They're the only planes that can carry the biggest bunker buster massive ordinance penetrator.
Sources? Anyway, to get a good sized grid to smooth out intermittency, you'll need to connect all Europe or more. I think there's already some of that, but the longer distances you go, the more loss. I agree pumped hydro is a good option, but the promising sites tend to be quite limited when you try to scale up to a full grid. Plus the ecological concerns that come with dams need to be weighed too.
Finite resource goes for battery minerals even more so, and solar production capacity is also limited.
Agree on offshore wind, but it's also got intermittency.
You can save money with solar and batteries, but only after about 30 years. That's a much longer payback time than any other forms like nuclear. Plus you wouldn't have representative grid loads overnight.
The costs you cited are just for the panel electricity, not taking into account any storage.
Right now it costs about $400/kwh. You'll need about 12 hours storage to cover over night, which means about $50k/kw. If the lifespan is 20 years, (which is generous) that means the added cost is 28 cents per kwh just for the storage. I'm sure the batteries will get more efficient, but they will also be in more demand, so that price could go up or down.
Do you have better numbers showing 100% solar is cheaper than nuclear? Why is nuclear bad? It's less deaths than even wind energy and is a proven technology to minimize emissions. Why limit yourself?
I have no idea. But maybe the gravitational location would appear to asymptotically approach the event horizon similar to how light from an object would appear to just approach the horizon and then stay there.
I'll need substantiation on the cheaper. Batteries are expensive! And transmission loses get excessive after very long to distances.
Batteries plus solar to equal a constant output power is much more expensive than nuclear. It's when you have other sources that you can have less storage that solar gets cheaper.
It's still to be determined if at a 90% renewable grid whether adding nuclear or wind/solar will be cheaper. You'll need a whole lot more energy storage the closer you get to 100% intermittent renewable, so having some reliable base load with nuclear is likely cheaper.
You have your profile set to public? Why not just share with your friends?
If you insist. Would you be so kind as to stop commenting on my comment then as well?
Why do you do this?
Why?
For the 100th anniversary in 1954, Sylvania set this picture up with thousands of flash bulbs.

Apparently the fireworks were added in post.
So many Doritos to choose from.
Interesting plane spotted over Chengdu, looks like a side by side seated trijet.

XiaoHao2 took these pics and videos from across the China boarder with a dgi drone in 2020. They uploaded just recently. Here's some more pics
OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.
For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.
I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.
I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.
Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!
As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)
This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.
Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

These mini castles were built all over the city.
The reasons for the construction of so many towers are not clear. One hypothesis is that the richest families used them for offensive/defensive purposes during the period of the Investiture Controversy.
Only a few survive to the current day.

They did some testing with it, but I don't think it is fully qualified.
