Are there merits to investing in nuclear now?
A nuclear plant would take the best part of 20 years to build and has at least a 40 year lifespan. It'd be competing not against today's solar and batteries but against 2040's solar and batteries on day one. And it'd need to be profitable until 2070.
It would have been great to have invested in nuclear in the 80s, but we didn't. Like hydrogen cars, it could have been great but we've moved past it already.
If they've completely given up on winning - which they should have, considering the polling - then it does make sense for the conservatives to focus on defending themselves from Reform. It's not complete madness.
This. It isn't supposed to succeed, it's supposed to drag on for decades eating up all the money that could have built renewables.

People still need to know what was said. Presumably their AI clone can send them a quick summary.
And they have to give their AI clone instructions. I guess you can just give it a few points it needs to mention and who to tell them to.
It seems to me like you could send the instructions to the people who need to read them and skip the part where a bunch of AIs translate it into hours of video and back. Though the AI clone thing does give you a way to deal with that guy who loves the sound of his own voice.
For me it's because almost nothing is within an hour's ride. My drive to work isn't far, but it'd be a 90 minute round trip on a bike.
That's because system firmware is designed and tested on Windows, so the supply of new and exciting hardware bugs that need workarounds is endless.
Okay, but they're still calling it GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK DELUXE EDITION.
That’s not even thinking about the mining required to make batteries, or the copper needed for the motors.
Yeah, but... that stuff isn't going away. In a couple decades when an EV's worn out, all the materials will still be there ready for recycling. It's not like coal and oil where we dig them up and then set them on fire and they're gone.
Fair, but they're at $39k right now with around 240km of freeway range and much more for city driving, so you don't have long to wait.
