can be more than one thing.
People are certainly getting away with shopping lifting and believing others do. So they think why shouldn’t I or why shouldn’t I do it more.
Lots of videos on the internet now of people just taking stuff and walking out.
I was going to say the same thing. But you should get one with USB ports built in. That way you can use a plug and use the USB charging.
Test it at home. Years ago I had one that nearly burnt the room down when someone charged their phone at the same time as me. 1 was fine.
Honestly in this age of over cautious health and safety it’s complete madness easily quantifiable permanent damaging volume is allowed.
Like even a warning and free earplugs are not given. Nothing.
“Here you go children. You pay we will give you a life long disability.”
The analysis of the piece is the educational purpose not the piece itself. Just like as mentioned Shakespeare. Are you suggesting I should use Shakespeare as to understand modern politics?
Grapes of wrath means nothing to be because I haven’t read it. If there is any important facts within it then they will stand alone.
Otherwise the argument for reading it is the same as the argument of “do your own research”.
Provide something of note or don’t bother. Reading a fiction book isn’t my way of learning about the world and I don’t think it should be yours.
It’s not ideal as it’s more expensive than alternatives, and slower. I’m not making the decision so it doesn’t matter.
But i will say Australia just made the decision that nuclear has no place and China built a lot of nuclear then stopped and started rolling out renewables.
Not really, no. I have heard people mention it.
I think some children have read it in school as guided learning. But it doesn’t seem to have much value because people never seem to have gained any knowledge from the book that they mention so I see no reason to read it. No argument or fact is ever generated from people reading the book and bring it up.
Largely I come across is when people mentioned they have read it and have some knowledge how to be critical of it as parroted by some education curriculum. But is seems more of a English project like when I read Shakespeare and was asked what the author meant, rather than something based on science or economics with ideas and knowledge to be learnt.
Externalities and funding are both concepts in capitalism yes.
You can even treat the countries being developing capital. China has invested heavily in renewable capital. They are going to use that capital to make profit.
Say your power supply is 100 low power and 150 high power demand. Giving a need of 50 difference.
If you build Nuclear at say 80. It will give a remanding demand of 20 low power and 70 high power. But the difference remains 50. Nuclear doesn’t solve the issue of supply matching demand in anyway.
EV’s are going to weigh a lot. Lithium will probably be the main usage in cars. But really the solution is less cars. Need trains.
Running a country exclusively on renewables comes with its own costs in storage and emergency solutions
I agree but I think that route will give lower cost, quicker roll out and less co2
What no one wants to accept is too many people on too little land. The earth is barely holding on.
The soil is on it’s deathbed and we got a feeding tube keeping it going. Sure it will keep going. But at what cost.
You need storage to cover when demand does not match supply. Nuclear doesn’t reduce the difference between supply and demand. It has no flexibility so makes no meaningful difference to storage.
Lithium isn’t that rare. Sodium batteries are being manufactured today.
Hydrogen manufacturing is super inefficient.
Its a question of cost and time. You could run a country on nuclear but its far cheaper and quicker to do it with renewables. But pushing for something that isn’t really a viable solution nuclear and hydrogen. It delays uptake of the real solution which is wind, solar and batteries.
Solar, wind and batteries has no greenhouse gas emissions at a fraction of price and fraction of the time to built. Australia did an analysis of this recently and said their is no reason to built any nuclear at all.
Nuclear is pushed by the oil and companies because it will slow transition away from oil and gas. Same as hydrogen, way worse than batteries and also made by fossil fuels at the moment. But by pushing for that it slows the transition away from things that actually work. Namely, solar wind and batteries.
Flexibility at a huge huge cost and great inefficiency. Like I said no upsides over alternatives.
How?
One company doesn’t sell a product consumers want to buy so their sales go down.
One company does sell a product consumers want to buy so their sales go up.
How’s that’s not capitalism?
Far too expensive, far too inflexible, far too long to build.
They have no upsides on any metric.
Toyota who got famous for being agile and lean and making just in time manufacturing and continuously improving every aspect of the business.
They then basically run a real world experiment and start fucking around with electric (well hybrid) cars. The results of which are positive, they sell very well, get a lot of publicity and good reviews.
And what do they do. Ignore their entire philosophy, all their data, everything the company is built and and decide “the way we have always done it is best”.
Ohno Taiichi must be rolling in his grave.
Toyota fucked themselves.
But if capitalism shows us anything its that if the big companies don’t adapt and change quickly some small start up is going to blow them out of the water and make them cease to exist.
No matter how hot a woman is someone somewhere is tired of her shit.
Option 2. Don’t have kids break up with her. Be happy about it, thank God it is finally over. Then think back on how great the sex was and miss her for the rest of your life.
The hot crazy matrix
Europe really should be expanding it’s offshore wind resources faster.
But the demand for gas is only going to go one way.
Not sure if murder is the same as protecting children and families.
But that’s not to say murder isn’t unjustified ever.
But it’s good to see people valuing things over money and public opinion. So many people are just trying to stand for nothing.
The renewables revolution has really moved into the storage part of the equation.
But the pace seems like it isn’t going to slow anything.
