@IanStockport @sjarichards @LoftusSteve Oh. So who is making data centre sized SMRs?

English

Ian@IanStockport·2h

@Hankey_Chief @sjarichards @LoftusSteve The Rolls Royce desig is too large for data centers. They make the maximise size that is possible to transport in many parts rather then the smallest economics size.

Sam Richards@sjarichards·9h

This is often presented as a silver bullet - but it’s an illusion. The link is the reality of a majority renewables system. Our civilisation depends on us having electricity every minute, of every hour, of every day. And for that you always need to have sufficient firm capacity -gas - to cover days, weeks, of no wind and no sun. One way or another, this has to be paid for. The real way you break the link? A clean power source that doesn’t require gas backup: nuclear.

@IanStockport @sjarichards @LoftusSteve Yes that would be extremely groovy. Let’s go Rolls Royce!!

Ian@IanStockport·3h

@Hankey_Chief @sjarichards @LoftusSteve I hope the demand for SMR to power USA data centers will change economics.

English

Alistair@Hankey_Chief·3h

@IanStockport @sjarichards @LoftusSteve Sure, but we have to work within the constraints of what we have. I doubt power demand is high enough to warrant enough nuclear plants to generate the scale needed to really lower costs. Maybe SMRs will do this but that remains to be seen

English

Ian@IanStockport·3h

@Hankey_Chief @sjarichards @LoftusSteve That because we premit people who hate nuclear power to increase the cost of building nuclear power stations and we have a planning system the rewards creating paperwork.

English

Alistair@Hankey_Chief·3h

@IanStockport @sjarichards @LoftusSteve Sure, but the nuclear power itself is frightfully expensive right now

English

Ian@IanStockport·3h

@Hankey_Chief @sjarichards @LoftusSteve With Nuclear you only need about 12hr storage.

Some tough love in this paper. Also v astutely observes that the Greens have committed to a "No Women In Prisons" policy as well as total gender self-ID at the same time.

@clashreport Sorry to burst your bubble, but he knew it wasn’t a real Bible verse: x.com/efischberger/s…

Eitan Fischberger@EFischberger

Naturally, this Turkish psyop account, and the Russian state media outlet it's quoting, omit the part where Sec. Hegseth explicitly acknowledges the reference is a riff on Ezekiel 25:17. The psyop is right in front of you. It's not even a clever one. Open your eyes.

@DarrenBar88 If you think that’s good pay for a CEO, why dint you go and pitch to Tesco your skills? They can save several million on their wage bill which you could then use to reduce food prices!

People crying because a CEO would only get paid £140 an hour. £140 an hour!! An hour!!!

Max@maxcownie_

The first is ridiculous. Tesco employee could earn £14 an hour and you want the CEO to work for £140 an hour🤣 Then get taxed half. Nah😂

I guess a lot of people don’t understand that someone’s productivity can be over 10x higher than someone else’s, and that the work is such that it won’t be done without a proportionate incentive.

Remember that the UK Govt is reportedly considering introducing a requirement that architects be hired to submit any planning application? This is some nice revealed preference evidence of how much people *don't* want to live under such requirements.

Women bus and train drivers in Boston earn less than men, even in a unionized work place where conditions are all identical. It is difficult to think of this as being due to anything other than different preferences. Equalizing wages would make us worse off. 1/

We have now ended up in the absurd situation of incentivising virulently homophobic men from the developing world to pretend to be gay. And unless you can get them to break (like in the case below), it's very difficult to deny them.
