They didn’t try. They did one then it was years before episode 2.

You have to actually make episodes before declaring it a failure.

Yes you have to build for worst case. That’s what I already said.

You are comparing overbuilt nuclear but acting like bess can’t be over built too. That’s why the cost of storage is the only important metric.

You need an absolute minimum of 2 nuclear reactors to be reliable (Belgium has 7). That doubles the cost of nuclear. But it doesn’t matter because that’s factored in when you look at levelized cost. You look at cost per MWhr. How reliability is achieved doesn’t matter.

Bess is $200 per MWhr.

I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!

I have no idea what that is.

It looks at the cost of power generation

Yes.

But then you added the requirement of 90% uptime which is isn’t how a grid works. For example a coal generator only has 85% uptime yet your power isn’t out 4 hours a day every day.

Nuclear reactors are out of service every 18-24 months for refueling. Yet you don’t lose power for days because the plant has typically two reactors and the grid is designed for those outages.

So the only issue is cost per megawatt. You need 2 reactors for nuclear to be reliable. That’s part of the cost. You need extra bess to be reliable. That’s part of the cost.

Deport Melania, and the anchor baby. Oh, I forgot, immigration law doesn’t apply to Republicans.

It’s a toilet and a shower.

This is old news now! Here’s a link from 5 years ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/07/01/new-solar--battery-price-crushes-fossil-fuels-buries-nuclear/

This is from last year: https://www.lazard.com/research-insights/2023-levelized-cost-of-energyplus/

As to uptime, they have the same legal requirements as all utilities.

I was pro nuke until finding out solar plus grid battery was cheaper.

Solar with Battery grid storage is now cheaper than nuclear.

Unfounded for the main cause

Which means not usually.

That it could be caused doesn’t mean it is usually caused.

Unfounded means it isn’t usually. It means there is no correlation. It’s not usually.

But the person didn’t say he remembered nothing. He said half the time he didn’t remember what friends talked about. Another person said they were fuzzy on their childhood.

You told both that wasn’t normal and suggested childhood trama. Being slightly to one side of a normal distribution curve doesn’t mean anything.

Being able to remember everything from your past is extremely rare.

Every ten times you search for dice it puts one vote in the dm category. The next time you need to search 100 times.

You would forget most everything. Even big events would become fuzzy. Do you remember what you had for lunch on this date when you were 5?

“Well I read in a book that I was there. I can’t actually remember more than a few hundred years back.”

Ashildr from Doctor Who was brilliant.

I fenced in college against people with slightly longer arms and just that minor difference put me at a huge disadvantage.

At close range the spear becomes a staff which can block the knife and give a concussion thwack.

Banks are nothing if not efficient.

Banks are businesses made up of people. If a manager thought he could get a promotion by supporting a blockchain project at the height of blockchain mania, that’s what he would do. Whether if fails or not is of no consequence, the manager is already on another project.

You must have an interesting social life that every time you hook up, all past relationships immediately contact each other and vote on whether you are a cheater.
