Does she have videos on different types of generation?I think she tells it like it is.
If you watch her videos in full she goes through the good and bad of each technology. As a nuclear physicist she has a bias towards nuclear and criticises the German government for closing down reactors, but she recognises that nuclear is not the best for every country.
One of the most even handed Youtubers I have seen.
Yes lots.Does she have videos on different types of generation?
???France has a 70% utilization rate for nuclear power generation, highest in the world most are 10 to mid 20's%.
Been there, done that, 9088.Thanks @SirRumpole she has a good contrarian approach, which I quite like, but probably isn't everyone's cup of tea.
She has done a video on renewables, which is good also, here it is.
Australians have been warned blackouts could threaten Christmas lunch as temperatures are set to soar.
PSS Distributors general manager Terrence Daniel has warned the festive period is “vulnerable” to power outages.
With the weather forecast to be sunny and hot, one assumes rooftop solar will be pumping to the max, but aircons will also be sucking hard, so no doubt it will be a stress test for the gridFor the reassurance of those who may have seen this, it's fake news:
No idea who this person is or who PSS Distributors are but suffice to say all looks OK for Christmas Day indeed at present there are no forecast problems between now and the end of the year that would disrupt supply to consumers.
That doesn't preclude an errant tree or car taking out the line to your house, but at an overall system level there's no concern at the present time about the next week.
We have a pretty mild dry sunny weather in Qld right now so i am sure QLD is pumping a lot of good coal power down south day and nightWith the weather forecast to be sunny and hot, one assumes rooftop solar will be pumping to the max, but aircons will also be sucking hard, so no doubt it will be a stress test for the grid

The US nuclear fleet averaged 93.1% capacity factor in 2023.
UK it was 72.2% in 2022.
I think you mean something other than the utilisation rate?
My apologies, I've been using the phone while I was away and it is a pain to use, going back through threads, I must have missed it.Been there, done that, 9088.
There are however many offsets:With the weather forecast to be sunny and hot, one assumes rooftop solar will be pumping to the max, but aircons will also be sucking hard, so no doubt it will be a stress test for the grid
For the first time, i do believe fusion is here and believe it will be reality in a decade, just among others in today's feedNew Zulland a leader in nuclear fusion?
Hooda thunk it ?
Take it out of the superannuation tax concessions ? ($50 billion pa).But to put things into perspective, 1.5 billions dollars for our masters is nothing
"Today's announcement by the Albanese Government takes Australia's military assistance to Ukraine to more than $1.1 billion since the start of Russia's full‑scale invasion, and overall assistance to more than $1.3 billion."Take it out of the superannuation tax concessions ? ($50 billion pa).
If you add the prime residence tax concessions in the cut as well, all our deficit problems are solved and probably the housing bubble as well.Take it out of the superannuation tax concessions ? ($50 billion pa).
Would be great: we could waste more billions and reach the same deficit again as now, after all, we are all surviving wellIf you add the prime residence tax concessions in the cut as well, all our deficit problems are solved.
The largest tax concession in Australia is the capital gains tax (CGT) exemption for the main residence. Last year it cost the budget $46 billion and is predicted to cost the budget $189 billion over the next four years.

Back to the subject, the r&d on fusion is. A speck vs the money spent on solar panels or wind mills.
