same for Germany which has roughly the same Co2 per kwh.

Yes, also have a look at build123d which has a vscode plugin.

EROI of 5 means 20% all energy goes just to preserving current status. As wind is limited this gives hard limits to what is sustainable in northern countries. These problems completely disappear with nuclear.

Not if you factor in all the residual. Adding to fossil or water based grid is okay, running on its own with all the necessary residual it gets way worse.

Yes but with RE it is the major cost, because they are not firm energy.

Huh? Cost vs EROI differences show potential for improvements. You can never cheat bad eroi of RE grid.

Sure but all the residual stuff needs als be considered.

Sure labor amount is strongly correlated with EROI

That is not how RE works at scale.

Yes, thank you. Eroi ist the only thing which matters from a hard physics stand point.

This is wrong, Germanies Konvoi where immensely profitable. The greens complained about these as money printing machines.

Treat power plants as public infrastructure. No need for high returns or insurance of every risk.

But we have pretty good understanding of the logical foundations and the truth of computer generated math. So having a big library which humans could never produce or fully understand has still a value on its own. It is just another level of abstraction.
