I have quite a few similar things best forgotten in my dark WS-Death Star past, e.g. I remember a talk called “the central role of registries”

A virtual conference spread out over three weeks, interesting idea. I’ve always enjoyed #QCon, might be worth a try #QConPlus plus.qconferences.com/#agend…

Yes, and nuclear. But I still remember a time when even 25% was deemed impossible. I see no fundamental reason it couldn’t be increased to 100%, given the necessary investment

Germany had 48% of its energy sourced from renewables in the first three quarters of 2020. Not too shabby.

This is actually quite fascinating. Obama, Clinton, both Bushes, Reagan – of all the presidents I’ve consciously noticed in my lifetime made some horrible political decisions, but the current one is the first one who seems to be a genuinely terrible human
A Republican who is voting for Joe sent this to me and said it was circulating in a Facebook group of hers with other Republican’s voting for Joe and was having a major impact with her friends and family. I wanted to share it with you. I think the description is spot on:

I like that the author suggests nuclear as an interim solution, which might be a risk worth taking.

Very interesting, thank you. The assessment of nuclear power’s safety is of course my major concern (and disagreement).

Diplomacy seems to be the only option, at least until the world finally gets around to get rid of nation states :)

All of you, of course. I have no problem if that’s what the majority of a democratic country’s citizens decide. I’d argue against it and try to vote those who support that out of power, of course, and I think neighboring countries should matter, too.

That’s where I think things connect: Like fossil fuels, nuclear power is only cheap because the real cost isn’t factored in. Companies should only build nuclear power plants if they can guarantee they’ll pay for the potential damages (or have an insurance that will)

True. Just to be clear: I think fossil fuels are a disaster, and at least as bad, and quite possibly worse, than nuclear power. I just don’t think nuclear is as clean and risk-free as its proponents claim.

The potential cost– even for something as “mild” as Chernobyl or Fukushima – is simply ridiculous. E.g. what price do you put on an area becoming uninhabitable for a few hundred years?
