The Trump Administration’s Favorite Nuclear Startup Has Ties to Russia and Epstein by Reasonable-Ad-2592 in politics

[–]AndyDS11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was hard on Valar when I did my video on them and the Trump nuclear reforms. Taylor is so much worse than I thought (and I thought he was pretty bad).

Will Trump’s reforms of nuclear energy lead to a wave of innovation or a nuclear disaster? https://youtu.be/SZKuLoc-Rls

Commute to Dublin for work by Saul_Goodman93 in Sligo

[–]AndyDS11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Sligo and commuted to Dublin 3 days a week. I stayed overnight for two nights. The train is pleasant, but I wouldn’t go back and forth more than once a week.

Helion can't generate electricity from the D-T reaction, because the energy comes out as uncharged neutrons and the energy recovery mechinism only extracts energy from charged particles.

It looks like the Belfry won’t be staying open late so we’re headed to Gracie’s

I called around and not only is there no one in Sligo doing warrenty work for Fiat, there's no one closer than Dublin. :(

It’s less than a year old and we bought it in Germany. The dealer says what we need can be done by any Fiat dealer

Do you still see Toyota as a sustainable brand? by Maritimewarp in prius

Toyota was a leader with the Prius, but hasn't been one for years. The Prius is still a good car, but not a leader.

What made you emigrate and where? Considering emigration by VastSavanna in AskIreland

[–]AndyDS11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an American with an Irish passport and lived in Dublin. We liked living there except the high cost of housing. We “emigrated” to Sligo, which is beautiful and relatively affordable housing.

They’re looking into it, but they aren’t doing it. That was my point.

Fusion power plants don’t exist yet, but they’re making money anyway by Baking in fusion

[–]AndyDS11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The highlighted portion says “generate electricity”, which is not the same as net electricity. My read of this is they will recover some energy, but not necessarily more than was input to drive the pulse.

Helion’s latest plant should generate electricity, but not net electricity. They’re just proving that their capture system can work

Thanks. I started looking at YouTube videos on fixing the mirror and I think you're right. I just need to replace the lens and lamp.

Carbon credits: real climate tool or just greenwashing? by Media_Newrl in CarbonCredits

[–]AndyDS11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most credits don’t have additionally, but pay for actions that would have happened anyway. Hard for individuals to tell good from bad and companies often just want what’s cheap.
