    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Finally. But remember that capacity is NOT the same as consumption. Just look at the years between 2015 and 2019, when capacity factors for the coal power plants were DECLINING. Having the power plants doesn't mean they have to be running at full output. Just refer back to my IEA chart...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    No. You can't do that and show an increase in the same chart for the same year. This is called cognitive dissonance. You're going into a mental pretzel trying to justify your claim that the chart is showing consumption, when it is only showing capacity (both the removal of power plants and...

    WTF is "retired coal consumption"?!?! Did you throw up the coal after consuming it?!? Edit: You can only retire capacity, and that's the whole point. Trying to equate that with consumption is sophistry.

    Read the graph carefully. It doesn't show what you're claiming. Simple analytical question, how can you have negative consumption?

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Your tweet claims coal consumption, but the source it used cites capacity. At this point, it's all just noise, because it's merely shouting that there's a problem, but doesn't do anything about solving the problem. China produced 80% of the solar panels used by the rest of the world, they had...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Here's the IEA's consumption graph over the same time period (even though 2023 was an estimate and thus below the actual consumption): Global coal consumption, 2000-2025 – Charts – Data & Statistics - IEA Notice that unlike the capacity chart, consumption did NOT double, and is only barely...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    That's clearly clickbait. The key word is "capacity", not consumption. There might be more power plants in total, but not all of them are running at full capacity. Also notice that there's no drop-off during the covid years, when we all know that consumption of everything was down due to...

    Mars and Off Planet Colonization - Pros and Cons Discussion

    The only reason is to sustain the light of consciousness in case of some sort of a catastrophic disaster on earth. But much like with many things, there are other possible solutions that are more achievable (namely space colonies in the the lagrange points due to having access to more energy).

    Are you sure about the 23.4Q drop? The SP might've opened lower, but it ultimately closed higher: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/history?period1=1673827200&period2=1675382400

    Tesla BEV Competition Developments

    I could only find info stating that Mike Abbott was leaving due to health reasons. Your source stating that "his whole team from Apple to leave with him" brings into question those "health reasons". Let's see if there are any more departures?

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    But unlike an orphaned well, there isn't any further ecological damage done by just leaving it there. And as stated before, there's scrap metal value in the system. So the landowner doesn't need to spend a dime for a 3rd party to come and retrieve the system, very different from an uncapped well.

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    There are no inverters in solar panels, only solar systems. A failure in the solar system is NOT something that requires scrapping and recycling the whole thing. This is a huge false equivalence to abandoned methane wells.

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Not to mention that the aluminium can be recycled, so there's a financial incentive for someone else to remove them.

    I have TSLY and regretted it. It's been underperforming, but I don't know if that's due to TSLA's drop or something else?
