Thank you for taking the time.
I'm pretty sure that nuclear power is vastly more expensive to produce and maintain. Especially when comparing to solar/wind, since fossil power isn't desirable at all due to emissions.
Solar and wind generation is so much more efficient than even two decades ago, newer designs of nuclear plants aren't really any more efficient, but safer and more expensive. So I'm still not getting the push for more nuclear.
Ich bin ehrlich gesagt überrascht, dass die Polizei nicht bereits Zugriff auf einen öfters aktualisierten Dump von mindestens öffentlich einsehbaren Daten von Facebook und Co. hat, finde ich aber gut.
Die Aussage mit den veralteten Dienstgeräten in dem Zusammenhang verwundert mich auch. Wenn die jetzt nicht gerade ne Windows 98 Kiste dafür abstellen, kann jeder Raspberry Pi innerhalb von wenigen Stunden mit frei verfügbarer Software abertausende Fotos nach einem bestimmten Gesicht durchsuchen.
Unpassender Vergleich. E-Scooter für den privaten Gebrauch sind klappbar, so groß wie eine größere Sporttasche und meistens von einer regulären Person mit einer Hand tragbar. Und werden bisher im ÖPNV aufgrund ihrer geringen Maße zusammengeklappt als Gepäckstücke gehandhabt.
Alleine, dass sich die Frage realistisch stellt, ist Trauerspiel genug und ein absoluter Gewinn für Russland.

Isn't nuclear one, if not the most, expensive form of energy production once you factor in stuff like maintenance and disposal?
Not trying to do the whole hot take thing here, I genuinely don't get why investing in nuclear is still pursued versus investing in renewable sources when mobility and land isn't an issue.
EDIT:
“Tackling the climate crisis means we must modernize our approach to all clean energy sources, including nuclear,” said Representative Diana DeGette, Democrat of Colorado. “Nuclear energy is not a silver bullet, but if we’re going to get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, it must be part of the mix.”
kind of provides at least a partial answer: Time. Though this quote gave me graphite control rod vibes:
Some Democrats and Republicans in Congress have criticized the N.R.C. for being too slow in approving new designs. Many of the regulations that the commission uses, they say, were designed for an older era of reactors and are no longer appropriate for advanced reactors that may be inherently safer.
Yes, but in fairness: The same is true for iOS or GrapeneOS, though that's for valid reasons.
As much as I'd like to use a Linux phone, it's simply not feasible for almost everybody at the moment.
What do people user their phone for?
Linux phones, at the moment, are way behind Android/iOS in terms of security and, since privacy requires security, also in privacy.
Even stock Android has so many more security features, that it's not even close. Verified boot, exploit mitigation, (working) app sandboxing and so on. Not even speaking of specialized projects like GrapheneOS.
Even if the app ecosystem was there and the OS mature, I'd never run my banking through a Linux phone at the moment.
Man liest ja jetzt schon, wie sich Gemeinden und Bundesstaaten ganz offen damit brüsten, einer ab dem 1. April völlig legalen Tätigkeit mit maximaler Feindseligkeit gegenüberzustehen.
Gepaart damit, dass die Grenzwerte für Leute mit Führerschein voraussichtlich noch auf sich warten lassen und alles andere als fest sind (Grenzwerte gelten ja nicht nur exklusiv für Autos, auch ein E-Scooter ist ein Kraftfahrzeug), wäre es meiner Meinung nach leichtsinnig, sich durch die Mitgliedschaft in einem Verein freiwillig als (in manchen Ländern buchstäblichen) Staatsfeind zu registrieren.
Ich persönlich vermute, dass sich gerade in den Städten diesen Sommer sich viele Leute teilweise zurecht über den penetranten Geruch von manch einem Balkon kommend aufregen werden und vielleicht kommt es auch zu einer tollen Telegramgegenbewegung, die absichtlich männliche Cannabispflanzen anpflanzen, um die Eigenanbauer maximal zu stören.
Wird lustig.
Putting it like that, yeah, sounds about right.
Yeah, the article isn't all that great. Still, the fact that the two exposed employees refused medical treatment suggests to me, that the nature of the substance at least wasn't yet known at that time, since it shouldn't be necessary to even offer that, if the substance was known to be something harmless like baby powder.
Cheers, though!
Yeah, I mostly agree on that. Nuclear may be more expensive and risky, but it's also very predictable. That kind of enables it to act as a sort of safety net to smooth over the variable nature of renewables, though changing the output of a nuclear power plant is a very slow process, AFAIK.
I'm not against nuclear power per se, I'm viewing it as more of a band-aid until more mature and universal grid buffers can fill the gap smoothing out the renewable input. Nuclear may very well be a necessary step for some nations to reach their climate targets, I'm not informed enough to judge that. But I fear that the money invested, lobbying and public opinion influenced by that seemingly easy alternative directly hinder the development and deployment of technologies that lead to a renewable, cheap and reliable grid.
