A big chunk of the US population wants dictatorship

My impression is that it was highly regional, with a few areas, covering several percent of the population, being really big on it for several years.

It will probably take a bit longer than that. For example, catalytic converters don’t suddenly get removed from cars.

They’re probably more afraid that Trump will burn the company down.

Yes, it’s just some colors. If you can’t handle a picture with some colors, you’ve got a problem.

The environmental movement asked the same thing for subsidized hydrogen production

Power use by the Washington/Oregon data center cluster was almost entirely covered by a local surplus of hydropower until a couple years ago. That might be why it looks different from elsewhere.

If you’re doing a massive load increase, build out emissions-free generation to match. Some mix of wind, solar, batteries, nuclear, and geothermal would do fine. Otherwise, don’t do the big load increase.

They do occasionally enforce the signal jamming laws. Do it with any regularity in a way that messes up police radio, and they will work to catch you.

I’m using Firefox with ublock origin and no problems. Maybe Voyager strips out the access token from the URL?

There’s a fairly small list of names it refuses. Almost all names are ok; the author’s is not.

Mostly because really messed up state on your device can keep Javascript from running.

It’s a gift link. You won’t hit the paywall during the next couple weeks unless at least one of the following is true:

• You’ve disabled javascript
• You’re running a browser extension which strips off the access token (you may also see this problem if you’re accessing the post via mastodon instead of lemmy)
• your device desperately needs a reboot

The existing large-scale batteries are largely lithium. There are a bunch of iron-chemistry ones and sodium-ion ones which have been deployed over the past year, with factories going up to scale them up. I’m not expecting to be limited by lithium availability for stationary batteries.

They’re talking about 5+ years on the new nuclear in these. And they haven’t done it before, so a 30% deadline slip is realistic.

You can put up a lot of wind and solar in that time.

Mostly:

• New nuclear is really expensive
• It also takes a long time to deliver
• The new reactor examples in here consist of reactors from suppliers who haven’t done that before

So it has the feel of a plan to promise to spend a lot of money several years from now, and get a lot of PR points today, and quietly cancel the project later.
