  • There arn’t really a lot of fossile fuel plants that are decomissioned before the end of their lifespan, so this is more of an hypothetical solution for maybe sometimes in the future, all the while we continue burning fossile fuels. So basically it is an distraction from doing what is needed now.

    And once a fossile fuel plant reaches the end of its lifespan the only usable things that are still there and can be reused is the electricity network connection. So those sites are good locations for cheap grid level battery storage (and maybe novel geothermal), but not small nuclear reactors that still need turbines and cooling towers etc.


  • Does it show any error in the browser console on the lemmy.world side? Maybe there is some problem with CORS or the image proxy we use, or the AI scraper block… hard to say many possible ways that can go wrong…

    And IMHO other Lemmy instances should not hot load images like lemmy.world does. That was never a good idea and that Lemmy still allows configuring it like that is only there for legacy reasons.




  • Nice to hear that they started operations now.

    I found this bit interesting:

    The Geretsried project will ultimately provide, in annual terms, 8.2 megawatts of electricity to the grid or about 64 megawatts of heating to the nearby town.

    Emphasis mine… so I would guess they focus on electricity production during the summer months?

    Such a close loop system has a bit of a low-grade waste heat problem during summer months though, even when using it to produce electricity. I guess we will see more heated public outdoor swimming pools again if this technology takes off.

    Ok I tried to allow-list some search engine spiders in the robot.txt, however they will probably still just run into the AI scraper block if they act too shady.

    But honestly, I highly doubt we will get much traffic from Google search. It’s completely gone to shit these days.
