By 2030 there is 110GW planned of nuclear and 2800GW of solar and wind.

Individual wind turbines aren’t very big, solar panels get laughably small, and while they are not efficient at their small form factors they are very easy to scale up and down. Nuclear is the exact opposite, representing a very large single point of failure, and even under pre-renewables hard to absorb; some of the first pumped hydro was developed to take excess nuclear capacity because it cannot scale up or down very easily.

Nuclear has declined as a share of power being built out in 5 year plans. The projected output of nuclear in 2030 is 100GW vs 2800GW for solar+wind.

In all the places I’ve lived there are generally large incentive programs to convert air conditioners and old heaters to heat pumps, and other efficient appliance replacements, install better insulation, etc. because that rebate dollar stretches a lot further than building new power plants, transmission lines, etc.

similar to how eventually AWS started making their own chips for data centers, and Apple did that for their hardware, it's not a ridiculous thing to plan for the AI companies to start making their own chips to optimize for their use cases and cut out the middleman for margins.

If you tell a teacher, a therapist or a priest that you are going to kill somebody, in many states they do actually have to report that and can be held liable for the resulting crime if they do not.

Every time we have a mass shooting in the US it inevitably comes up that they wrote it down or told somebody and then the next logical question becomes “how could we have stopped a mass casualty event?”
