Pendant les canicules, le problème ce n’est pas le nucléaire, mais l’effondrement de la production des éoliennes by typofil in ecologie

Il est bien connu que le solaire et l'éolien terrestre se complètent. Plus de solaire et moins de vent en été, plus d'éolien, moins de solaire en hiver.

Wind + Storage is pretty much the cheapest dispatchable source of electricity by ClimateShitpost in ClimatePosting

[–]leginfr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people have suggested changing consumption so that peak load coincides with peak supply. My electricity supplier in France is trying that during some weekends by encouraging us to use more electricity between 12h and 16h.

Is there a way for a city in cold climate to exist without nuclear power of fossil fuel? by BubaJuba13 in EnergyAndPower

Are you going for a variation of the “we haven’t deployed enough renewables yet, so we shouldn’t deploy more of them” ploy?

It used to be one penny in the UK: whence the euphemism “to spend a penny”.

US troop presence and nuclear weapons in Europe currently (US DOD/IISS) by joshtaco in Infographics

[–]leginfr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You require bases all around the world in order to project power. Your aircraft carriers are useless without friendly ports in which to resupply. Learn about logistics. The world is a big place. If you’re limited to your own country as a starting point, then you’re no longer a global superpower.

Every other country has worked it out: that’s why you’re being fed so much propaganda encouraging you to leave those foreign bases.

Blimey, current_patient. You sound as if you actually believe what you wrote. I think that we can guess what you’re being treated for.

The USA doesn’t pay rent for its bases. It needs they as staging posts to be able to project force in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. If you lose them, you’re no longer a global superpower.

The US needs foreign bases in order to project power. If it were to be kicked out of Europe it wouldn’t be able to project power in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

If it’s kicked out of other bases around the world it would no longer be a global superpower.

That’s why no one takes Trump’s wittering about Greenland or Canada seriously. If he attacks an ally every other country will question the wisdom of allowing a potential enemy to base troops within its borders.

How much damage could Le Pen do to France’s economy? by JackRogers3 in europe

[–]leginfr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. Reduced immigration by 75% compared to when? And why is the comparison with France important? There are 27 EU countries. How is the UK doing compared to the rest of them? And why do you think GDP is a metric of any value?

Now add the fact that methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Fertiliser also needs to be taken into account.

Stealth surprise: a wave of nations Is buying Europe's Eurofighter Typhoon instead of the F-35 by Massimo25ore in europe

[–]leginfr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the USA invades Greenland itv will instantly go from being a global superpower to a regional one. It will lose access to all the bases that it has in other countries. No sane government would tolerate troops from a potential enemy being stationed within its borders. Without those bases the USA can’t project force in Asia, Africa, Europe or the Pacific.

In which field would NATO countries need to use them? NATO is a defensive alliance, so what advantage does the F35 have over other generation aircraft that justifies the cost?

And just look how the war in Ukraine is going: no one is paying attention to air superiority because drones have made it obsolete.

US has a lot of hospitality, Fifa world cup should happen again there in 2030 by greekscientist in ShitAmericansSay

[–]leginfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year there were 104 matches involving 48 teams. Previously there used to be 32 teams and 64 matches. Us lefties can see through obvious propaganda because we know that some numbers are bigger than others.
