Some critics argue that the prestige of the Prize in Economic Sciences derives in part from its association with the Nobel Prizes, an association that has often been a source of controversy. Among them is the Swedish human rights lawyer Peter Nobel, a great-grandnephew of Alfred Nobel.[40]

Nobel accuses the awarding institution of misusing his family’s name, and states that no member of the Nobel family has ever had the intention of establishing a prize in economics.[41] He explained that “Nobel despised people who cared more about profits than society’s well-being”, saying that “There is nothing to indicate that he would have wanted such a prize”, and that the association with the Nobel prizes is “a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation”.[40]

No idea what you mean and not gonna read the ipcc report now.

Ok, bask in your american exceptionalism if you please.

Those data centers would soon be somewhere else due to… economics. And even if not, wouldn’t be significant.

Maybe if you start heating your homes by burning car tires in your gardens. But otherwise, no. You are already so far behind the curve that economics really don’t allow CO2 emission increases on a global significant level.

The world is not just the USA…

They don’t even say that. They say emissions will peak which is en par with other institutions.

Wer mit gendern die AFD wählt, wählt auch ohne gendern die AFD…

I don’t agree with you but either way that doesn’t change the fact that nuclear is just slow, expensive and a bad idea in 2024.

There are just better/faster options…

If this is ever deemed feasible the world will already run on renewables. There might have been a time for NPPs but 2024 ain’t it.

Yeah, but they are…

Love EVs, hate Musk… not sure how to feel :-/

Put as much money into the research of SMRs as you would like to waste. Meanwhile we just build a cheaper, better and more reliable system based on renewables.

This will happen with or without the nukebro hypetrain.

Unfortunately capacity is the first step, but its a step. I’ll crack open a beer when it’s consumption or production…

I am pretty sure the EU will soon reach the final phase of the electricity transition. Soon it will be more about balancing the grid with storage and upgrading the electricity network and no longer about build out rates of solar and Wind.

What a giant waste of resources.

“Enlightened” centrism is not the answer…

Its really easy to find this sources but I really dont know what you want to know. Maybe about being expensive? Slow?. There is literally tons of material out there… The other guy took the one thing that could maybe be argued about, CO2 emissions.
