How can nuclear (fision) energy be safer than wind/solar/hydro? New efficient solar cells should be enough, environment friendly, and safer than other alternatives as long as the manufacturing of these are environment friendly as well. Also, everyone can setup their own solar plant at home, I almost did so, but the price of the materials and the setup are too high for me.
I'd like you to consider if nuclear material is useful for something apart from generating energy. It may be useful for other things we don't even know right now, and in the future we may have consumed all the resources.
The manufacture of solar panels is not as safe or as environmentally friendly as you might hope, just like how buying a new Prius to replace your car is probably a net loss for the environment unless your existing one is already near the end of its useful life.
You have to look at the whole market. When you buy a new car the old one gets resold to someone else, which causes yet another even older car to be resold and so on through the market until the oldest, broken-est car actually exits the market (assuming the total market size is static, if it's growing then you need to compare the Prius against the other new cars that would enter the market) so as long as you're replacing existing usage then you're probably doing good.
Yes, that's what I'm afraid of. Building solar cells might not be as environment friendly as I'd like, but hey, we can optimize these processes later on.
Building a nuclear plant would also be very unfriendly when it comes to ecology.
I believe it us due to the installation deaths. Typically solar cells are installed on rooftops, which are non-trivially dangerous places to work. Multiply the risk by tens of thousands of installations and we get fatalities due to solar power.
You serious?
And building an hydroelectric/atomic/coal plant is not dangerous?
It's not a too dangerous place, when the people who set these up are professionals who are following a security guideline.
I see lots of people working on their roof, so, at least for me, this is a nonsense argument to discredit solar energy.
The number should fall as solar becomes something that you add when a roof is constructed, rather than retro-fitted, since that roof work is already being done.
I do.
I have my Chrome browsers in sync, categorised in folders.
I do also have "Read later" bookmarks, as I sometimes find interesting websites or news I cannot read entirely because I'm busy or whatever other reason.
- DESCRIPTION: This week I started installing Ubuntu, and the installer is just too basic.
That's ok for the common user, but I like installing in expert mode. With expert mode I mean full control of what's being and how it's being installed (eg. network settings, software packages to install, mirrors, etc). I could not even change to a tty while installing.
When installing Ubuntu along with my other Debian, and I missed the latter installer in the process.
Another aspect to polish in the installer is being able to encrypt just one partition and even include an encrypted volume manager such as Debian's.
As an issue, I managed booting in live mode and encrypting manually, but after a successful installation of the system, GRUB could not manage to boot the encrypted system. Watch out, I might not have installed it properly, but it seemed to me this feature was not implemented correctly. Anyways, I think Ubuntu is a good OS that's able to compete with others
