They’re probably using green to mean “not CO2 producing” given the context of the discussion being about CO2 emissions
I understand the argument and yes CO2 emissions are indeed lower. However, only marketing/sales/lobbyists/politicians would use that to sell it as green energy. It’s not green, it’s not environment friendly, it’s not renewable.
Actually one could argue that it is extremely environment friendly, seeing as Chernobyl has become a wildlife sanctuary.
nuclear should not be used to generate hydrogen - if at all it should be used the same as hydrogen would be used: to bridge gaps when not enough renewable energy is available
Nuclear power can definitely not fill this role of a fast switching on and off tool, it works most efficient as a steady long term output. Technically it can stop sending electricity to the grid, but that wastes all the heat that keeps being generated and is immensely inefficient. Heat storage in liquid salt seems to be an upcoming thing for nuclear power, but is not used there yet.
“here” is nice and good, but “here” is not global. This is not about a local incident. It’s easy to have “too much green energy” in one place, just build a single wind turbine and don’t connect it to a grid. But using that excess power to produce an inefficient expensive fuel in one part of the world doesn’t solve the global energy- and emmission- problem. It’s cheaper and more efficient to transport energy all over the world and shut down local fossil fuel power plants than to produce hydrogen, ship that all over the world and burn that.
This statistic includes nuclear and bioenergy. I’m unsure about bioenergy, but nuclear certainly can not qualify as green. Unless you mean green glowing stuff, like nuclear waste is often depicted.
Also 100years are a very long time
Yes and humanity is sometimes very very very slow to change for the better.
Before using hydrogen to replace fossil fuels, you need to ensure that no fossil fuels are burned to generate electricity. Otherwise you would increase carbon emissions, not reduce them. I don’t see the whole worlds energy consumption going purely green within the next 100 years.
I understand the argument, but afaik the laws that made poeple create cookie banners do not really care whether it’s a cookie or some other identification. Consent has to be granted for any sort of tracking.
However, as far as I understand, at least in some parts of the world, this is only true for 3rd party tracking solutions. So long as people can’t be identified and everything stays with your own host, consent would legally be unnecessary anyway.
Oh I have definitely played this game before! It’s a game with multiple factions and each faction collects different resources. There’s something like five resources and each faction needs 3 or so of them. Iirc these salamanders were sort of monk/magic/nature-ish or something along those lines. I think there were also humans (perhaps space marine style?) and some other species as factions.
edit:
Please no image search …
I found the name. Is describing everything I remember about the game to an AI allowed, or does that loosely fall into something like a “no image search” rule?
That doesn’t negate the fact that he already introduced tariffs on aluminum in 2018.
Trump administration imposed tariffs on EU steel in March 2025
I don’t know how old your linked article is, as it’s behind a paywall, but according to different sources aluminum US tariffs on aluminum were already implemented or increased in June 2018.
Did China also impose tariffs on EU steel in the meantime? Or, why should chinese companies copy the american companies?
The EU Packaging Waste Regulation laws which demand higher recycling rates were enacted in 2025. So considering the 2018s tariffs, US companies had reasons to import aluminum scrap for 7 more years. The increases in available scrap and on tariffs in 2025 surely strengthened this though.
That’s all very interesting, so if the your linked article is older, does that mean Chinese companies are copying US ones on this? Or maybe it’s not as simple as that. Either way, to me it sounds like the Indian-owned US subsidiary Novelis has created facilities in Europe and did not account for aluminum scrap getting bought up by other companies.
The TL;DR is misleading. The EU has not “started to recycle aluminum”. It had already done so for a long long time. I feel like the TL;DR also singles out China, seeing as it fails to mention that US companies are also increasingly importing scrap.
I was expecting the third panel to consist of pulling out cards, dice or game boards and the likes.
Minesweeper is notorious for having some luck to it.
There’s guess-free versions that guarantee solvable games. There’s also ones that automatically place a mine on the clicked tile if you take an unnecessary guess. Personally I really like https://davidnhill.github.io/JSMinesweeper with only “Fast mode” (and optionally “No guess”) enabled and everything else off.
Does it make sense to blur names when they’re still relatively easy to decipher, when the project can be found on github and the top committer links to their Twitter account? 🤔
Personally I use a browser extension called LibRedirect.
How about an alternative Link to the same video? https://inv.vern.cc/watch?v=qcfuA_UAz3I
And sites are still more than happy to show those in the popup, just to muddy the waters and make it more complicated than it needs to be.
As far as I see it, displaying information regarding strictly necessary cookies that do not require consent is good practice.
The website linked above states that “While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.”
I think the complicated part is mostly the deliberately bad UI that is often used for cookie banners. They purposefully use a bad layout and color scheme in an attempt to push the user to just click “Accept all”. As far as I understand if a websites only had strictly necessary cookies then I think they wouldn’t even need a cookie popup in the first place though and could simply list this information on a separate “Privacy Policy” page or such.
Probably worth noting: Only things like non essential third party cookies need consent. Essential cookies for things like the users active session that are not shared don’t need a cookie banner.

So you live even further up north? Isn’t it uncomfortable to wake up in the darkness? Or are you saying that hasn’t been a problem to you before and you can deal with it just fine?
That’s a good valid point for it. For such extreme edge use cases this would make sense.
I’m pretty sure transporting energy over a long distance power transmission over extreme distances like between eg Portugal or South Africa and eg China or the far tip of Russia is more energy and cost efficient than transporting hydrogen. So hydrogen only wins when the target location actually needs hydrogen, not when they need electricity. But I argue that the majority of power demand would be of electric nature.
