EMERGENCY HEATING 🪵 Wood stoves can be used as a scalable solution, as soon as this winter It has been done before! In Eastern Europe, when district heating networks failed for whatever reasons. It works. In this video, I explain all that I know about it (link in replies 👇)

@alex_avoigt Even with the article you cite, nuclear is still a significant CO2 reduction vs fossil power But if you read the article in detail, most of the emissions come from building and dismantling, which means that closing nukes early increases the average CO2/kWh

I have no idea what's going on in Kursk, but if Ukraine wanted to capture Russian territory to use during negotiations, that's a 100% legitimate and legal strategy And it does not constitute an escalation, since Russia has already used this strategy in this war

So, basically, Tesla has won the price war? When EV prices were high, competitors probably thought that they could sell EVs at a loss which was smaller than the value they would bring in (avoided purchases of) regulator credits 1/6

Tesla promised to deliver a $35k Model 3 in 2017, when average new car prices were $35k They failed But today they're delivering a $38k Model 3, when average new car prices are $48k And the current Model 3 is higher quality in every way than the one promised back then
