    First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia
  • By my very very very rough calculations, you could build a large scale solar farm with 3x power output and have enough money left over to build a 33GWh battery. That would more than cover a continuous supply of 1GW.

    How to measure things like a Canadian?

    'Welcome to EV dongle town': the future of EV charging for non-Tesla owners may not be as bad as it looks.
  • I guess the US is just okay with Tesla having a monopoly on EVs?

    What is stopping Elon Musk having a fallout with an another car company in the future, pulling the licensing deal for the charging port and stopping their ability to produce cars?

    Are all other cars in the US doomed to be 2nd tier? Why would Tesla share improvements to charging rate when it could use new versions of the charging system to sell Teslas?

    How is it okay for there to be one price for electricity for Tesla owners and a higher price for non-Tesla owners?

  • That definitely seemed the like the most jank part of their production line. You'd hope they come up with a fix for that. I wouldn't be surprised if a significant portion of their sales are DIY, so getting that right has to be pretty important.
