Switched over to firefox a couple of days ago. The switch was actually very easy because I self-host as much as possible including bookmarks and passwords. Hardest part was finding a new speed dial extension that I liked.

- calendar (synced with ios and outlook)
- tasks (synced with ios and outlook so I can ask Siri to add a reminder and it appears automagically in my PC Outlook as a task)
- notes (with the notes ios app)
- bookmarks (synced with Floccus)
- phonetrack (using owntracks ios app)

There are plenty of firming options (battery, pumped hydro, flywheels etc) which deliver reliability for a fraction of the price of this boondoggle. Not to mention a diverse portfolio of renewable technologies spread over a large geographical area is actually quite stable. When the sun isn't shining in one area, the wind may be blowing or the sun shining in another area.
I'm curious what this will cost. There is another story (not sure what sub) about a new nuclear plant producing just over 2 gigawatts and costing about 35 BILLION.
Good point but that is not insurmountable. There are many ways to achieve predictability (batteries, hydro, tidal) that also come on stream much quicker than any nuclear plant.
Killed 35 people during construction
14 years and 35 billion (combined with #4 which has not been finished) and didn't generate a single kWh in anger until now. Put the same investment into renewables and it would generate similar or greater energy and would start doing so within a year.
The argument against nuclear now is not about safety. It is about money. Nuclear simply cannot compete without massive subsidies.
