Must be something in the water supply. As if someone drilled a watering hole to some ancient lore. Nice works.

Imho, the regulations did get overzealous for nuclear power generation.
Perhaps some day we can get storage costs low enough to cover a dunkelflaute. For now, there is a limit to what is possible with renewables & batteries and CO2 risks are far worse.

Oh, you do not know ... cats are actually post-meta hyper intelligences created by za mouse overlords in order to overcome the existential angst experienced by their first generation of creations, so these can finally come up with the ultimate questions; f.e. the pur allows parsing HTML with regex.

Same scaling efficiency applies to all steam turbines, disregarding how steam is generated. Beyond 1 GW, the increase in marginal cost size starts to outweighs the gain in efficiency.

Any magician knows his tricks and understands what his audience sees. It makes a poorer performance when they don't.
And so by natural selection you get a the con artist. Knowing and willing.

Fitzcarraldo is probably my favorite movie of all times. No evil, only willing participants. The antagonist & protagonist are one and the same person.

For me, the spice is in the villains. Herzog the Zec was .. a marvel compared to more photogenic ones s.a. Doctor Doom.
Woyzeck or Aguirre might be more lifelike depictions of the "banality" of evil.

Even so, at this point LLMs are a hall or mirrors who are somewhat good at answering questions, but very bad at asking new ones.

In case of Iowa: corn was already their core business, excellent wind, mediocre sun. For solar, you also need more skilled workers per MW, especially residential ones. Slightly crowded out in tight labor market, ethanol still going.

Yes. Defenitly true.
I do hope demand does not resurge as oversupply drives down prices. Heavy industries stocks have been going bonanza lately, also the South Korean LNG shipbuilders.
