That’s crazy. I never would’ve guessed. Did you also know solar panels have a theoretical limit of 33%, which is diminished even more when sunlight is further blocked? Wow! That means they’re horribly inefficient and even more so when less light comes in! Who knew! So really we’re talking about pennies on the dollar at the end of the day when something like supplying a grid at a larger level would mean nuclear.

I wholeheartedly agree with that. Doesn’t seem like anyone is though unfortunately.

That is excellent and cost effective, however what then when there’s no sun out or it’s cloudy? Will you not travel?

Right. And how many countries currently use or are planning to use this In a large scale capacity besides France? Oh yea.

No need to be a dickhead.

Wasn't there a study showing a large correlation between CEOs actually being psychopaths? Supposedly that's the trait that makes them hyper successful since they only care about themselves?

Damn. I remember seeing a Reddit AMA when I first came across Protonmail some 7-odd years ago with the Protonmail CEO saying something along the lines of "we don't plan on moving out of Switzerland because other country's intelligence agencies concern us more than the Swiss intelligence" and I thought that was a good take. Hell, I still do in lieu of everything going on.

I wonder what happens now that they will be "physically diversifying across Europe".
