The first argument (Long Time Lag Between Planning and Operation) is hard to argue against. To my surprise even in China it takes rather long. And in countries with a nuclear critical public is is a fantasy to think that going with "just the facts" for a year or two will sway enough opponents, and then go all-in with nuclear (as would be the case in an Ideal World).

The Cost argument [$151 (112 to 189)/MWh vs $43 (29 to 56)/MWh / $41 (36 to 46)/MWh for wind / solar PV] is also convincing, assuming the numbers are correct. If it is really a factor of > 2 then this would even be enough to bridge shortfalls of renewable energy due to lack of wind or sun, i.e. building rather inefficient (40%?) long term thermal or battery storage.

Weapons Proliferation Risk, Meltdown Risk, Mining Lung Cancer Risk, Waste Risk are tolerable when the alternative is a catastrophically warmer planet.

The "Carbon-Equivalent Emissions and Air Pollution" point counts the time it takes for a nuclear plant to come online?

So ideally going full nuclear would have started 10 years or so ago, but in the muddy real world this pure nuclear fantasy does not work. Time to bury it and stop wasting time and energy fighting for it, just get solar panels and build a wind farm already.
If you read a few more words I hope it becomes more clear:

> allow mixed use density and transit, and most cities do not allow that to be built anywhere.

It is illegal to build for car-free living in the vast majority of our land. So much is that in some of the places where it exists today, it would be illegal to build now because the building styles were made illegal over the last century.

Car dependency is built into our laws and our built infrastructure, and that codified life style does not fit the desires of future generations, not their environmental needs.
The article mentions it at the end:

This is quite a well-studied period that was probably linked to a large El Niño event - the climate cycle associated with shifting pressure patterns and a weakening of the trade winds in the Pacific.

The world warmed, apart from Europe which had a deep cold spell. And it probably had an impact on the outcome of WWII. The harsh winters at the time frustrated Hitler's armies as they invaded the Soviet Union.
>If you're working with what you perceive to be "trivial cognitive workloads" I think that is more a sign that you aren't quite working at the level you're capable of, than a sign that you're a really intelligent person.

Logically it can be a sign of either. If the cognitive workloads are on average hard for normal people and you perceive it to be trivial than you are likely intelligent. If the workload is considered to be trivial by most people and you see it as hard than you are likely not intelligent.

>The thing is that all humans have a limited working memory (which generally correlates with 'intelligence'). Whether you can juggle 3 objects in your working memory or 30 doesn't matter; eventually you will get to a problem that you can't hold within your working memory. At that point you will need to start using abstractions for both object-structure and functional characteristics. The limit of what you can do with abstraction is way higher than that of your working memory or intelligence.

I get where you're coming from. Think of it this way. If we organize the complexity of programs into layers such that each layer functions as an abstraction to reduce cognitive overhead, then we can use the number of layers as a quantitative measure of how much abstractions were used on a program.

A very intelligent person would use 3 layers while a less intelligent person would organize the program into 10 layers. There see how it works? Yes complexity is potentially unlimited but the more intelligent person still ends up relying on abstractions less than the unintelligent one.

Well the system has to go down, if the Iranians can keep shooting missiles just fine there is no point to it.
Trump calling the attack off was a surprisingly sober call on his part. Killing Iranians because an unmanned drone was attacked, that at best flew purposefully extremely close to Iran's border, at worst actually crossed into it, would be an extremely unequal response and a major escalation.

I imagine part of the reason they shot it down is because the rhetoric coming from Washington is such, that an attack could come at any moment and is hard for the Iranians to tell if this is it or not, (which I think is part of the U.S. tactic to provoke them to do something stupid).

The U.S. would not tolerate Chinese drones off its coast either.
"The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for a new nuclear plant in 2018, based on Lazard, is $151 (112 to 189)/MWh. This compares with $43 (29 to 56)/MWh for onshore wind and $41 (36 to 46)/MWh for utility-scale solar PV from the same source. "

"The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is a measure of a power source that allows comparison of different methods of electricity generation on a consistent basis. It is an economic assessment of the average total cost to build and operate a power-generating asset over its lifetime divided by the total energy output of the asset over that lifetime. The LCOE can also be regarded as the average minimum price at which electricity must be sold in order to break-even over the lifetime of the project."

You cannot talk about energy like that. What is the chance that 1 GWH is going to be produced? With a nuclear power plant you can have guaranteed energy, with renewables there is a chance that you get energy. You continously need to balance consumption and production. You can only control non-renewables. This is why building wind farms require the same amount of production is built using gas turbines for the worst case scenario. The £50/GWh vs £90/GWh is for the happy path best case scenario. I hope it makes sense.

So why is nuclear deemed uneconomical in countries like Sweden? They have not banned it, but decided the industry should carry its own costs - with the result that the industry is not building any new reactors, and not even
refurbishing existing reactors. It is a dying technology.
I actually agree with this. I've seen it happen but not in the way you expect.

I've seen less intelligent people write unnecessary design patterns and abstractions and end up making things harder for themselves. In essence, the heavy reliance the less intelligent programmer has on writing hyper readable and abstract code ends up damaging the app overall.
If you have a million dollars a year (rough estimate) burning a hole in your pocket, you too can own a TLD under a liberalized ICANN policy that has existed for many years now. Amazon was only different because there was a conflict about who should own it.

Some of the new TLDs created are actually useful, Russia got a TLD for the IDN value that native Russians would recognise more easily than .ru -- .рф and it's been pretty successful for locals.

Some of them were land grab attempts, people see .com makes a lot of money and imagine that some of that could be theirs, but alas mostly they're wrong. .horse, .aero, .london and so on. Their only value to the wider community is that they allow jokes like http://my.lovely.horse/ or http://ibless.therains.downin.africa/

A few of them are straight up vanity, but whereas your vanity domain might be costing you $25 pa from an expensive vendor with a crappy web site thrown in, operators of TLDs are spending many orders of magnitude more to obey rules

.kerrylogistics .kerryproperties and .kerryhotels all exist for example, and obviously those are completely useless, anybody looking for those outfits will either Google or knows their much shorter "real" domain name - but I guess probably they get a bulk deal on some of the technology needed, maybe the whole lot costs them only $2M per year to maintain.

The article provides sources to support his claims and leaving out 60% of the whole picture.

Key questions:

- what is providing base load coverage?

- what happens when it is cloudy or the wind does not blow?

- what do we use to balance out consumption and production?

- where does this cost counts towards?

- how much land do we need to cover with solar and wind to produce enough energy for the whole country?

- what happens in a blackout situation?

I can go on and on. This article is a super simplistic one sided propaganda piece to make people feel great about renewables.

>Nuclear energy is the cheapest source of energy once you take into consideration all the aspects of an energy grid. This is why Germany is buying energy from France instead of building renewables only.

This is the funniest thing I have read all day. Seriously I can't stop laughing. Ok let's be serious. It has more to do with the incompetence of the government parties than with the technologies involved. The renewable percentage grew to 47% from 40% in 2018. The reason is that we are being cooked alive by the hot weather, not because the government is acting intelligently. That 7% increase is effectively a 40GWh increase which is 4 times the amount Germany is importing from France. There is no shortage of energy, just a total lack of political willpower to do anything. Even without France, Germany could just turn off one of it's coal plants and use more of it's gas plants to solve the intermittency issue because gas plants produce half as much CO2 as coal plants. Sure it makes sense to keep the old plants running because that way we can turn off coal earlier and decommission the nuclear plants only when they reach their maximum lifespan. But it's too late now. Nuclear power clearly is no longer the answer to decarbonizing Germany's electricity market.
I genuinely missed that. I'm no expert either, just checking out a few sources while on my phone on the toilet, and apparently didn't read far enough. So you're right, I underrepresented the Fukushima deaths. Still, re-run the numbers; compare it to coal deaths again. I don't think this changes the conclusion.
