As soon as we have byte code morphing, augmentation, aspect oriented programming on LLVM based environments, they will be again. And I happy jump back to C++ when it has that, e.g. reflection, serialization etc.
Which is quite telling since they are even greater than radioactive emissions from nuclear power plants. Wrong and irrelevant. The two big accidents, Chernobyl and Fukushima, releases million times more radiation as all the coal plants since 1880.
Scrubbers aren't run 100% of the time, In my country, they do. No idea about your retarded country.
and they aren't 100% effective 99.95% ?
and the waste from scrubbers and fly ash is nearly as problematic as the stuff they want to stash in Yucca Mountain. Considering that the worst of them are close (but below) to the level of an open uranium pit mine: No, not at all.
Against popular believe: a) Europe is not that way b) high skilled Engineers are in high demand c) plenty of European countries are easy to access for english speaking Engineers, e.g. Netherlands, Denmark, and the rest of Skandinavia
Germany or Switzerland might be a bit more tricky, but should be no problem. France and Italy have "language problems" but it is doable.
On the other hand you always could go to Asia. High demand on Engineers, emerging countries are interesting.
And all of the above have "normal health care insurance" and not the brain dead american system. Even Thailand is better than the USA regarding public health care.
OTOH London pays absurd prices for C# developers. Around 800pounds per day.
However it is not challenging enough (for me) to jump from Java to C# (and attempting to tell a recruiter they are just different names for the same thing anyway)
If I ever will not be get a job I want because of age, I wait in the garage and beat the decision maker to pulp. I hope it will be a young super sportive super muscular super aggressive guy...
There's anthracite (glossy black coal) and there's lignite (brown coal). Anthracite is relatively clean burning yes, but brown coal, which is used in a lot of places like Germany, is really dirty. That is nonsense. Every coal plant has the exact same pollution requirements. And every coal plant has the exact same scrubbers....
I really wonder how stupid the mainstream/. poster meanwhile is.
Plus the radioactives. Mustn't forget that. (A) Yes, there are radioactive elements in coal. (2)Which typically go up the smokestack in a coal plant. 1) Wrong. Only some coals contain radioactives (aka Thorium) 2) Wrong. It gets washed out by scrubbers.
And anyway: the amount of Thorium or rests of Uranium always were so low it was never relevant for anything.
Because coal stack scrubbers aren't actually designed to deal with uranium and thorium... That is nonsense. Scrubbers work actually extremely simple. I suggest to read it up...
B) It doesn't matter how much you wash it, it still pollutes horribly even if you ignore the CO2 mainly due to sulphur dioxide and particulates in the smoke. That is wrong. Since about 1977 or give or take a year or two.
Because then they later would need to reform a North American Union like the European Union, where the "central government" equalizes peoples rights over the whole Union.
That concept would be completely alien to the current citizens of the land of the free.
With the predominant western winds in Finnland, during a catastrophe the fallout will be blown over Russia and the Baltic states. You might think, not bad if the Russians get it back, what they deserve. But then again we will have something like 4million Finns and 12million from the Baltic states evacuated and being displaced over the rest of the EU.
I wonder how many states will do a BREXIT when we get 20million refugees inside of Europe.
Ah.... that was not your point, or was it? Seems I got drawn away...
There is no alternative to Java. Native compilation is completely irrelevant as VMs have jit compilers. It wil probabaly be a decade or more than C++ has the tools and libraries Java has, based on LLVM.
As most Java code is enterprise Java running oa backend, native lok and feel is irrlevant. It is overrated anyway, which you would know if you looked at a typical windows PC. Java running on it mostly looks native, and better than a legacy native app from one or two windows versions before. The ugliest applications on Windows are not Java or other non native applications but native applications where the orogrammers did not care about standards or used their own widget sets.
Erm.... the sea level was 100m lower than now. You could simply walk over on land, which was covered by glaciers, which added another few 1000m height.
I believe that the system was limited (not for global use) to begin with, it was only meant to provide coverage for their part of the world (South Asia). That does not sound very plausible, it would require quite obscure orbits and sets of satellites. And it would mean that indian ships require to have multiple positioning systems.
Charging systems for batteries of the size used in EVs are around 90% efficient, up to 98%. Some time ago I had a discussion, where I was womdering like you about wireless charging, and the guy claimed his EV is wireless charged in the garage and the overall efficiency was over 80%
Well, the mantra in germany is: replacing your car with a new one that uses about 1l less fuel per 100km is not worth it, as the construction of the new car produces more CO2 than you save with it. In relation to your existing car.
Ned too porffraed beter. Not for me, that was easy to read:D it helps to be a "full word reader" and having no need to parse a sentence letter by letter.
The busiest highway system in the world is between Detroit, Michigan(Windsor, Ont is right across the bridge) and Hull, Quebec, right through Southwestern Ontario. Extremely unlikely. The busiest high way system is in my opinion around Paris. One truck after the other for 20h each day. At night you drive 100km far and you see trucks after trucks in 50m distance to each other in that time on the opposing road side coming towards Paris. And I guess if you go to a country like India, Indonesia or China or even Russia, you find many many places that really are busy.
In Europe basically all trucks have a flat front. The idea that it makes overseeing pedestrians easier/more likely is absurd.
And the driving hours you bring up here would put people in jail in Europe. 14-15h in a single 24h period, in Canada? And even more in the US? Sorry... another reason to avoid visiting America and riding on the roads.
proven to cheat on emissions is Volkswagen. That is wrong. All german manufacturers cheated and that is long known. And I doubt there is anyone who did not (that includes the americans)
In Germany we have an experimental highway (actually an ordinary highway, but equipped accordingly) with over the roof electric power lines, just like for trains, but for trucks. It is a highway connecting a cargo center with the airport in Frankfurt. Not very long, just a few km.
With all the various remote charging techniques etc. I expect future (new build) highways to either have electricity for trucks or beamed power for ordinary cars.
I've never understood this anti-EV argument of driving across the country. The problem with the anti crows is very simple. They are super dumb.
If they would be smart, they would introduce every sentence with: "In my life situation" or with "in my country" or "in my daily use" or what ever.
They simply don't grasp: the USA is not like the rest of the world looks. Consider Europe: The trip from Luxembourg via Brussels to Amsterdam is like 420km/260miles, and you have visited 3 european capitals. From Paris to London is probably around 500km/320miles. Paris to Amsterdam just a little bit longer (via Brussels)
There are literally 100ds of millions of potential buyers for EVs. The population in the EU is 750million, a few less after BREXIT, and a few more again when NI and Scotland rejoin.
Some countries already plan stops for licensing new cars with ICE engines.
Of course, regardless of engine type, a huge deal of the population would do the trips I mentioned above either by train or by plane.
My hometown Karlsruhe is from Paris 530km or 610km away, depending on route. The longer route is 10 minutes quicker due to speed limits / motorways etc. However: even while I can drive 6h with no problem, I ALWAYS make a break. French restaurants, even close to highways are usually good quality.
However: instead of spending 6:30h in my car, I rather use a train, 3h. Has a resto, too. Or I get a wine and drink it at my seat, while I watch a movie on my laptop or read a book on my pad.
And: the train ticket is barely more expensive than the fuel and road tolls. If you get a good deal on the train ticket, you pay half for the train than the fuel/toll costs for the road.
A plane trip makes no sense to Paris. Regardless where you land, you have an 1h trip into the center of the town and you pay premium prices. And would need to reach an airport around me first... another hour for the trip and 1h+ check in time.
The dumb US posters who hate EVs, renewable energy and hyperloops etc., simply should get their heads out of their ass... they live in 3rd world country with a few nice shiny towns and don't realize how back water they are.
The anti hyperloop thing is so annoying, I'm 50 years old. When I was 10 I already read about concepts in Switzerland for vacuum tube mag levels. In Germany we have maglev trains since 1987, the planning started 1969!
However there never was a political will to build a real one. And many people, especially politicians never grasped it.
Now, the Chinese run a track and build more tracks. German technology sold to China for an Apple and an Egg, payed with billions of tax payer money in research projects.
I'm really happy that Elon is so fucking rich that he basically can force the innovation and change of the world on the population and stupid ass hole politicians who block everything or have no vision. After more than a hundred years finally a "capitalist" again who is transforming the world instead of exploiting it.

Yes, and how much fuel do you regain if you reprocess spent fuel? Hm? Any idea? ...
Guess not

Obviously the free market is not at play

While in fact he could do it.

We've had the means to re-use spent fuel since the 70s
No you have not.
The USA has no rectors that can use spent fuel in any meaningful way.
You simply don't know what spent fuel is and what reprocessing means and does.
Bottom line, you are just an idiot.
That would be to easy asa solution.
