Actually, starting with the X, the S does not overheat anymore. Tesla did some great work on motor and battery cooling so that X could handle 5-7.5 tonne loads. Yes, it is rated for less, but the X can handle 7 tonne.
Nah. Please skip buying EVs. Within 5 years, you will find it is slim pickings for new cars, BUT you will be able to buy used 2 y.o S class MB for 10-20,000.
Lol. We charge our Tesla via a simple 120v, 20 a plug. Works fine. And when Xcel stops screwing us over in Colorado, I will move 240v and charge at nighttime.
P100d is actually in production. Has been for a bit. If you own a p90d, you can update your car via console ( and $10,000 ) and your car becomes p100d via software update.
The UK is a mixed picture. Emissions have been reduced by 16 per cent, bucking the trend of other pro-nuclear countries. However, only five per cent of its energy comes from renewables, which is among the lowest in Europe, pipped only by Luxembourg, Malta and the Netherlands.
They, like you, are more concerned about the energy being renewables than they are about lowering their CO2. That alone makes the study suspect.
The problem is, that our issue today, is the fact that we became dependent on one main form of energy, which is fossil fuels. We need to have a diversified energy matrix. UK is correct in seeking to keep nukes going. They are also correct in pushing solar and wind. With these 3, they can have CHEAP energy, combined with energy security.
Here in the states, I look forward to getting my powerwall on our house. Between a 10 KW solar system, an 85 kwh MS, a coming Model 3, and hopefully, a 10 kwh battery, I think that we shall have energy independence in OUR house.
fantasy scenarios? You have to be kidding. Volcanoes blow all the time. The west coast has multiple volcanos that are bigger than mt. st. helens and that have been quiet for a LONG time. IOW, they are due. When MSH went, it dropped solar in the west a good 10-15%. In addition, that also lowered our winds.
No, using SMRs such as Trans Atomic and Flible that can use nothing but 'waste' is the answer.
In fact, 1 thing I would love to see is for B&W to come up with a design for the back-end and a 'test-tube' rack for adding SMRs, with a set of standardized hook-ups. This way, mPower, nuScale, Trans Atomic, Flible, etc can be added or substituted in. In addition, it makes it FAST to add and tear down these units.
Ft st vrain ran great except for some h2o sensors in the back area. The reactor itself was rock solid. The problem was Everytime the sensor went off, they had to scam the system at which point it would take a month before it could restart.
And even when Xcel bought our company, they shut it down in the first year so as to move to coal and Nat gas. At the same time, they sold off our Nat gas lines and then bought from companies that the executives owned. Xcell remains a nightmare of a company.
Finally, the decommissioning of fsv was the fastest and cheapest that has been done.
Sounds was not a scam. Their issue was that china dumped on America before companies like this could compete.
Sadly, our gov seems to encourage China to dump on us.
You are letting your little far right extremism brain think for the big brain.
Carter stopped it, rightly, and raygun restarted it. In addition reprocessing is not the right solution.
No, it was not by GE. Tepco was told to add generators, just like we have in America. Their management cut corners and did not put it there counting on being able to get energy from the grid.
No, it doesn't. It does at the moment, but if we use the 'waste' in gen 4 reactors, not only do we not mine more, but, the 5% remaining is safe in 200 years.
Oh, the money is there and should cover it, depending on management.
But, even better would be to use that money to add SMRs like trans atomic and flible and then burn up the nuke waste that they have. In the mean time, the profits would be used to take down the old inefficient reactors.

Actually, the battery no longer overheats. Issue was solved with the X.
Considering that 100,000 S and X have already been sold, and that demand is higher than what they can supply, I would say no.

Love how our 85 handles the road. I have not taken it to a track, but on regular roads, this car tracks well and handles like a decent sports car.

Nissan is not only lower cost, but much lower resale value. And once M3 hits the market, I would guess that Nissan resale will plummet.
Really? So gm, Ford, and Chrysler who got actual handouts are not able to even come close to Tesla, who borrowed money.
This paragraph says a lot about the study:

trans atomic and flible can both do that.

simple helicopters would have done the trick. The issue is that the management did not plan on this and simply let this go.

and yet, it was solid and profitable towards the end. The problem was that a backend expensive part needed replacement.

Hey, quit letting facts get in the way.
Really? What weapon line did obama override the military and stop production of?

Actually, the best place was in.west Texas. Guess why bush chose nv.
No. Wind is not bad, but solar still does not approach nuclear for ROI.
