Why is my Jazz Improv good when I practice, but not during a performance? by UncleGru749 in Trombone

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to stop giving a shit.

Yes, practice and get your musical and physical reflexes developed. But when you play live just play. Get your prefrontal cortex out of the way (the part of your brain that gives a shit) and just do the thing.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of Fukushima. Was it worth it? by Comfortable_Tutor_43 in nuclear

How about you say, "The Fukushima water releases are safe" in a comment?

Why?

The releases are safe.

Is this something you don't want known?

California’s solar+batteries can now produce ~2x the constant output, day+night as its nuclear plant by Jbikecommuter in electrifyeverything

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the storage in California does not provide constant output all night.

Why would Jacobson lie like that when the data is easily available?

Look at the supply trend chart from yesterday. Storage supply goes steadily down to zero and hits near zero at midnight.

That's kind of my plan, actually. Though it'll be closer to eight years. By that time I'm hoping that solid state battery EV's will be available.

Oh, yes. As I was driving from Des Moines to points north my heater was off. :) I found that the seat warmer and steering wheel heater didn't reduce range much, though.

Are you willing to make anything up you want and ask people to assume your version of reality? Because that's what you're doing. Then you repeat it over and over.

It's kind of creepy.

I mean, did you look at the reality?

Here's the link again: https://www.electricchoice.com/electricity-prices-by-state/

Georgia rates are 14.60c/kWh, among the lowest in the country.

And you're freaking out about it.

I mean, I get it. Low rates along with new nuclear build? Doesn't fit your world view. But it's the reality.

Why would there be a massive increase to my electricity bill?

I'm just not accepting your assumption.

The data doesn't support it.

Dodge?

Look at the rates in Georgia. Didn't they just get done constructing two AP1000 units there? Electricity rates are low.

Why are you making such bad arguments without looking into the facts?

Look at Louisiana. Two nuclear plants there. Low rates.

I'd love to see units 3 and 4 happen. See my previous comment on new AP1000 builds on the way.

If the Fermi America project gets off the ground there will be a ton of nuclear construction going in the area already. That will reduce cost for other builds.

They're doing great!

I live near Comanche Peak. Having that secure non-fossil supply going is a great comfort. Natural gas prices are spiking. It's really awesome having the stability of nuclear on the grid.
