France and Japan just fire more reactors with the waste. Been doing it since at least the 70s

i test all web search engines the same way:

  • punch in "Python itertools"
  • see if the official Python.org documentation for itertools is the top result.

if it's not, then the search engine is contaminated with advertised or SEO optimized results and it's wasting my time

Nowadays i find myself leaning the old ways: browser bookmarks. Not long ago, search was so good that i stopped using them.

it really wouldn't. they don't have any biomass to provide nutrition with: it's the reason they feed on blood. managing mosquito populations would increase the health (and biomass) of their blood hosts and lead to healthier wildlife populations

In 2022, U.S. production grew by 3.6% to a new all-time high of 94.7 billion cubic feet per day.

When burned, that's 60,000 tons CO2/day.

Texas burns far more coal than any other U.S. state — almost twice as much as Missouri, the next runner up, according to the National Mining Association.

Coal consumption in Texas peaked at 111 million tons in 2011 then fell to 62 million tons by 2021, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Texas is not connected to the rest of the US grid. That influenced the decision.

The plant was first scheduled to be shut down in 2018. State lawmakers approved a tax break in 2019 that had kept the facility active.

WV gave this plant tax breaks to burn coal for an unspecified length of time. The hydrogen thing is supposed to make you feel good about it.

Paladin’s announcement on July 19, 2022, outlined the decision to recommence operations at Langer Heinrich, targeting the initial volumes for the first quarter of 2024.

The mine has not in in operation since 2018. It's neat to see folks getting uranium fever.

Russia is supplying four Generation III+ VVER-1200 pressurised water reactors for El-Dabaa, with the first unit expected to be online in 2026.

Russia is ruining everything! They must have pressured Egypt to not use renewables. Egyptian solar is a no-brainer.

The Defense of Logistics Agency (DLA), acting on behalf of the Department of Air Force (DAF), on Aug. 31 issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) that selects the Santa Clara, California–based nuclear technology firm’s Aurora Powerhouse for its Eielson Air Force Base pilot and initiates an acquisition process to potentially award Oklo a 30-year, firm-fixed-price contract to pilot the advanced nuclear energy technology.

I feel like this should have been an easy contract for renewables to win. Of course, the government is going to waste money on nuclear when they could have went with wind and solar.

The latest offer added 78 new blocks in the western part of the Barents Sea and 14 blocks in northwestern part of the Norwegian Sea to the already existing APA area.

New oil and gas blocks, cool.

German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.

I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

Storms are becoming more likely to stall in one place, dumping more rain on concentrated areas, as Hurricane Harvey did in Houston in 2017.

Get yourself a boat, hurricane season 2023 is going to be wild.

I noticed when there's a shooting in NYC, media outlets may report the story like "Shooting in Bensonhurst neighborhood..."

If there was a shooting in the West Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago, theyll report it like "Shooting in Chicago..."

This kind of language make Chicago, and other cities who are victimized by this, sound more dangerous than they are.

Is there another way we can reliably meet current and future energy demands?
