My uncle's a uni professor. First assignment last semester was writing a paper specifically using ChatGPT, and seeing how much work you had to do to fact-check it and make an actual paper.

On the contrary, there is a lot of professional software that doesn't run on Windows!

Gross or net?

.... battery heaters and block heaters are a thing for ICE too though?

For the people / businesses who book these flights.

It takes a while to gather the data, new areas all the time.

No, the plant is full of primary batteries! 4.2 million AA cells!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Piwigo yet.

Ah, perhaps my source was off. Thanks for the additional data.

But looking at it another way, nuclear is less than twice coal. Estimating the cost of that georgia plant would put it at $16-17B, so those overruns would be atypical.

But my main point on cost is that government investment has been lacking in nuclear compared to renewables: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertbryce/2021/12/27/why-is-solar-energy-getting-250-times-more-in-federal-tax-credits-than-nuclear/?sh=4a783c3221cf

Without investment, it's going to stay just as expensive. And the main regulating body not having a mandate to develop the technology has just been holding us back.

A coal power plant is rougly the same cost per GW as solar or wind, doesn't mean we should build more of them. I agree it's expensive, but so were solar and wind a couple decades ago. Government investment helped research, development, scaling up - imagine if that had been done in the '80s, we wouldn't be building natural gas plants right now.

Burying it in the ground with no considerations for leachants is not what nuclear disposal is.
