Long distance closeup photograph of a helicopter flying through the air. The helicopter has yellow body with a thick blue accent on the tail and the engine cowling. It is carrying a large white pack between its landing skids. A very large straw is sticking downwards from the white pack. The two dark blades appear frozen in time in this short exposure photograph.

Small red helicopter

Not sure if a practice flight or a real operation, but loud! 3 helicopters circling an area.

#Energiewende in a nutshell

Outdoor scene with trees and a lake, with a hill in the distance, and the sky above containing wispy clouds. Notably the hills and trees have a green tinge, and the sky has a blue tinge.

I find this really interesting! A Black and White film ILFORD FP4+, pulled by 1 step, scanned by an old digital camera in colour. Minimal editing in Gimp, hue shifted slightly, definitely no colouring. How come the sky is blue and the hills are green??

All this flooded land and destroyed habitat of endangered species, and for what? Half a fucking Gigawatt, with <40% capacity factor?
Flooding lush lands such as those in Tassie results in Methane release due to anaerobic metabolism in the soil.

The Unlevel Costs of An Energy Metric “LCOE is useful as a starting point, but is widely abused. It is used to mislead a lot of people about the relative value and cost of different energy systems.” – Severin Borenstein, Energy Institute ...

Photovoltaics and Wind turbines are often promoted as cheaper than nuclear energy. This article looks at what we do and do not include in this cost.

Funny (sad) how many people on the bus have an ugly cough, yet no mask in sight. Glad I brought mine. #COVIDIsNotOver

When GMing, I only do my own homebrew. Small solar system where each planet has a specialisation (forest, ocean, fallen civ), abundant public transport, cats are little gods necessary for solving puzzles, and the main quest revolves around repairing cosmic kitty dinner bell to avoid a CATastrophe.

Opposition to nuclear energy is an emotional response, not a facts-first position. Constant messaging about the dangers or the unnecessity of nuclear energy can be addressed by counter arguments, but it's not very effective in overriding those deeply ingrained fears.
