Renewables + storage (batteries, etc.) can be more than enough. And you can get that in a much lower cost, at a much faster time than nuclear.

The same person has also published studies and plans for 100% renewables in the USA and in the world.

All of which he updates every couple of years.
He also posted a list of the top 10 states by electricity demand met by renewables (Which is also in the linked pdf).
There's also a list of countries by renewables percentage, but it's from 2021:

South Dakota produced 110% of its electricity demand with just renewables for a year
Fascinating new EIA data South Dakota produced 110% of its electricity demand with just Wind-Water-Solar for the full year Oct 1 '23-Sep 30 '24 77.5% Wind 30.1% Water 2.2% Solar Also produced 16.8% gas, 11.7% coal So SD produced 138% of demand, exporting 38% https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/...

The Spanish building integrated PV manufacturer has launched glass-glass modules suitable for rooftops and other urban spaces. The new products have a nominal capacity of 75 W.
A Japan-Italy research team say they have developed a simple and convenient method for recovering copper wires from PVC cables that involves the use of microwave radiation and avoids the generation or use of toxic chemicals.
Ukraine is making its infrastructure harder for Russia to destroy by building clean energy sources
> Attacks on two DTEK solar farms last spring is a good example. They destroyed many solar panels and some of the transformers, which step up voltage for long distances or step it down for use in homes. Replacing the transformers and swapping out destroyed panels allowed the farms, which generate 400 megawatts, to be back up in seven days.
> Timchenko said an attack on a thermal generating station, which experienced a similar amount of damage, took three to four months to rebuild.
Nuclear ‘Renaissance’ Recalls Past Boondoggles, Legacy of Failures
> Dr. Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford University, citing his 2019 analysis he still stands by, serves as an expert witness for the environmental coalition opposing Palisades’ restart. Jacobson has testified that “a fixed amount of money spent on a new nuclear plant means much less power generation, a much longer wait for power, and a much greater emission rate than the same money spent on WWS [wind, water, and sunlight] technologies.”
> Dr. Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, authored “Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy” in 2007. It was the first technical study on the feasibility of generating all U.S. energy from fossil fuel- and nuclear-free sources, including renewables such as wind and solar, combined with efficiency and storage.
> Dr. Makhijani concluded then that, by the year 2030 (that is, within a quarter-century), fossil fuels and nuclear power could be phased out of the U.S. economy, and replaced with carbon-free and nuclear-free alternatives, for the same percentage of our gross domestic product currently devoted to those dirty, dangerous, and expensive energy sources. This could be accomplished with no more carbon-free, nucledar-free technological breakthroughs required.
The game is very unique.
Really got excited about it, especially after I played through the demo. I loved the vibe, the art, the music.
But denuvo and the price were the blockers for me.
Solar module prices reached a new low this week, says Leen van Bellen, business development manager Europe for Search4Solar, a European purchasing and selling platform for solar products. He tells <b>pv magazine</b> that prices will remain low in the short term.
Dendrite doesn't support sliding sync afaik https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite/issues/3236
Other than Synapse, I know Conduwuit has sliding sync support.
Lithium-ion batteries power everything from our vape pens to electric cars, but they have one glaring issue: they rely on lots of hard-to-harvest lithium. A new reactor from Rice University is set to make the whole process easier and safer.
The eDumper makes a good case for going fully electric with heavy-duty construction, mining, and industrial equipment.
Wind turbines and photovoltaics (PVs) are becoming increasingly widespread worldwide, which could contribute to reducing air pollution caused by fossil fuel emissions. To produce energy, however, these renewable energy solutions rely on specific weather conditions (e.g., the presence of wind and suf...
Amprius Technologies has shipped its A-Sample EV cells to Ford, GM, and Stellantis' United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC).
> Amprius’ new SiMaxx cells hit an impressive 360 Wh/kg in energy density – far beyond the USABC’s target of 275 Wh/kg. What does that mean for EV drivers? Simply put, longer range without a bulkier battery. Plus, these cells have a power density of 1200 W/kg, meaning more efficient energy delivery.
For years I’ve followed progress of the STREEK cargo trike, a fascinating-looking electric cargo carrier from Japan. This utility-focused electric...
Neat! Glad to hear
Yeah they've done a good job with their documentation.
I was tempted by it several times already to try some features I didn't even consider using.
That's a weird comparison to make. The Aptera is smaller and uses different materials.
Afaik it's going to be classified as a motorcycle in many states in the USA, but they're still aiming for a high rating. I know they have crumple zones and a safety cell made from composites akin to F1 cars.
Whether what they're planning will be enough, we'll only know for sure once they test it.
The math works quite well as long as the information is accurate.
Of course things can always turn up to be different in the end product.
But from the information we have now, ~4 hours of good sunlight conditions will be enough for 43 miles.
The body weighs around 360kg, with a 60kwh battery it supposedly weighs around 800kg (the smallest and lightest option is 25kwh), with a drag coefficient of 0.13.
In comparison to some of the most efficient cars - the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is around 1,860kg with a drag coefficient of 0.21. Tesla Model 3 is around 1760kg with a drag coefficient of 0.219.
It's going to be a whole lot more efficient than the average car just based on these numbers.
Now it depends on how much of the car's surface will be covered by the solar panel and what's the panel's efficiency.
Or 43 miles in Aptera's case

Summer Eternal has Tuulik and Red Info has Rostov and Kurvitz
Just a rule of thumb for the future, don't use a DRAMless QLC SSD as an OS drive.
Or even just a QLC SSD.
Newmaxx has a spreadsheet with details and recommendations - https://borecraft.com/
I've also been thinking of getting the NM790. Just take into account it has no DRAM.
Just pointing out that Jew is also an ethnicity (since you wrote "the Jewish religion").
Yup.
Tailscale has some documentation about it, and also a bunch of examples (And apparently one specific to Immich).
Since you already got some replies, a bit of a different approach would be to set those services up using Docker and having Tailscale as a sidecar to each one of those.
You will then be able to access each one as a seperate device. immich.*.ts.net etc.
This seems to be a step towards a solution / a solution.
Although there's a company which has supposedly already solved it completely.
Oxford PV recently had a commercial sale of a perovskite solar panel with a 25 year guarantee
By adapting the formulation and synthesis of the perovskite and the cell design and encapsulation optimization, Oxford PV succeeded in mitigating stability-related deficits and aims at providing future buyers of their modules with the industry-standard 25 year performance guarantee
Using atomic layer deposition, a research team from the City University of Hong Kong has created an an oxygen-deficient tin oxide layer to replace the more common fullerene electron transport layer in perovskite solar cells. The result is a 25%-efficient device that is able to retain around 95% of i...
