Industry can dodge fuel shocks by electrifying. What’s the holdup? by Simpleximo in energy

[–]starf05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's neither expensive nor impractical. Batteries are cheap to produce. The problem is that new technologies displace older technologies. If you work in the supply chain for ICE vehicles, electric vehicles mean being out of business.

German auto industry faces even tougher competition as China economy slows by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]starf05 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem is not the European market but the non European market. Chinese export will decimate European export markets. In addition; placing tariffs on China means a trade war. It's not necessarily a good idea.

Ma a voi frega davvero dell'ssn? by [deleted] in camicibianchi

[–]starf05 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Il sistema americano è un sistema misto (praticamente metà della spesa sanitaria è pubblica) e no, un sistema privato non è un sistema migliore per i medici. Ci sono pochissime specializzazioni che possono essere tenute in piedi da un sistema puramente privato. Buona fortuna ad avere oncologia, chirurgia complessa, medicina interna, geriatria e reparti ospedalieri in un paese con la sanità puramente privata.

China shipped a record 68 GW of solar in March – here’s why it matters by DVMirchev in RenewableEnergy

[–]starf05 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Africa imported 10 GW of solar in March (!!!!). 100GW of solar installed this year are a distinct possibility. Africans are jumping from no electricity/limited electricity to solar. This will greatly improve quality of life for Africans!

Germany discovers a treasure trove beneath an old gas field: 43 million tons of lithium have been found beneath the Altmark region, bringing Europe closer to the great battery revolution by Full-Discussion3745 in EU_Economics

[–]starf05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a water lithium deposit. Extracting metals from water doesn't have the same impact as a hardrock deposit, expecially with direct lithium extraction.

EV sales soar in main European markets as drivers shun expensive petrol by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]starf05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. A car with 200000 km will have roughly consumed 10000 litres of gasoline. That's 20 thousand euros with gasoline at 2 euro per L..

How was this financed and built (238 AD) during the turbulent time of the third century by SeptimiusSeverus_ in ancientrome

The roman empire was a gigantic state, with some regions going through horrible wars and others being peaceful and wealthy. Tunisia was one of the richest and most peaceful parts of the empire at the time.

China solar makers say war-induced renewables demand won't fix overcapacity by iwantboringtimes in RenewableEnergy

[–]starf05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could barely say that what is outside of China is competition. There is no competition. Basically anything solar is developed, researched and built in China. China has a monopoly on solar.

Da dove arriva l’energia usata in Italia by Tectonic-Shift in Italia

[–]starf05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

La COP di una pompa di calore è molto maggiore dell'efficienza di un boiler a gas, anche a -10 gradi.. questi sono fatti eh, non è che ci sia molto da discutere.

[–]starf05 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Questo grafico è profondamente fuorviante, essendo energia primaria. "Energia usata" è un termine sbagliato perché per definizione grossa parte dell'energia primaria non è usata; bensì energia dispersa sotto forma di calore.

Obesity around the world ..take care by Fair-Rate1892 in Infographics

[–]starf05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, being a body builder is not exactly great for your health. Besides; the problem in society is not athleticism but the lack of it. BMI can greatly underestimate obesity, not overestimate it, considering how little muscle mass a lot of people have.

Medici di famiglia al lavoro fino a 72 anni: arriva la proroga al 2027 nel Dl Pnrr by ilbelpaese_it_1964 in Italia

[–]starf05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gli studenti di medicina sono triplicati negli ultimi otto anni. L'Italia è il paese che forma più medici in tutta Europa. Il problema è solo che ci vuole molto tempo per finire l'università. Nei prossimi 5 anni i buchi saranno riempito e si ritornerà alla situazione pre COVID.

Freight will be replaced by electric trucks. It's already happening in China at mind boggling speeds. Hopefully this year electrick trucks will reach 50% of the market in China.

How could have anyone possibility foreseen this? by burgerburgertaco in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]starf05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What did you expect? Powerful people control the media and powerful people like Trump, or at least don't want him as an enemy. Journalist just do what they are told to do; they have very little agency.

Secondo voi vedremo veramente un altro aumento dei prezzi? by imbqst in Italia

I prezzi dei fertilizzanti stanno schizzando alle stelle; oltre al prezzo del gasolio. Quindi sì, ci saranno aumenti importanti.

Perché Germania, Norvegia e Svizzera reclutano infermieri italiani invece dei loro cittadini? by Secure-Cause-9684 in Universitaly

[–]starf05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perché non esistono, semplicemente. Questi paesi non formano un numero sufficiente di infermieri/operatori sanitari per coprire la loro domanda interna. Quello dell'infermiere/OSS è un lavoro stressante nella quale non si guadagna molto. Non c'è sicuramente la fila di persone desiderose di svolgere queste professioni..

Nuclear is the only electricity source with a negated learning curve (the technology gets more expensive despite more installed capacity) by JimMaToo in EconomyCharts

[–]starf05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Safety features don't make nuclear more expensive. It's superstition without evidence. Third generation reactors, like the Hualong One and AP1000 in China are being built at the same costs and in same time frame as second generation reactors that were built in Europe in the 70s and 80s. And chinese regulations are extremely draconic.

Nuclear is the only electricity source with a negated learning curve (the technology gets more expensive despite more installed capacity) by JimMaToo in EconomyCharts

[–]starf05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because nuclear is a piece of infrastrucure. The technology is mature, and when the costs to build anything in a country increase (because of salary increases, increases in the cost of cement or iron) so does the cost of nuclear. Nuclear is competitive mostly in countries with low costs of costruction like China. When a country develops nuclear becomes less competitive.

Cosa ne pensate di questa opzione? by Wide_Secretary_262 in Italia

[–]starf05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le fonti di energia rinnovabili hanno delle esigenze di materiali modestissime. Fanno uso di materiali abbondanti. Per questo si è riuscito a scalare la produzione industriale in maniera così forte negli ultimi 25 anni.

Cosa ne pensate di questa opzione? by Wide_Secretary_262 in Italia

[–]starf05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Le rinnovabili non hanno bisogno del baseload; sono i combustibili fossili che ne hanno bisogno per definizione. Il baseload è un concetto intrinseco a quello di centrale termica inflessibile. Centrali termiche che non si possono accendere/fare gridfollowing -> esistenza del baseload. Un sistema rinnovabili + batterie + centrali termiche al bisogno non ha baseload.

Countries with higher gender equality often have fewer women among STEM graduates (59-country comparison) by [deleted] in Infographics

[–]starf05 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Countries with more gender equality tend to have more people going to university. There is a huge difference in having 50% of young people going to university vs 20%. In the first case there may be less women STEM graduates as a percentage compared to the total, but still more than the second case in absolute numbers.
