Where are they getting the power grid from? These Co-ops going to raise and spend literal trillions of dollars making the infrastructure?
You know why it hasn’t been done? Because there isn’t a plan where it works. The maths doesn’t math.
No that’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying that generating loads and loads of power when no one needs it is leading to power companies having to charge people for feeding into the grid to stop them from doing so, instead of paying them.
Solars biggest problem is that without batteries it’s basically useless now, and grid scale batteries don’t exist, and there’s no real outlook where they are.
Turning your lights and aircon on for 8 hours during the day isn’t going to light and cool your house after dark. .
Having solar panels does not mean “they” can’t cut your power off and ruin your life.
The sun doesn’t shine 24/7, and the amount of batteries you’d need to be able to be completely off grid is prohibitively expensive.
“They” still have you by the balls.
Solar panels require mining and non-renewable materials to make, and are economically non-recyclable, meaning they end up in landfill.
No, the problem at the economic level is that solar generates the large majority of its power when it’s not needed. Power companies don’t need the power because there is massive excess, so they will start charging for feed-in.
It’s like if you got a 20kW solar panel setup but didn’t have batteries and are at work all day every day - yeah you generated a shit-tonne of power, but you didn’t use it, couldn’t store it, and you still have to buy electricity as soon as the sun goes down, only now with shrinking profit for the power companies due to excess solar during the day, they charge you now for power at night, meaning you’re power bill increased after getting solar.
We’re already at the part where solar power is like trying to sell ice to Eskimos.
No, it’s not racism lol. It’s like you didn’t read a single word I wrote.
Why would anyone want the CGT discount removed from shares and other non-housing investments though? Those affect renters too. It’s just another tax grab on money that the government has no right to tax.
I’m fine with removing the discount on housing, but there’s no justifiable reason to remove it from everything else. If it’s about housing like they said, why does it apply to shares?
They’ve also done nothing to address the actual biggest issue - supply and demand. Nothing to increase supply, nothing to decrease demand.
HDR is not “imperceptible”.
Also you talk about playing competitive games, yet you are on Linux, an OS where most of the popular competitive games aren’t available?
Games don’t run better on Linux. They run better on a fresh Linux install than on an old beat up Windows install. On a clean new windows install Windows beats Linux almost every time.
Linux gaming will never be anything more than a niche until they get the anticheat issue sorted. Good luck to Linux and the Steam machines when GTA6 comes out on PC and they can’t play it. All of the biggest and most played games basically don’t work on Linux.
I also can’t remember the last time Windows was the cause of an issue with a game I’ve tried to play. Haven’t had to do any tweaking outside of the actual game settings.
No, talking about the steam machine. There are still people that think it’s going to release at like $400-$500 lol. It’s going to be over $1k for PS4 level power.
No shit. Coal works at night though.
