I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”- Percy Shelley

Well, grid battery storage is using LFP batteries that don’t actually have any of those expensive and dangerous materials.
Second, OP isn’t talking about solar, they’re saying solar and storage is cheapest. The cost of batteries is dropping like a rock, and we even have sodium batteries ramping up production and available for sale right now. They don’t contain anything valuable.
Nuclear would get cheaper if we were manufacturing dozens of plants each year, but economies of scale work for solar and battery production too. It’s not a magical advantage unique to nuclear. Batteries got something like 30% cheaper last year.
A nuclear plant that we started building today would maybe be up and running by 2035, and it’d be expected to operate until 2075 or so. Even if you make a case for nuclear vs 2024’s solar and storage, it’d actually be up against 2035’s solar and storage on opening day. And it’d need to be competitive vs solar and storage for its entire lifetime. It isn’t.
While nuclear has traditionally been government owned and operated, so was the power grid and telephones. Any new nuclear is going to bring in private investment and non-government ownership like Hinkley Point C did, and they’re going to want those corporate profits.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
The key purpose of this policy is NOT to build nuclear power plants. It is to block solar/wind, storage and pumped hydro and to drain all investment in them.
It’s not a coincidence that they started pushing for nuclear after they lost government and wouldn’t be expected to actually implement it. While they were in government and able to act, they were pushing for government funded coal plants.

I think we’re going to see a lot more done on the demand management side, too.
As we get more electric cars on the grid, that’s a ton of demand that you can just turn off for a while and nobody would notice or care.
- Comment on Conservative politicians stoking Australia Day debate online with paid ads, analysis finds 3 months ago:
It’s not like their real policy of “rich people should get richer” is going to get them a lot of votes from 90% of the population, so they need something to pretend to stand for to bring in the votes.
- Comment on You guys need to stop 5 months ago:
No, you actually can’t.
For safety reasons, the 400V main battery isn’t hardwired to the car. There’s a couple of contactors powered by the 12V battery that connect it to the car.
If your 12V battery dies, the contactors open and the car is completely dead. You have to jump it or replace the 12V battery, then the contactors pull in, then the main battery can start charging the 12V.
Even plugging it in doesn’t work - the car won’t take a charge if the electronics are dead.
If the main battery is dead but the 12V hasn’t died yet, you can try regenning down a hill or plugging in or whatever. But if you lose the 12V, the car’s bricked.

electric cars are all automatic
They aren’t, really. They don’t actually change gears, if you want to go backwards you spin the motor backwards.

- Comment on Nowadays, on certain games and game launchers, you can play the game before its fully downloaded. How is possible? 7 months ago:
You can also do things like using the smaller models and textures from the games low quality mode and switch to the big, high quality ones later when they’ve downloaded.

having a community help you with your games and find bugs is beautiful and probably pretty fucking cool for devs.
That’s all well and fine for free open source projects, but products that expect me to pay money for them need to pay contributors. I’m not donating my time and effort so that some shareholder can buy another yacht.

Also, Intel are going pretty hard with driver updates and fixes. I’m really hoping they make it, we need more competition.
The main issue is probably nobody works with Intel to do any testing before launch.

They are, but not quickly enough.
Ten years ago we got the Nissan Leaf, and now you can buy cars with 2x the range for almost half the price.
- Comment on full tank 🚗 9 months ago:
Some have cooling liquid for the battery and electrical components. Some blow cold air over the battery.
And then there’s the Nissan Leaf, which just lets the battery cook, knowing that it probably won’t die before the warranty is up.
Though it’s a bit more complicated than that - sometimes you want to heat the battery or the passenger cabin, and sometimes you want to heat one thing while cooling the other. A good thermal control system can handle moving heat around as well as getting rid of it or taking it from the surrounding air.
