that’s not quite right and mixes couple things

you have production losses and transmission losses. then you have waste heat used for household and industrial heating.

now you would also have to produce that portion electrically.

For instance in winter heating requirements of a typical house are 2x that of the electricity used.

they aren’t being driven out of existence by wind and solar that’s just wrong.

They are being driven out by prolitics and fear of the unknown.

Waste is problem which has been blown out of proportion in the media.

Nuclear is more expensive than wind comparable to solar. Major point in it’s favor is base load reliability. Look at capacity factors of the major base load providers. Solar is barely 26%/ Wind 24%/30% on-/off shore and Nuclear is 3x of that and highly predictable (as it’s downtime is planned maintainsnce).

Pure wind solar would have to be 300% average load(heating excluded!!!) with nearly 15day storage to have a blackout probability on under 1%.

I am genuinely all for Wind and Solar. Although my comments on this post might lead one to think otherwise.(independence of power for countries is a big + for Wind Solar which is a - for Nuclear)

But I am for fastest road to green electricity… more like just do everything to get rid of CO2 intense production methods.

go freelance. you don’t have to. since your consider yourself smarter than your boss try starting a business.

it’s a trade off between income fluctuation and stability.

since you didn’t address any of my points but chose to just respond with random statements, I take it you were convinced but too ingrained with your original statement to admit. It’s fine happens to many of us.

glad to have helped you thinking critically.

Yeah bur for the non tech oriented user it’s still difficult . Most devices bought come with OEM install.

Even for a regular user it’s going to sound like There is a virus that reads and remembers everything on your computer but you can turn it off and trust us it would be off.

how are you connecting cancelling of WFH to middle managers ?

Also in your ideal company you don’t have team leads department heads but peasants talk to CEOs directly ?

who told you they are regretting ?

Look at energy maps. France has one of the greenest energy mixes around and sells energy to Germany(and others) which cannot produce sufficient power for itself in Winter.

Also Germany at many instances end up playing the neighbours to buy their electricity Or selling it lower then 0.01€/kWh on days of overproduction.

electricity is’t the majority of the energy consumed in nearly any country.

it’s a easy way to keep confusing less vigilant people by calling electricity as energy.

Just call things the way they are.
