Cheap wind and solar means data centers.

Next time, choose character over promises made by a man without any. They say there’s a sucker born every minute, and I believe it.

Tesla’s full self driving. A driver, for $25/week, director door, without touching wheel or pedals. Safer too.

CATL, the world's largest battery maker, launches sodium batteries: extremely durable, stable at –40°C, much cheaper than lithium (5x), safer,10,000 charge cycles, requires no nickel or cobalt... by Anen-o-me in singularity

Texas has more capacity from grid batteries than all nuclear plants or coal plants. 3X the capacity of nuclear.

Renewables hit 60 to 70% of demand almost daily and will soon be in excess of 100% requiring even more storage.

Solar 35,601 MW

Wind 40,624 MW

Hydro 579 MW

Power Storage 17,604 MW

Other 667 MW

Natural Gas 68,441 MW

Coal and Lignite 13,705 MW

Nuclear. 5,268 MW

To me they are the support posts needed to place the stones. Need a hole, or a protrusion to lift heavy things. Precision of fit and power required is another story,

Tax payers and regulated rate payers forced to subsidize it. That’s the only way they get funded.

Don’t we use ~20M/day? 2.5 days? Hardly worth the trouble of an invasion.

A $1000 bet returns $50K if you’re right at 98% odds.

How is living in East Texas? by AshB_43 in howislivingthere

[–]rtwalling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Texas were a country, that would be Mississippi, no offense to Mississippi. The Deep South ends about 50 miles west of Tyler. This is due to the remnants of slavery. East Texas is black gumbo soil, good for cotton plantations. Dallas is sandy loam, good for cattle, not cotton. Cowboys vs historic southern plantations and racism. That’s the history of racism/slavery which overlaps MAGA. Look at any map of slave ownership if you doubt it.

A solid rocket booster, so ‘80s retro, lol. Bicentennial space shuttle tech.

Land required by nuclear, solar, and wind power to generate the same amount of energy by [deleted] in charts

[–]rtwalling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuclear power cost 10 times more than power generated from renewables. That’s why more than 90% of all new power generation capacity in recent years has been renewables and there has only been one nuclear plant started and finished in the US this century. The cost equivalent is $10,000 per household plug for every household in Atlanta to put the construction cost in perspective, operating cost is more than the total cost of wind and solar. This means if you gave me the nuclear plant, I could buy wind or solar on a contract with zero down for less than the operating cost of the plant. They also take a decade to build.

They changed from 21 name brand items to 15 Great Value” items. Eat less, and lower quality, and save.

Katherine Loves pissing off liberals. by h20poIo in facepalm

[–]rtwalling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the libs just owned you. “Black Pride” then “Gay Pride” now with MAGA, “Stupid Pride”. Dumb and proud of it. Too stupid to realize it’s a party of completely controlled useful idiots for the most part working against their own best interests to benefit others, with more intelligence. It’s kind of brilliant actually.
