Vieläkö Venezuelalla ja Guyanalla on rajakiistoja? Voiko USAlla olla kiinnostusta ratkaista rajakiista väkivalloin Guyanan hyväksi, jotta siellä ennestään operoivat jenkkiyhtiöt pääsevät raja-alueen öljyesiintymiin käsiksi?

For less than the price of one basic 800 W #balconysolar unit + installation in California (> 2000 USD?) you could get a #Balkonkraftwerk in Germany with:
-4x 500 W panels = 2000 W total
-inverter limited to 800 W feed-in
-integrated 1,6 kWh battery

...costing 1.379 EUR or 1.600 USD

Rubio 10 years ago:
"...Ukraine signed this agreement with USA, UK, Russia in 1994
saying, if you give up you nuclear weapons we will come to your rescue

Now, one country has invaded Ukraine

Think about other countries: can they trust security promises of the free world?"

It would be funny, if there weren't numerous incompetent politicians in countries like Finland just lining up to order more overpriced nuclear reactors with taxpayer money, while crowding out private investments in technologies that actually do work profitably.

Seems like the Zuma family is still loyal to Putin, 10 years after Jacob Zuma visited Putin in Moscow and returned with a 76 billion dollar deal to build 8 Russian nuclear reactors in South Africa.

Financially, the deal was insane, but shows how far friendship goes.

A similar "Hot-Rocks" thermal battery deployed in Thailand for a cement factory. Only 33MWh but higher temperature.

The manufacturer #Rondo includes the option of boosting superheated steam for the turbine, something #PolarNightEnergy is still prototyping.

Even the mainstream media in Germany are acknowledging how unfair the media in Finland has been towards Sanna Marin.

(S+) Finnische Ex-Regierungschefin Sanna Marin: »Ich musste mich fragen lassen, wie viel Alkohol ich getrunken hatte«
Vier Jahre regierte Sanna Marin Finnland, doch hängen blieb bei vielen vor allem ein privates Tanzvideo. Hier spricht sie über Sexismus in der Politik und das Leben danach.

I took this photo yesterday in a museum exhibition on Christian art. The origins of Christianity and child sacrifice are not that far apart.

... In essence that #sandBattery is a heating station that can continuously provide 2 MW of renewable heat for 10 days straight when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine.

The price is negative when there is a lot of wind. The system is inflexible, wind and nuclear are no ideal combination. Wind could curb output but might have PPA obligation. Paper mills have committed to buy nuclear, even when they don't need it. Many mills closed so demand is less than expected

Das selbe gilt für USA. Utah hat #BalconySolar bereits bis zu 1200W zugelassen. Weitere 20-30 Bundesländer sind dabei.

Jedoch sind die Preise deutlich höher, 1000 US$ für eine Anlage.

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.
