The frog of time and the hovermower of destiny...Meanwhile, the winged arrow of time speeds unerringly unto the bullseye of human destiny . . .
Well, time moves by leaps and bounds. And final destiny for all of us is to be cut down.The frog of time and the hovermower of destiny...

Nuclear Reactor Goes Live |
Georgia Power Co. yesterday announced the commercial operation of the first new nuclear reactor built in the US in more than 30 years, powering utilities in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The reactor, known as Unit 3, is one of two that began construction in 2009 at Plant Vogtle, southeast of Augusta, and can power 500,000 homes and businesses at full capacity. The reactor was initially expected to start generating power in 2016; however, the project faced delays and unexpected costs, which increased from $14B to $35B. The plant already has two reactors that have been operating since 1987 and 1989. Once all four units are operational—Unit 4 is expected early next year—the site will become the nation's largest generator of clean energy. Units 3 and 4 are expected to produce about 2,234 megawatts combined, enough to power more than 1 million homes and businesses. Nuclear energy currently accounts for about 18% of US power generation, and more US states are looking to the power source for clean energy. Experts say the US would need 200 gigawatts of advanced nuclear energy to power about 160 million homes. |
Besides the technical problems of nuclear energy one thing I heard from a guy who worked on building one a few miles from here was the waste that goes on during construction, at least at this one. He mentioned that the contractors were paid on something like "cost plus". The more spent on materials the more profit for the contractor. He told about being paid to cut 2X4's in to short chunks and toss them into dumpster for a full day, brand new right off the truck.Useable, commercial, safe fusion power is just 20-30 years away. Been that way all my life.
”Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken.
Inundated with complaints, Tesla created "Diversion Team" to cancel appointments.”
Might b different in the US, but over here that that would b a criminal offence.
Not to be a fan boi but Elon isn't the only maker lying about EV range...............
Seems to me that stated fuel mileage with gasoline powered cars is smoke and mirrors as well. I am a born again skeptic.Not to be a fan boi but Elon isn't the only maker lying about EV range...............
