Strange, they are sold everywhere.
Even with the stupid tariffs, they meet your price limit.
Oh, you are living in the USA, where the battery myth/lie is very strong?
Which turbine?
The steam turbine or the gas turbine?
The gas turbine is synched to the grid in 30seconds or less and on full output in 90sec.
The current price explosions for reactors under construction says otherwise.
And for what exactly would punny 40GW be of wny use?
Not even to question where to build them and how to prevent riots and turmoil?
The people don't want nuclear power. How fucking stupid are your?
Nuclear is not clean.
Hence we exited.
Of course they pay for the grid.
It is just not a seperate Item in the bill.
The electricity price for German households ist easy to Google. So why invent absurd numbers?

The cheapest price ist below 30cents. The price ist high because the Power companies can get away with it. That ist all.
Power in your country is likely highly subsidized
The percentage of renewables was 64% in 2025, not 56%.
For Aldi, which uses Instacart, I assumed it was because there is no 'fee' for pickup, but they have to pay someone to shop for you. I consider the difference a convenience fee.
That said, by not shopping in store, I end up getting only what is on my list and end up paying FAR LESS than I would if I was wandering around.
Are there negative implications to these reactors becoming one of the 20-40 ships per year that end up on the bottom of the ocean?
That was the first question that came to mind.
Arduino responded to this recent drama just a few days ago, saying "Our 20-year commitment to open-source is unwavering" with a good explanation of the new T&C.

I believe Arduino is sincere with their statement.
One man speaking with Adafruit's social media accounts seems to feel otherwise. He probably believes he's doing good by raising the alarm. Maybe some of the points have some merit? But the tone really looks like an attempt to stir up drama and harm Arduino's reputation.
Adafruit does have history with Arduino. In 2015 when Arduino had serious internal division and conflict, Adafruit was manufacturing brand name Arduino Uno under some sort of license deal. That arrangement ended sometime in 2016. Adafruit quickly launched a product line of essentially Arduino clone boards named "Metro". Does any of that matter? Maybe, maybe not. But when reading what really looks like an attack on Arduino's long-established reputation coming from official Adafruit channels, best to keep in mind those 2 companies have a history.
I also have some history with Arduino, having made an Arduino-compatible board and contributed code and help over the years. I've personally met the Arduino developers and Arduino leadership folks several times at conferences. They are genuinely good people who've poured a lot of effort into trying to good in the world.
Maybe Arduino change for the better or for the worse with Qualcomm. I don't have a crystal ball. But I'm trying to keep an open mind and not get caught up in fear over basically boilerplate legalese.
Maybe we can revisit that idea in 10 or 20 years.
Climb in your time machine and go back 30 years or so and look up General Magic. They had ambitions of developing an ecosystem where their device could be a self-directing agent on the owner's behalf - scouring the network (wasn't really The Internet quite yet) and find things, like concert tickets and restaurant reservations, and book them for you.
It was way too early for such ambitious ideas.
(Don't comment that I don't know what I'm talking about. I was there - collaborating with Marc Porat - in the early days).
I found GP2.5 to be great at academic-style research and writing; it was absolutely awful at writing code. So; I would tell it to plan some thing for me and write it in a way that could be used by another agent (Claude Code) to build the code to do the thing. In this way, it has been great! I haven't yet attempted it with 3.
That said, I found GP3.0's page to be hilarious:
It demonstrates PhD-level reasoning with top scores on Humanityâ(TM)s Last Exam (37.5% without the usage of any tools) and GPQA Diamond (91.9%). It also sets a new standard for frontier models in mathematics, achieving a new state-of-the-art of 23.4% on MathArena Apex.
It then proceeds to show, lower down on the page, an example of what it can do, by showing off 'Our Family Recipes". If there's anything that touts PhD-level reasoning and writing, it's a recipe book.
The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the fabricator and impossible for the serviceman.
