Environmentalist view nuclear as worse than coal. That is why nuclear isnt developed.

Fukashima fucked up the whole world. Japan still has only started back up a few of its nuclear reactors. And no one wants a nuclear power plant built near them, since, though rare, we get to see the results of a failure, on land, for decades, unlike when an oil company destroys a big chunk of a body of water.
Plus, I believe, due to the cost of starting up a new plant, even before any subsidies, solar and wind power are cheaper per megawatt than nuclear. But also no body wants wind mills or solar farms in their neighborhoods.

I have high hopes for small "micro reactors" that could be used to power communities instead of entire regions at a time. Burying them deep underground and requiring little to no maintenance would be a game changer.
More on topic, does anyone actually expect these laws to help power consumption? Any projections?

After talking to my boss who found a LG CX on sale for 1100 at MicroCenter, I stumbled upon an update to my own post: Sony makes a 43" TV that works fairly well as a 2021 4K Monitor. 2 2.1 HDMIs, 4 HDMIs overall, 120Hz refresh, VA panel, bright enough to do passable HDR and supposedly AMD Freesync and VRR coming in an firmware update per Sony, and currently $750 at the store of your choice Amazon/Best Buy/Etc. It doesn't do local/direct dimming and I don't know if its worth the compromise over a OLED or Mini LED but at just under half the price, if you want something smaller than 49/50 inches, this may be your best bet.

A major bonus to having a thriving nuclear industry is how it enables other things, space exploration for example. Without nuclear power we would know very little about the outer solar system. All but 1 mission to Jupiter or beyond has been powered by RTGs. And the only reason we sent 1 without is because we simply lacked the Plutonium to build an RTG for that probe.

There was talk about each house having its own fuel cell back like 10 yrs ago. That would have been great. Imagine if even 1/8 the houses in us had their own fuel cells and the energy they overproduced went back to the grid. too bad the entire fuel cell thing never caught on in any shape and form.

Energy back to the grid is a comical joke thought up by commie idiots who don't understand how things actually work.
No energy company is going to be buying your power from you in any meaningful amount beyond short term meme value.

Well Exxon refinery sells their excess power back to the power company. But of course they have it in bulk and it comes from fossil fuels so umm no lol.

Even so imagine a self sustaining power source to power your entire families existence, including EVs all powered by hydrogen. Who cares if you sell it or not. Thats not my point.

Home Fuel cells and fuel cell technology has been a big buzz now for the last couple years with lots
For the same capital investment, the ClearEdge5 gives you 90 MWh of annual combined electricity and heat, compared to approximately 8MWh generated by a 5kW solar system. (So about $15-$20K) Operating costs for the CE5 are as low as 6.0¢ per kWh based on $1.20 per therm for natural gas, assuming full electrical and heat utilization.

It literally does not matter. Basically every real gaming system and production workstation is expressly exempt from this regulation. The only reason that Alienware can't be sold is on Dell, not on the state of California.

Only 6 months after that global disaster, people in Hawaii had suffered nearly a whole bannana of radiation.
It was just an excuse.

There are monitors that go that high, and are stupid for anyone but the .00001% of people that are in ultra super pro gaming, and maybe not even then. Lol

Sir do not discuss OLED then VA - what shame you have brought to this community.

I said there were no 43" 4K monitors with modern tech. Then I found one, for half-ish . I in no way compared VA to OLED, in fact I said this:
Does like read like a comparison? Is it the order, that bothers you, then? Like many things in life, sir, it's a trade off.
let me know when 6800XTs are getting close to a grand and if I can pay in part with a PS5.
