Not that I'm defending windows or disagreeing, but there is a difference - windows run almost every PC hardware and still supports decades old legacy apps

Germany npps roughly started operating from 1970-85, in Slovenia we have one NPP that began in 1983, still works perfectly fine and we are extending its life at least until 2043 if not beyond. So, tell me again about maximum design lifespan...
France is still having Russia of all places process a large part of the needed uranium 🙄 And the nuclear power plants are causing huge debts for the operators.
What's the price tag on avoiding global warming? Also uranium can be found and processed elsewhere and it sucks that they use Russia (both imports and processing). But I guess this is just typical EU hypocrisy when it comes to Ukraine war.
Yeah, an average consumer looks at price first I guess 🤷
Slovene here - we had interference in parliamentary elections from Israeli firm Black Cube hired from local far right party. Seems like a trend these days.
I'd say tethering shouldn't be a problem - just look at fiber optics drones in Ukraine.
Global minus US?
So, let's just put another cable to the grid and everything is solved then?
Nuclear could prevent that, but Germany closed even their functional NPPs, let alone planned new ones when it should. How come France emissions are incredibly low and state is self sufficient, even exports a lot...
AFAIK a cheaper subscription, but it shows ads
I think you need more than one day of energy's worth, plus there is a problem with short and cloudy winter days where you'd struggle to generate enough energy let alone store it. I'd be really curious if there are some actual studies that observe past years and calculate all this.
Yep, Nuclear is all you listed above. But OTOH they are reliable and predicatable 24/7.
If the two options are a new nuclear reactor or investment in renewables, than the latter option is faster, more reliable and cheaper.
You sure? Nuclear is reliable, renewables aren't because they depend on weather.
The gaps in renewables could easily be solved with more water reservoirs and battery stations as power storage.
"Easily". Besides corruption, the sheer amount of energy storage required is enormous, there are nowhere enough batteries available nor pumped storage hydropower. Perhaps in the future where sodium and other batteries appear in mass production, but not today.
Edit: also you can't look at average consumption but at peak daily consumption which might be quite higher during winter than summer.

Yep, exactly. It certainly affects it to some extent, but it's not the main cause.
