Just a note to say that this is the electricity market breaking down - don’t celebrate it! France has had low-carbon energy since the 70s when they built a load of nuclear power. The have started building renewable plants rather than updating the nuclear plants. Electricity cannot be stored in the amounts that we use it. So many statistics about wind/solar quote power act like we can use it all… but an installation battery that could store a country like France’s worth of energy for 12 hours (solar never works at night) would be the biggest megastructure humans have built*. During a period of high pressure a whole country might get little wind for a week. Also, check out this map if you visit regularly the low carbon energy solutions are nuclear or hydro… the only countries that reliably don’t burn fossil fuels use these. [edit: clarity, *edit: Not quite-about 100mx100mx50m, approximately the same size as the Great Pyramid of Giza, but made of flammable material - I got confused with something that could provide a week or two for windless anticyclones]
I thought hard about whether to put it on ask lemmy, but didn’t want to look stupid. The only advice I could find was this:

Its not a problem for me - I’m old :)
As it ever was?

I’ll check in.
@frazorth you’ve got going down rabbit holes … I wonder what I else I can do to scare a tory
This is good. It doesn’t have to be punk - I don’t even know what people listen to now…
Is this the most recent suggestion on here?
Listening now! Thanks
These are good. Thanks
Guilty as charged. Good stuff - I’ll look out for these - my new years resolution is to see some live music.
I have a GCSE in German, what would you suggest?
I’ll give it a try - any suggestions?
Holy shit! Thanks - that video is outrageous! These are great
Also, please feel free to answer if you aren’t based in the UK, I assume this isn’t a UK only problem, but I’m based here.
