Basicly this. People here dont feel like we 'owe' ukraine anything, we have our 'own problems'. Here in Holland ukraine mainly gets in the news about our referendum (we will have one comming summer if we want ukraine signing an tradeagreement with the EU) and the fact that some rich olicharchs ordered the theft of a few famous Dutch paintings from a Dutch museum. Since the ukraine government doesnt want to step up their game, the paintings are still for sale by some ukraine lawyer. Basicly for most people here poland is the easternmost civilized country, just barely. Behind that its only Mad Max in a snow setting. These times with right wing populism being as big is it is, doesnt bring out the best in people. These arent my opinions. Just what I feel is the opinion of the average Joe.

Well, this went downhill quickly. I want to read more about dumb poo poo PiS does and not about military dickwaving of scenarios that will never happen. Edit: thread moved on already. My bad. Great video, made me laugh Martin BadClixx fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Mar 13, 2016 |

It is waiting for the first proper large scale battery. Solar and wind are pretty good of itself, but not without storage. As you can probally imagine, most solar energy is produced during the day while most energy is consumed in the evening (I am talking about consumers). For large industry and probally transport we will probally need a large plant -like system to keep it running. But I think the first suburbs will be producing their own energy (using smartgrids to sell and trade it too neighbours for example) within 20 years. For industry and transport it will probally be gen4 nuclear powerplants, but I am hoping for fusion.

Cat Mattress posted:The best storage is in hydroelectric dams, but there are relatively few of them since they require specific geographic conditions -- you can burn coal anywhere, but you'll need mountains to build a dam. The largest pumped storage power plant in Europe is in France, with just 1800 MW. Based on this, pumped storage hydroelectricity represents just about 1% of total electricity production in Europe. Yea, there is nothing good as of yet. It will probally be some sort of hydrogen battery. Only large. But chemistry isnt my field, so I cant tell much about that.

Baronjutter posted:This is probably better off in the energy thread. But I'd say an ignorance/political obstacle is probably easier to overcome than a technological obstacle with no answer in sight. Solar could be free, but without a way to cheaply and reliably store the energy they're never going to be useful for base load, just a supplement. Put all the money spend on "green energy" subsidies into nuclear PR to the public and maybe have a shot at saving the planet. Or go feel-good solar and wind and burn coal to power everything other than happy green feelings. Good nuclear reactors, so generation 4, will probally take as long to develop as proper PV and wind storage. Up until then, nuclear is just 'okay'. Less co2, but tons of other crap to deal with. All options should be researched. It is dumb to put all the eggs in one basket. But it should be noted that fission research needs less funding from the government because it is already being developed by companies while fusion/pv/wind/storage isnt yet. Edit: ill shut up about energy now. Doesnt belong here

Was russia always such a dick? To be honest, I only started following the developments in EE since the Krim and MH17. If the country was a person, I would assume it was acting like this due to a lack of attention
