It means get off your lazy ass and quit that dead end job. Start your own business selling chia underwear. You can't afford the startup costs? Just get a couple mil loan from your dad.

She knows her ruling is fucking stupid. All she is saying is "I'm gonna try not to get killed by some extremist while this gets appealed to higher courts."
Isn't this the definition of contempt of court?
When they're a) white and b) political allies.
It only applies to publicly traded companies, which tend to be beholden to the "woke, oppressive majority" of society. Private companies would remain free to funnel unlimited funds to their choice of shithead.
The nameplate cost of this plant is $32 per watt. Even at smaller scales, utility-scale solar plants are $1 per watt. Do you know how many grid storage batteries you could buy with the extra $31 per watt? (6 hour storage is around $2.50 per watt or $.40/Wh.) You could build a solar plant 4x the nameplate capacity of the nuke (in order to match the capacity factor), and add 24 hours of storage to make it fully dispatchable, and still have enough money left over to build 2 more of the same thing. This doesn't even include the fact the nuclear has fuel costs, waste disposal, higher continued operational costs, and unaccounted publicly involuntarily subsidized disaster insurance.
Because other drivers are blinded...
Tens of thousands of innocents dead? Uh.. No. I would think there were far more effective methods that should have been used.
Newsom dialing back the progressivism for his presidential run.
Battery storage is already cheaper than nuclear.
I want everything to be toggle switches. If I could get a keyboard made of 105 classic toggle switches it would be worth the effort to type with it.
The IEA is a bad joke that has been notoriously wrong in its projections for decades. Nobody in the industry takes them seriously.
It smells and feels awful, though.
This take is so incredibly ignorant of history and reality I can't even...
Then look at the data. Vogtle was just completed for over $30/watt. You could build solar with 16x the nameplate capacity and 24 hours of lithium battery storage to make it baseload for that same amount.
I see you haven't met the Lemmy fake-communists yet
You could build an entirely new solar, wind, and battery supply chain from the mines to the factories in a quarter of the time it takes to build a single nuclear plant.
Except throughout the history of nuclear power it has always gotten more expensive, regardless of time period, learning curve, adoption curve, or any other variable you care to consider. Solar, wind, and batteries have always gotten cheaper and continue to do so.
Yeah the poster above you is wrong. Solar is WAY less than half the price.
Yeah, it's almost impossible to build with bricks in California. (Earthquakes)
I had lead when I was a kid and I turned out just fine!
Because it doesn't go to the military. It goes to the MIC.
It's unfortunate that Israeli propaganda has been unrelentingly conflating jewishness and israeliness. A real disservice to Jews everywhere.
Habit started out so good and now it tastes like 'optimized supply chains' like all the other shit places.
Hydro is often turned on and off as pumped storage. Nuclear never is
They have 17 kids.
Out of those you listed, nuclear is the least flexible in terms of output regulation. PV with batteries is the most flexible.
oyo
You can build entirely new solar supply chains from mining through manufacturing faster than a single new nuclear plant.
Why could they not overrule that finding? That's literally what appeals to higher courts are for.
People have a hard-on about nuclear being "baseload" power and renewables being intermittent. Solar/wind plus batteries to add dispatchability is a valid comparison to nuclear if you only want to talk about baseload.
Even current lithium-based battery storage is already cheaper than nuclear.
How does 16, 14, or 12 AWG tell you anything about ampacity?
This is due to corporate greed. Solar and wind are the cheapest sources of energy in the history of the world.
There's a difference between an ill-advised third party run and collusion with Russia. Stein is mentioned once in this article with zero evidence of a connection.
Did Russia try to unilaterally boost Stein's campaign (along with all third party candidates)? Likely.
Should Stein have dropped out if she knew this? No.
Should Stein have dropped out because she was contributing to Trump's win? Yes.
Come on... You can hate Stein all you want for being a spoiler, but there is zero evidence she has any connection to Putin.
Solar plus batteries are already cheaper than nuclear, and only going down. Nuclear has always gotten more expensive over time. For the cost of the most recently completed nuclear plant in the US they could have built 12 times the nameplate capacity worth of solar with 24 hours of battery backup. (A totally unnecessary amount of dispatchability.)
Solar and batteries easily "pay" for their manufacturing carbon emissions within 1-2 years max (as does nuclear). This payback period only goes down as the grid gets greener.
