Hmmm, no.I thought France shut down their nuclear power plants to go green.
And nuclear is technically green.

That was Germany, France still has theirs going. Now Germany is going to be short on gas, but not that easy to just fire up the old plants. They shut them down due to the issues at Fukushima Japan back in 2011.I thought France shut down their nuclear power plants to go green.
If we're talking specifically Tesla, their batteries are manufactured different than anyone else, their cathodes are in a grid which makes it so that just one battery can't be replaced without breaking the connections to all the other batteries in that grid, but maybe someone will build a factory to do it.Probably not. Some say that the battery packs could last 15 years and maybe by then, they'd do the same thing that gets done with a Prius, someone removes the battery pack and just rebuilds or replaces the individual packs or batteries that are bad and they continue to use it. So instead of dropping 8k or more for a new battery pack, probably just 1-2k for a repair/replacement of a few batteries/section.
No, they've scrapped the plan to reduce nuclear capacity to 50% and are now planning on building 16 new EPR's.I thought France shut down their nuclear power plants to go green.
How exactly do you put cylindrical cells together so their cathode is In a grid?If we're talking specifically Tesla, their batteries are manufactured different than anyone else, their cathodes are in a grid which makes it so that just one battery can't be replaced without breaking the connections to all the other batteries in that grid, but maybe someone will build a factory to do it.
Thanks, lol! It's a bit of a passion of mine.@OVERKILL
dude. Ive noticed your posts on power generation and transport for at least 2 years now. You never really advertise much of yourself. But dang. If you came to town to do an 8 hour brain dump, I’d show up to take notes. Respect.

Not sure I follow... Tesla builds their charging network; they are the only car company to do so. This has been going on for over 10 years.I'm just going to go ahead and presume that Tesla will have Uncle Sam fitting the bill for at least the vast majority of very large cost of building a bunch of chargers that won't earn them any money.

hmm, dont think they ever start them again... Will be interesting in winter time if EU goes back to stone ageThat was Germany, France still has theirs going.

Not sure what they did to the old ones, probably not that easy to start them up again, but 3 were scheduled to shut down at the end of the year, but those they'll probably keep running.hmm, dont think they ever start them again... Will be interesting in winter time if EU goes back to stone age. Or will they forget the war in Ukraine, and start buying natural gas from Russia again
Electrical bills are 6x more than before and the storm haven't arrived yet
Yes, and the three that were shuttered at the beginning of the year are likely able to be restarted relatively easily, if the decision was made to do so.Not sure what they did to the old ones, probably not that easy to start them up again, but 3 were scheduled to shut down at the end of the year, but those they'll probably keep running.
lets hope they keep running them, problem was that they did put to much faith in the NS 2. I knew it would fail.Not sure what they did to the old ones, probably not that easy to start them up again, but 3 were scheduled to shut down at the end of the year, but those they'll probably keep running.
I have driven that before cell phones were a thing(1992) in a 150k VW Jetta. I did have a pager but completely uselessThere is no way I'm driving across the country in any gas powered vehicle with 300 to 400 thousand. Miles on the odometer. Have you been to the middle of no where Nevada, Wyoming, or Montana? Oh- no cell phone reception BTW.
