Germans went for wind. And then they ran out of space to put windmills
its heavily subsidized and in france
Ok
claims
- cost / twh
- deaths / twh
- trust
accounting for lifetime costs, wind and solar are cheapest: <https://www.ucsusa.org/clean-energy/renewable-energy/barriers-to-renewable-energy#.W-s1fN-YVuR> <https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-2017/> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/418850379518705675/642020024625922088/chart-1-finally.png However, if costs over the lifespan of energy projects are taken into account, wind and utility-scale solar can be the least expensive energy generating sources, according to asset management company Lazard. As of 2017, the cost (before tax credits that would further drop the costs) of wind power was $30-60 per megawatt-hour (a measure of energy), and large-scale solar cost $43-53/MWh. For comparison: energy from the most efficient type of natural gas plants cost $42-78/MWh; coal power cost at least $60/MWh.
So does wind and solar. Tons of government intervention in solar and wind
Reminder that mining for materials to make wind and solar tech is more pollutant than nuclear
in every country but the USA and Germany, nuclear power overnight construction costs per kWh stayed flat or declined -- suggesting that the multi-reactor sites and standardized designs of these countries were efficient: <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421516300106> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/418850379518705675/614113743793815624/1-s2.png The metric OCC includes the costs of the direct engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services that the vendors and the architect-engineer team are contracted to provide, as well as the indirect owner’s costs, which include land, site preparation, project management, training, contingencies, and commissioning costs. The OCC excludes financing charges known as Interest During Construction.
from my reading
We shouldn't use death drugs I agree. We should use a rope or a bullet
something like 90% of the emissions growth is projected to be in the developing world
god why does this lady make so many claims
as africa and parts of asia continue to industrialize
so we cant trust the mud people to use nuclear
so solar is the way forward
@actual_communist_boi debate me
Disneyland has permission to build a nuclear plant
not from the state
from their own municipality
c:
which they control
so its kind of not a thing
i'm glad the convo went somewhere else tho
just a big meme
local monopoly does this as well @Rise Again
Boring conversation. Also allowing women to talk is a mistake
you're a woman dana
this doesnt happen with utility companies bc land can only be occupied by 1 thing at a time, it's naturally monopolistic. @Rise Again
Ussr and uk have good healthcare <:watching:644902704388505611> <:watching:644902704388505611> <:watching:644902704388505611>
Dana pls 😭
Lmao at uk having good healthcare just lol
@Danacrag if you wanna debate, debtae
You dont argue with intellectuals, you stab them
Just change tax and subsiding incentives so they build nuclear
I think I get what you're saying.
Currently, the capital investment needed to construct a gas/coal power plant is lower than Nuclear & more profitable, therefor people don't make the investment into Nuclear even though it'd be better in the long term. @Rise Again
So by eating the capital cost, why would you build a coal/gas plant for 1mil if you could build nuclear for free.
am i misunderstanding? @Rise Again
Because I am a girl and so I cant talk about politics
Yes women should cover their heads at all times
