OT: EV Charging Stations Stripped of Copper Cables

And who do you think is going to come out to the millions of false alarms, and how fast?

THE Unit is defined as a KWh. but being an asshole, you wouldn't know that

Yes, at the University - I have my MA certificate somewhere.

Yes, of course you can. You have to consider all the possible problems as well as the benefits.

Of course but Sloman is eponymous. He hasn't caught up with the 20th century yet.

Don't be silly. Powering all road vehicles through the grid would add about 30% to the total load on the generating system, which would be a problem if it happened overnight.

"Slowman" might be eponymous. Sloman - as a west country English surname

- is a contraction of "slough man", which meant somebody who farmed land close to a river or creek.

The Natural Philosopher seems to be "natural" in the Shakespearean sense of not having had enough education. He claims to have been to Cambridge, so he may have had the opportunity to get educated, but the process doesn't seem to have gone to completion, if it happened at all.

Any have it all spewed out again? A deep ocean subduction zone would be a lot more sensible.

It's Dr. Sloman, if you want to pretend to be formal.

And the computer still runs Windows 7. It does have a Linux partition, but I haven't used in a decade. Norton Symantec has worked fine for me for more than twenty years now, and the computer magazines I subscribe to still seem to like it.

If there's a problem, it's in Thunderbird, which is what I use to access Eternal September. Thunderbird is clunky with large files, and I have thought about switching to SeaMonkey

The point of detecting that the cable had been cut would mean that any alarm generated wouldn't be false. You seem to have missed that.

Or a deep hole in the ground, which we already have.

Used fuel rods can profitably be refined into more reactor fuel, but politics get in the way.

Claws-Mail has a Windows port, and is very much faster than TB, not that that is a high bar.

No. you do.

I *did*. And the conclusion was absolutely clear. Nuclear power beat renewables hands down on every metric - cost, reliability, carbon emissions, environmental impact - you name it, nuclear was better. to the point wher it was not wrong to say that 'renewable grids will never work'

Bog trotter.

If any of your education had in fact stuck you *might* have learned that Natural Philosophy is what you probably call science. Once again you wear ignorance as a badge of pride

It's here already, but much too expensive for anybody to use.

And the idea of a rocket-load of nuclear waste might even not make it into low earth orbit is something that should have registered with you.

You aren't aware of much. We notice volcanoes because they spit stuff out. Dumping something nasty like radioactive waste into an active volcano for it to spit out again later isn't a great idea.

There are spots in middle of continental plates that seem to stay put for millions of years, but we'd need to know a lot more about the convection currents in the mantle before we could be all that confident about that.

A kWh is a unit of energy.

And don't be a jerk. It's admittedly easy.

It's not emitting energy all that fast.

It always amuse me when they say 'but it will be radioactive for thousands of years. Yes dear.

- In the oceans are 4 billion tonnes of radioactive waste which have been there ever since the earth was formed. Its called Uranium

- All 'renewable' energy is second or third hand nuclear power. What the f*ck do they think the Sun is?

- by several orders of magnitude the most dangerous radiation we are exposed to is sunlight.

- The earth is formed out of nuclear waste from cataclysmic supernovae. Siome of it is still radioactive.

- The atmosphere is bombarded with cosmic rays from space, which create radioactive isotopes.

By any rational metric man made nuclear waste is tiny and irrelevant and if we simply chucked in a deep part of the ocean nothing untoward would happen.

The problem isn't physics or engineering, it's mental.

kWh is correct. Little k is kilo; big K is Kelvins.

Units named after people are capitalized. Like Watt.

Its defined as THE unit of electrical energy, Wots on your bill, or does daddy pay that?
