Comment Entire article is misinformation (Score 5, Informative) 178

This is the kind of article I would expect in Pravda in the "good" old days of the Soviet Union.

These are some of the lies in the article:

The "ban" never existed, it was just a decision not to plan for nuclear power. Lifting the "ban" will not allow anyone to build nuclear reactors; that requires a separate legal framework.

The Danish grid has solved the inertia problem by buying commercial off-the-shelf synchronous compensators, at a far lower cost than implementing nuclear power.

The "ban" is not being lifted yet, the government is merely ordering an analysis of whether it makes sense to remove it.

Nuclear power is not being considered because it might help grid stability but because some people / politicians are worried about the fluctuating prices of electricity.

Indeed, it makes zero sense.

Broadcom, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to redefine the term "zero day".

"Broadcom defines a zero-day security patch as a patch or workaround for Critical Severity Security Alerts with a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score greater than or equal to 9.0."

So for Broadcom, zero day just means "really bad".

The main problem with limited payload is that you need a pilot or 2 per payload. Eliminate the pilots and this problem goes away.

That obviously still leaves the range problem, but there are a lot of flights that take less than half an hour. They have pretty terrible fuel economy today, so the savings from going electric are huge.

Hydrogen is not practical to store for an extended time, like on a long haul ship. If you want to store it, turn it into ammonia and burn that.

However, there are literal deposits of hydrogen sitting around that you can drill into and get close to free hydrogen. Yet no one does that. That by itself shows that the "hydrogen economy" is a lie.

In normal cars I can turn the lights on without having to look away from the road. Not so in the Tesla, unfortunately.

It is rarely needed because the automatic lights are pretty good, but light fog is a weak spot. It is reasonably common to see Teslas in light fog without the rear lights on.

The Dacia Duster is massively cheaper than its competition. People compare a new Dacia to 3 year old competitors, and often the safety standards have evolved enough to make that comparison come out close. Obviously a new 5-star car is better, but for people on a budget that is not an option.

I haven't adjusted the temperature in my car in well over a year. Climate control is a thing which we should expect works well, not something we should need to micromanage.

The car has so far proved itself unable to figure out how I am dressed and how to adjust the temperature accordingly. 21C inside is not equally comfortable when it is 30C outside and when it is -10C.
