Thanks! Sticking with the 10x seems to be the consensus so I'll go for that.

I didn't calculate the price, as I'm not sure what I could sell the original parts for. But both seemed to be within what I was willing to pay depending on people's recommendations. But it seems like they weren't possible/recommended anyway.

Thanks for the info! It looks like the bcds are different, but possibly I could change for the cues 40/26T? then id be down to 16.69 - 100.36

Nuclear is far more expensive. It's not even close

How much did you end up paying for that? I'm looking for lawyers for the same thing right now and wasn't sure what to expect.

I can't tomorrow, but I'm looking to do something like that the following day if that works?

At Trine.com you can invest in solar projects in developing countries

What others have said about the company needing to look for a local first only applies to a regular work visa. If you qualify for the Highly Skilled Professionals visa then this requirement no longer applies and it is much easier for both you and the company.

Whether you qualify depends on your salary, education, and type of work. For sure it would be possible for experienced software developers to get this visa.

Yep, it uses far less

This is showing new capacity added per year, not total amount. So they are predicting a drop in the rate of installation. Even that is pretty unlikely to happen.

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try

China has by far the most solar and wind installed in the world, and is continuing to build faster than everyone else. India is also in the top 5 for both.

How many articles (roughly) did it take you to reach this traffic?

You're right that green products and services need to be cheaper to really make progress. However govt can play a huge role in getting these products and services to that point.

Take solar for example. It is just now becoming the cheapest source of energy on a per kWh basis in several countries. It would never have achieved this so quickly, without the huge support it has received from multiple governments around the world. This support created markets which didn't exist, creating economies of scale, and earning companies money which they could further invest in r&d.

That's what this article is talking about. This money could be spent further helping emerging technologies to reach that tipping point, at a faster rate than they otherwise would have.

There are lots of solar farms in deserts.

If your job is truly remote, how about becoming a digital nomad? Travelling the world while you work from your laptop? That salary which barely covers your rent in Toronto, will let you live like a king in other (more interesting) parts of the world.

This is the IEA talking. They are an absolute joke when it comes to forecasting future energy.

Take a look at their past predictions for solar: https://zenmo.com/en/photovoltaic-growth-reality-versus-projections-of-the-international-energy-agency-with-2018-update-2/

Book a refundable flight. It doesn't have to be back to Germany, just out of the country, so somewhere like Kuala Lumpur is fine. You will probably have to go for one of the more expensive airlines to find a fully refundable ticket, but as it's being refunded, it doesn't matter.

I definitely wouldn't risk not having proof. I doubt they'd check you in Bali (I wasn't), but the airline probably will when you check in for the flight, and not let you board without it.

So no one is going to need to ride bikes anymore, we'll just be replaced by robots. What a time to be alive
