@js290 I was talking about the UK but yea

@dave @11112011 i think you need depleted uranium for the SMRs

@11112011 @dave yeah, which is why it's fucked

@11112011 @dave

> large proportion of globe models their government upon yours
???????
> you're doing it wrong you should do it like us

@11112011

@11112011 yeah I know linked it last night

@11112011 ofc not

@jasper the Protectorate

@11112011 don't have a problem with renewables, i have a problem with euro wonks blindly ideologueing the continent into an energy crisis

putin is just the catalyst, this sucker has been brewing for a while

@11112011 it's not ideology it's electrical engineering

renewables (other than hydro) are volatile and you need alternatives when generation falls below consumption

@jasper worked for the last 1000 years

@11112011 that synchronisation fragilises the system in proportion to use of renewables

@11112011 you're gonna need a fuckload of hydro (also sensitive to climate conditions) or fossil fuels/nukes

renewables can be run as supplementary, sure, but not core energy

@11112011 the problem remains - how do you match the grid load when these things drop off?

@11112011 25MW lel

@11112011 15 years yeah, but unless you can find some serious batteries....
