cross-posting from the c-spam thread (via forums poster gschmidl)IFO Institute Center for Economic Studies posted:ifo Schnelldienst: Electric Vehicles are not a Panacea for Climate Change Full study (PDF, in German) e: my German is pretty terrible but as far as I can tell from skimming the PDF, this result is in large part because 52% of the the German electrical power generation is fossil in origin. 22.7% comes from lignite which is particularly terrible as far as CO2 emissions go.

ArmZ posted:they will or have shutdown all their nukes also, I think they are trying to do more solar in the future though. We are on our way of shutting down the last ones since they have scale down contracts for the newest ones in order to get the older reactors of the grid faster. We also set up a plan to completely drop lignite by 2040 or 2035 don't remember exactly. The study is good I know some of the names involved personally although they have been getting flak for being all too public about how electric cars aren't that cool for the environment. The short and long term advice of a transition to CNG and ultimately regenerative methane is spot on, especially because we can synthesize it in bio reactors from waste co2 in large scale and will have a ton of The methane power accumulation cycle in regenerative grids is what practically everyone here waits for apart from the government that'll need another legislation period to understand what that even is and why we need it and why it invalidates BEVs for everything but urban applications, but as usual the clocks in regenerative energy tick rather slowly. Also lol at complaining about planned obsolescence in a thread about modern, let alone electric automobiles. If you hate the thought of planned obsolescence don't buy a car from this decade apart from maybe a Lada niva and that really stretches "this decade" Combat Theory fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Apr 22, 2019 |

the lidar thing reminds me of around the time of the playstation 3 launch, when a bunch of sony execs did interviews where they shat repeatedly on how nobody cares whether a game controller has rumble or not. this was of course completely unrelated to an ongoing lawsuit about controller patents and they definitely didn't release a rumble controller right after the lawsuit was wrapped up

I am very much pro Nuclear energy but i would not want it in corporate hands here and the government was so busy privatizing the poo poo out of this country ill be dead of old age 3 times before nationalization of Power Generation even becomes a cohesive sentence again. Does have its upsides though as i said before we signed the plans to drop lignite completely within 15 years or so which is about as much as one can realistically ask from this lubed up turbo production country.

the main problem with nuclear power, as it's always been, is that even minor mishaps can have effects that are problems for several thousand years, let along massive meltdowns that basically mean you have to be okay with entire regions of your country becoming uninhabitable and that's when things go wrong, when things go right you still have the issue of what will you do with the byproducts that could do precisely the same thing if stored improperly, or even properly

fishmech posted:dont forget that it's massively profitable for fossil fuel interests if nuclear is shut down lol Not really its run by the same companies here and they obviously opposed the Nuclear ban. it was a post fukushima publicity gag really and to appease the Greens which left the car industry alone afterwards fishmech posted:
Nuclear Power is something that doesnt belong in the private hand simply. When Safety so directly opposes Profit its just not sensible. America has emitted enough radioactivity from its commercial Power plants to kill thousands of people and Luck is no real justification for continous operation.

fishmech posted:america of all places, has never managed to kill anyone with a nuclear power plant failure in like 50 years of commercial operation my experience with German engineering makes me think they would do a fantastic job at building a reactor which extracted 80% more energy and improved the responsiveness to load changes but which would be out of commission in 10 years due to a needlessly esoteric part which was used in place of a bolt somehow breaking and requiring full disassembly to replace. if Tesla built a nuclear reactor it would fry every electrical device on the grid due to its poorly trained AI determining that voltage sags below 120V at consumer outlets could be eliminated by quadrupling the line voltage.

lets build our plant in this cove that will funnel sea water directly at the reactors in the event of a tsunami which never occurs in japan. what's that? our backup generators are also placed in that same location instead of further up the hill where there is zero chance of them getting flooded out? Perfect.
