Not gonna lie, sounds awesome appealing. Bring it to the EU, please.
You are citing Norway which has very favorable geography. But that’s hardly true in general. About grid - think about long winter nights where people are running heat pumps and worse means of heating tech. Will this grid be able to, let’s say, provide energy for a week? I doubt you could, assuming Norway provides their storage, distribute it all over EU. Biomass outputs CO2 and is only possible at small scale. Where are these hydrogen storages?
Anyway, I’m all for renewables and non-nuclear if somebody draws a plan that is well defined and realistic. But AFAIK we have no such plan, do we?
I thought it was used a synonym of “reliable”. Now that I think of it,I suppose it was in relation to the power grid?
Yep, it is a constant flow of energy.
About the problems - yes, there are problems and not minor ones, but OTOH we don’t have an alternative, do we? Also CO2 emissions are exaggerated - mining and other activities could involve more e-vehicles I suppose. What air pollution we are talking about? CO2?
Nuclear for better or worse, is a stable and well known technology. That works. Almost 24/7 and reliably. But renewables aren’t reliable at all, when there is no sun, there is no energy from solar panels, when there is no wind, there is no energy from wind farms etc. Of course, there is also hydro but even that depends on drought seasons and when there is surplus you can’t store it. And options for hydro are geographically dependent and not infinite. Basically, if you want to go full renewable, you need a huge amount of energy storage. Not just huge, but HUUUGE. And we aren’t capable of building these today. Perhaps in the future. You can say there is hydrogen, but it has problems on its own and not feasible today if ever. Bottom line is renewables are not a reliable source of energy without energy storage which isn’t there by far.
Renewables have a showstopper OTOH. Energy storage. So nuclear is still a better choice today regardless of the problems. 🤷♂️
He’s proven to be enough of a meteorologist. Well, he and his sharpie. No need for others.
Probably doesn’t help the environment unless a battery is added, the bigger the better.
Thanks for ideas, I’ll look into roaming profiles (but do you need similarly set computers then if profile was to work on all?). Also how much space do you allocate for a system partition (I guess the rest is all for /home) - I know this could be subjective?
