Wind and solar are nowhere as expensive or taking a long time as nuclear. We decarbonise because it makes sense for our economy. We cannot do this overnight but over the next 25 years is very manageable.

you can see on your graph that the trend has changed in the past. Price of solar panels have come down because of technological improvement, especially in reducing the cost of monocrystalin silicon. Perovskites will now take up from there. At CES 2025, a few companies have added perovskites to...

We should keep in mind that most of the electricity is used to produce goods for the rest of the worls. Compare that 70GW with 1.4TW plus of current installed capacity in renewables. China is doubling renewables every 1-2 years.

We are doing well in decarbonising our economy and should meet our target of net zero in 2050. The whole world is making the same efforts, some faster than others. China is the fastest, followed by the EU and USA. There is good and neutral information here...

I bet you can't locate any in the uk, nor in sweden, portugal, belgium and austria. Ireland and Spain won't have any by the end of the year. The EU is also phasing out coal fired power stations. They will be all gone in 10 years.

US EU trade deficit was $131bn in 2023. Trump wasn't precise but he got the gist of it right. Europeans don't want their inferior foods. Still, if tariff war starts, the damages can be several times the deficits that Trump wants to rectify.

When it stops to be very profitable like it is at the moment, there is investment going in. As soon as renewables can provide all the electricity we need, I bet government will allow civil actions against petrol companies for all the harm burning fossil has done. Money will dry up, the oil will...

Yes, Obiwan.

There will still be a small amout of oil and gas but more and more difficult to reach in such places as Greenland and Antartica. Renewables are already much cheaper than burning gas and oil for electricity generation, it won't be long before investment in oil will dry up and get displaced toward...

That's only true if Trump weren't the president. He's so obsessed with the US trade deficit that he has started the tariff war. In order for the Dollar to be used for trade, you have to encourage people to see the dollar is safe. That's not what Trump is doing. He has already upset the G7...

Do you know that oil and gas will run out in about 50 years? It's a shame that coal and oil can only form during a very special period in the planet's history: the carboniferous period. It will never come again. Once all the oil is burnt, that is it. The air will then be cleaner than now.

that came as no surprised. Trump did not expect that most of the world welcome his win and Trump wants to show that we won bigly. Just look at his entourage: only billionaires are invited onto the podium. Mandy can bend and is easily replaced if necessary when the time comes. Soon enough...

it was possibly me. I was proven wrong. He's still wrong to pick on his neighbours to start a tariff war though. He said America has been ripped off but that's not true. The USA government run a budget deficit for so long that private savings are no longer enough to make up for the shortfall...

are you concerned by Trump's tariffs? He'll going to hit the EU hard.

Yes, overall. Still not enough to cancel winter. About the kerching, petrol and gas companies have been cashing in for a very long time. It is now on the decline. If you go over to the middle east now, you'll see the scale of their investments in solar and wind, second only to China, for when...

No and no. The jet had priority, the helicopter pilot confirmed taking responsibility for visual separation. Are you saying that the helo was piloted by ai or the helicopter pilot does not understand English? Edit...

It's good that they are not obsessed with people using the throttle. E-bikes are about the best and safest form of simple, non polluting cheap transports.

LiFePO4 has lower self heating rate compared to NMC but that's not enough to prevent thermal runaway and still suffers from oxygen evolution due to humidity and SEI (solid electrolyte interphase) deposition on the anode. Most of the current efforts go on to large EV and storage batteries, we...

Trump blamed the FAA for the accident at DCA, more precisely FAA's DEI hire policy. I watched a couple of reconstructions, both with the recording between traffic controller and the two pilots. It was an accident. I could not see how trump could blame the ATC or it has anything to do with DEI.

I did watch that one yesterday. Do you follow the current bird flu H5N1 in the USA? It can turn nasty.
