Yeah bur for the non tech oriented user it's still difficult . Most devices bought come with OEM install.

Even for a regular user it's going to sound like There is a virus that reads and remembers everything on your computer but you can turn it off and trust us it would be off.

here you go. This is why you get funny feelings.

they aren't being driven out of existence by wind and solar that's just wrong.

They are being driven out by prolitics and fear of the unknown.

Waste is problem which has been blown out of proportion in the media.

Nuclear is more expensive than wind comparable to solar. Major point in it's favor is base load reliability. Look at capacity factors of the major base load providers. Solar is barely 26%/ Wind 24%/30% on-/off shore and Nuclear is 3x of that and highly predictable (as it's downtime is planned maintainsnce).

Pure wind solar would have to be 300% average load(heating excluded!!!) with nearly 15day storage to have a blackout probability on under 1%.

I am genuinely all for Wind and Solar. Although my comments on this post might lead one to think otherwise.(independence of power for countries is a big + for Wind Solar which is a - for Nuclear)

But I am for fastest road to green electricity... more like just do everything to get rid of CO2 intense production methods.

I am aware of that but that's due to Compulsive exporting by shunting the prices to near 0€ as there is overproduction on sunny days.

if you look at the net value of exported vs imported electricity. Germany is strongly in deficit.

Also the overproducion isn't great cause he renewabke the LCOE is calculated at install time but the actual cost it's larger as you end up giving away the electricity (Very difficult to assess on the free market)

In addition to that Germany's energy mix has 5-8x carbon intensity as that of France.

The German solution isn't economical and by far not ecological. hey but they do better than Poland so that's something.

who told you they are regretting ?

Look at energy maps. France has one of the greenest energy mixes around and sells energy to Germany(and others) which cannot produce sufficient power for itself in Winter.

Also Germany at many instances end up playing the neighbours to buy their electricity Or selling it lower then 0.01€/kWh on days of overproduction.

that's not quite right and mixes couple things

you have production losses and transmission losses. then you have waste heat used for household and industrial heating.

now you would also have to produce that portion electrically.

For instance in winter heating requirements of a typical house are 2x that of the electricity used.

electricity is't the majority of the energy consumed in nearly any country.

it's a easy way to keep confusing less vigilant people by calling electricity as energy.

Just call things the way they are.

also look at sponsorblock for YT

it skippes segments of videos where the creator is taking about sponsored content directly in the vid

yeah but there is no way to verify that they don't. It's all just trust/belief based.

then the VPN provider knows.

probably a bike. he forgot the CO2 emissions through cal burn.

so you agree that numbers aren't currently in the public domain. You just think they can be and it wouldn't hurt.

Also this isn't the only problem I outlined. it's one of them.

also people are often disinterested and unqualified to even understand a balance sheet. let alone deciding on company direction.

I just find it fascinating that many people are convinced that they can run a company while they aren't even able to manage their own finances
