It should be enough to convert every third golf course to a solar plant.

California is doing pretty good with their battery storage. And if all the electric car batteries get old we can use them as stationary grid storage.

In germany we use more space for golf courses and christmas trees than renewables. Compared to the land used tongrow animal feed thats a drop in a bucket. You could eat a little less meat and have more than enough room for 100% renewables.

Pandas can be used to build a slime farm in peacefull mode.

You train neuronal networks with labeled data and those captchas are used to create the labels. Its not specified in the code what a bicycle is, but in the training data.

Can I dissmis you based on linking this channel with hardcore incel vibes?

many parking spaces actually got converted to charging stations.

How many? We have 160milion parking spaces and 115.000 charging stations, which is 0.07%. Compare this to 2.9% electric Vehicles and think about if it’s really to many.

What is a solution that is as comfortable to use as a car? There is none. We also don’t have space in cities to add other modes of transportation as long as cars take up most of public space.

But we still need to change our car dominant society to a more climate friendly and space and resource efficient one. And this is only possible if we take away privileges cars enjoyed for the last decades and make driving less attractive than public transit and micromobility.

People are lazy and comfortable, they will never give up cars willingly.

Yeah, but we have a problem with too many cars in germany. We can’t continue to give everyone free parking space. Our citys are choking with cars and the quality of life for people suffers.

Same with the fuel prices, the CO2 emissions of traffic are huge and we have to do something against that.

Sucks that it makes your hobby more difficult and expensive, but we can’t continue with the status quo.

They are not going that fast. Don’t know where those numbers are from… ebikes are limited to 25km/h to be considered a bicycle.

Iceland has so much renewables with water and geothermal, they can use it however they want.

Thats very aptly put. I would also like to not only work the supply side and make demand more flexible to better work with renewables. And maybe get rid of personal cars and get people to ride more bikes and so on… And if we manage to stall/reverse global warming in the next 20 years we hopefully have fusion for all of the really big energy needs.

But most importantly, we need to do everything to get rid of fossil fuels as fast as possible. And that’s where I think we agree completely.

once you have reactor designs up and running, building a lot of capacity both cheaper and quicker.

But its the same with renewables and storage, they will improve as well and most likely keep their cost advantage.

And you seem to ignore Opportunity costs again. If we build to much nuclear plants and don’t need the energy later we could have invested the money better in other areas, like education. Again, money is a finite resource.

And another reason why I prefer renewables to nuclear is decentralisation. With renewables everyone can partake in energy generation, while nuclear is only for big corporations or governments. I’d rather have a robust decentralised grid where almost everyone is consuming and producing local most of the time than a grid relying on a few huge producers, which are a huge target for sabotage or vulnerable to natural catastrophes.

If the large governmental investments go into renewables and storage we have more energy faster.

Also nuclear doesn’t play nice with a energy network with a large fluctuating renewable part. As the running cost of a nuclear plant is minimal compared to the investment there is a huge incentive to let a nuclear plant run at max output all the time, thereby blocking the grid for renewables.

Fusion is way better than fission

Building nuclear does not mean we stop building renewables, or that we build less of them.

Money as a finite resource as of now, so money spent on nuclear is not spent on renewables and storage. And that is the number 1 priority if we want to be carbon neutral as fast as possible. And if we manage to transition to an all renewable energy system and continue to need even more energy we can hopefully start with fusion in 20 years. But in the short term i would only invest in renewables.
