Really interesting story. As someone raised in evangelical churches, I have Always wondered why modern evangelical Christians can’t see the hypocrisy of their position.

That’s why I use a B&W Lazer printer, and have dedicated prosumer Canon photo printer for the few times I need color prints.
And the former group is 1000 to one of the latter group.
They are also exposed to alternative viewpoints, different cultures and concepts,.
And you provided the evidence that home schooling is not appropriate for 99% of the families out there. How many other families have the education, background, and resources that you bring to the table? Virtually none. And it’s only made worse by the fact that there are no standards, no testing required, no checks on the child’s welfare.
How some of these parents with just high school diplomas do it is beyond me. They don’t. I’m in the same boat. Technical Bachelors, MBA. We home schooled my son with a learning disorder for a year, primarily as a response to the school districts failure to do their job. It was not a success. While I still think it was the right decision, it was incredibly hard. Which is why it only lasted one year.
In the words of Stringer Bell “Your not taking notes on a motherfucking conspiracy are you?”
Start Here I think your answer is somewhere in the IEC ELV standards.
Plus one for Ice Pirates. It gave us Space Herpes

I don't think so. The lower court made a pretty clear distinction the damages are for harms that arose from activity other than journalism.
It would be easier if there were more than 20 pixels in the picture.
Long term storage and/or reprocessing of fuel. On site storage is not a viable long term solution. We need some way to safely store expended fuel or change the rules to allow reprocessing. Commercially, we need to figure out an economical way to build power plants that doesn't die under the weight of its own regulations. Vogtle 3 & 4 went waaayy over budget, and almost bankrupted the partners (Westinghouse I believe). Solar and wind are seeing reduction in cost due to expanding market and the economy of scale that goes with it, along with generous subsidies. For nuclear to get those benefits it would have to be constructed at a rate not seen since Three Mile Island. We lost all of those benefits accrued during the 60s 70s and 80s. We would be starting at least 10 years behind wind and solar.
Right, but they don't exist commercially and are 10 years away by best estimate (I think I haven't looked lately). Also, Navy style reactors are not anything like SMR designs currently under development. They are much closer to current PWR reactors in use. I love the idea of more nuclear, hell that's what I do for a living. I just feel like SMRs are more vapor ware that's always "10 years away". I hope not, I know some really smart people who are currently working at Terrapower trying to make it a reality.
They take the waste heat from nuclear decay and convert it to electricity through the use of a peltier device. Those work off of differential temperature and are pretty inefficient to begin with. Unmderated Nuclear decay doesn't produce a lot of heat at one time, which is why reactors use a moderator to increase the power output.
Well, I work in commercial nuclear power, and I have since 2010, so…yeah, I'm super creative.
This article has a good breakdown. The biggest issue is efficiency. RTGs are around 5-9% efficient. Standard steam cycle generators are around 30% (see this article ) . You get much more usable energy from fuel used in a commercial reactor vice a RTG.
