    'Climate Change' and the coming 'Climate Lockdown'

    The thing is that you're getting it in nearly a fifth the time, so a third the lifespan and some additional amount needed is still economical. That, more than anything else, is why fast bulk plantation lumber dominates the market, because it's still good enough for architecture and construction...

    'Climate Change' and the coming 'Climate Lockdown'

    No, it's actually because most "peaker plant" usage cases actually have dramatic spikes in a matter of minutes and overproduction damages equipment. While hydrogen electrolysis facilities and hydroelectric storage are functional ways around the overproduction problem for preparatory ramp-up that...

    Nuclear plants shift slowly and surplus capacity functions poorly in general, they're for base load.

    IIRC, there's a few "rounding errors in physics" edge-cases to violate the First and Second Laws of thermodynamics for true free energy, but they require multiple stellar masses to set up.

    'Climate Change' and the coming 'Climate Lockdown'

    Unrealistically, I've been a fan of theorizing about fast-neutron subcritical backpack reactors. Literally a bomb in slow motion, lovely justification for Atompunk action sequences with random vehicles exploding.

    "Proscribe", which they used, means to forbid, "Prescribe" means to demand.
