Thank you, appreciate you showing specifically what your issue is. I agree the timeline for the battery costs hasn't worked out exactly because of some anomalies over the last year or two but the trend is sharply down again. So it seems like we are on track to achieve a cost of around $90 by 2025 now rather than 2024 at least according to Goldman Sachs.

If your issue is with the exact timeline, I say that's fair enough, but being off by a year with battery costs isn't too bad I don't think. Of course as with all forecasting we'll have to see exactly how it pans out in reality but it's a pretty big risk if you want to start building a nuclear reactor now, factoring in construction time plus payback period.

Which part specifically do you take issue with? It's a bounded timeframe with over 60 references. We're already 4 years into their predicted trends and on track so it seems like they are into something.

If you're interested in energy solutions and haven't read the RethinkX report on the feasibility of a 100% solar, wind and battery solution, it's definitely worth taking a look.

Whilst I agree that we need to decarbonise asap with whatever we can, any new nuclear that begins planning today is likely to be a stranded asset by the time it finishes construction. That money could be better spent leaning into a renewable solution in my view.

Renewables

Even batteries and wind have seen some pretty serious cost reduction. It's looking pretty great for renewables.

Carbon taxes simply make sense. The more this kind of thing happens the more interest and investment there will be in better alternatives like precision fermentation.

Oh boy, if they've been there since 2022 I've got some bad news...

Ronald McDonald: smile for me now, brother.

Yeah hopefully we get a steam controller 2 that's basically the same as the steam deck but I'm not holding my breath. It's the perfect control scheme for PC in my view at least.

That's pretty cool, I didn't realise there were so many folks using controllers on Steam. I also absolutely love Steam Input.

I just want a steam controller 2 that's basically exactly the same as the steam deck input scheme!

Yeah but think of the impact on society, any of us could be those top 8 if we just worked hard enough!
