Does it though? If Germany's policies hurt the economy, at a time when the cost of energy goes up, it may threaten the plans. The last thing a costly reform needs is less money to spend.

Ignoring possible second order effects is a dangerous course of action. The nuclear shutdown in Germany was so bad not just for emissions (which have gotten worse) but also, as the Marginal Revolution article above points out, geopolitically as well. One decision can have a multitude of flow on bad effects.

The important part to remember is that the goal is not clean energy. The goal is for humanity to continue to exist and, if possible, to prosper. That is why climate change is awful, as it threatens our species. Not the planet. The planet will be fine. It is our species that is at risk.

Decisions made for vague, second effect ignoring reasons are worrying, especially when there are known second order effect consequences.
I don't think it's true that the vast majority of users aren't concerned.

The vast majority of users don't understand what is happening, and the few that are aware have decided that it's not worth the fuss, because they have correctly internalized that they basically have no real choice in the matter.

This sort of data collection is almost never optional, and when it is, the settings are deliberately hidden and obfuscated behind the worst kind of dark patterns.

If properly informed about what data is collected, and given a real choice about opting out, that doesn't reset every two seconds or hobble the service (what gdpr theoretically requires), I think the majority of users would be concerned and would opt out of as much as possible.
merchants are always notified of chargebacks and penalized. if a certain percent of your transactions have chargebacks you can have your merchant account cancelled.

> the public is skeptical regarding fission for good reason: history has not been kind to the kind of disasters fission reactors have wrought.

It's not just that! I was pro-fission until someone educated me how horribly irresponsible we've been about our nuclear waste disposal. And how dangerous it is.

Deep waste storage has been deadlocked in government since the 80s so waste is just hanging out by each reactor. If this funding and nuclear push doesn't include just finishing Yucca mountain, then imo it's a bad idea.

It looks like some progress was made recently but given that it took 40 years to vet yucca mountain I hate the idea of more nuclear power concurrent with a restarted site selection process.

If you believe one can engage in a massive nuclear energy projects in modern United States without government participation or cooperation, you haven't been paying attention for a while. It's not a question of money, it's a question of public policy, regulation, etc. Gates has more money than whole Department of Energy, it's not about getting more (I recognize in many cases it's about getting handouts, but not in this one), it's about getting this thing moving. And this, unfortunately, does require government help.

Always the same thing: instead of reducing energy use, humans will find a way to push back problems instead of tackling them head on. Using nuclear energy "because runway is too short" without doing much else is not going to save us.

We have to go out of our comfort zone and start pushing for laws that force manufacturers to allow for 20 year repairability of electronical products (some brands already offer 10 years, so 20 years is probably possible too), pushing for automatic 5 year warranty on electronic products instead of 2 in the EU, disallowing environment breaking agriculture, putting extremely high taxes on airplane tickets, etc.

Sure, that means that we need to change the way we live. We need to consume less and better. We need to think long term instead of jumping onto the new bright innovation every 2 years.

21st century capitalism has gotten to a point of absurdity in which everything in the world "has to" be available within the reach of a click and max 3 days delivery, whatever the cost (environment is dying, poverty is still not gone despite the absurd amount of wealth produced by modern economies, etc).

Maybe we ought to rethink how we consume and what we expect from life.
Boeing does this with their seats in the factory too, they put a picture of a Lamborghini on the seats since they cost the same.

You could also just buy those evil Koch Brothers/Adelson/etc. They are all smaller than you. Just buy them and shut them down.

You can save the country with a wave of your hand. Why are you always making such a small impact with such a large amount of money? Stop trying to bunt to first and smack the home run.

Do you mean something about the character set that is used to display their e-mail address in a localized form? If that’s the question you mean, then perhaps you should expand on that, and then ask your question.

I'm not sure I entirely believe that explanation.

Back in 1982, the Commodore 1541 [1] was basically another C=64 with no keyboard, and a built-in floppy disk. It was big and heavy and hot and not terribly reliable.

4 years earlier, the Apple's Disk II [2] was tiny, light, and had only 5 ICs [3] -- it was described as "a state machine made of a prom and a latch" [4]. The computer's CPU drove it -- it's not like the 6502 would otherwise be running other threads or processes during I/O!

> Merkel cynically said her party is now against nuclear power

There is nothing cynical about it (except your judgment of it). She admits to following opinion polls on important issues like this. In the days after Fukushima, the opinion polls regarding nuclear power moved from 50:50 to a majority in favor of ending nuclear power.

Same thing with gay marriage: As soon as she saw support for it growing far enough that it could threaten her party's position in the federal elections, she changed her stance from "never" to "let the representatives decide", leading to a nonpartisan bill passing the parliament with overwhelming majority.

Same thing with "Wir schaffen das": Her actions regarding the 2015 refugee influx were (at least partially) motivated by stronger-than-expected support for refugee-friendly policies in the population.

Say what you want about Merkel, but there is an argument to be made that by closely monitoring opinion polls, her government is more democratic than otherwise. (There are obvious flaws in this argument, which is why I don't endorse it.)

This is a very neat idea. I wonder if transport companies already do this to their own packages as a form of auditing and optimizing their own services. Or if they do it to other companies as a comparison metric.

As a 3rd party, you would need large N data points to have actionable information. It might be that collecting the data points costs more than what they are worth.

I think that consent is irrelevant and if you can use it for food it is OK (they are dead and cannot consent, and also the other plants/animals you also don't usually consent either). The dead body (human or otherwise) is for eating (whether by human or others animals) and for recycling. That is how to do the nature, and it is good.

However, Kuru is good point; since it is not good to eat, so, don't eat, please (another comment mentions other kind of disease too). There is valid reason to be careful due to such thing. It is also contrary to the English cultural that I know, I think.

Nuclear power is way slower than current generation renewables.
Sure, but a very bad nuclear incident (accidental or not) could more or less kill millions of people pretty quickly. Obviously hydrocarbons will kill more than that, but the optics of a nuclear catastrophe are in my opinion far worse than global warming which to many people is pretty abstract.
What we've got right now is on the order of a million people dying prematurely every year because of the human issue of people worrying too much about concentrated risk (nuclear) and not understanding the diffuse risk (coal).

Sure, we can improve fission in various ways, but this sort of skepticism is way riskier in the aggregate as it translates into public policy.

> Nuclear reactors already use a storage solution

Hmm, not sure what storage solution you're thinking of? Is there a nuclear-specific means of storing the energy produced for later use?

What I mean to say is: nuclear power is so cheap that you could use it to power carbon recapture, even at the current cost. There are even people working on using direct air capture to create ultra-dense fuel, e.g. http://carbonengineering.com/ . This is surely very inefficient (lots of energy required to recapture a small amount of fuel), but if we powered it using a nuclear plant's off-peak energy, it's effectively a liquid battery.

This is in my opinion the core problem with credit cards: that the information to authorise payment is sent through the vendor, who can store it and reuse it without the customer being aware of it. That's just a broken payment system.

A good payment system should require explicit authorisation through your own bank. That's how for example the Dutch iDeal system works. I never use a credit card for a site that accepts iDeal, and the only reason I have a credit card at all, is that many foreign sites don't specifically cater to Dutch customers, and therefore haven't implemented iDeal. I wish they did, or that there was a similar international payment standard that went through banks rather than merchants.
