Furthermore, any construction company or municipality who builds a bunch of these surely knows the nightmare the structures will be in 30 years. They will all get torn down and someone will be held liable to for the check.

Reply to New solar capacity 10 times cheaper than gas, says intelligence company Rystad by EnergyTransitionNews

10 times is waaaaay low. It’s already cheaper to build a new solar array than it is to refuel a natural gas power plant once.

I did not miss it. I left it out on purpose because it’s obvious.

Mars has “generally been considered a dead planet?” Scientists have been pushing forth theories stating the opposite for longer than most of us have been alive.

Reply to comment by Spiderbanana in Nation’s First Nuclear-Powered Clean Hydrogen Production Announced. The Nine Mile Point Generating Station, the oldest operating U.S. nuclear power plant, will soon house the nation’s first nuclear-powered clean hydrogen production facility by chopchopped

The waste heat from nuclear power generation has been used to manufacture hydrogen for years.

You could say this article is old and/or misleading, but in the internet age that’s kind of a given.

In any case, this is energy that is otherwise wasted or used for something else. It won’t affect the amount of electricity generated or used. The only thing consumed is water, which yeah will also be a problem in the coming years.

The plant can do both.

Reply to Scientists have proved goldfish do have good memories and are able to navigate their surroundings. A team from Oxford University trained nine fish to travel 70cm (2.3ft) and back, receiving a food reward at the end. The study disproves the long-held belief goldfish have little or no memory. by Tardigradelegs

It doesn’t disprove the memory theory at all. Goldfish have an incredibly keen sense of smell.

New batteries that will change our lives seem to be invented every day.

Haven’t seen a new mass produced battery type for 20 years, tho.
