Another is the complexity of the language when it comes to low-level programming. E.g. bytemuck I've mentioned before solves a problem that is hard to even explain to a C developer.
I think a big difference is that the less unsafe you want in your own code, the more you rely on crates to provide a safe abstraction for unsafe code in a centralized place where soundness holes are likely to be found.
Of course it was always understood that you could have bugs in C libraries and some of them may include memory unsafety, but the culture is very different when there's no explicit way to demarcate the parts of the code most deserving of scrutiny.
When we already talk about Fraunhofer, they with a few other institutes, have been sketching out various pathways over the years for Germany for transitioning to a renewable energy system multiple times, see https://langfristszenarien.de/enertile-explorer-wAssets/docs...
While Germany has some hydro, it's just a tiny amount
The ones you linked too do use gas firming... And the goal there too is to sometimes replace it with hydrogen if ever possible which is more a pipedream than doing a messmer plan over entire EU today
Are you pretending batteries don't exist? And long distance interconnects? And not even talking about hydro, geothermal, wave, and who knows what else.
grid scale batteries longer than 4 hours don't exist. You can't design a reliable electrical grid based on vibes. You have to design it on what cost effective technologies actually exist where you need them.
The only other grid scale tech I'm aware of is pumped hydro which is very effective BUT severely limited to areas with existing good topography where you have two large enough basins separated by substantial height.
well, there are batteries of all kinds, there is green gas, and many other systems which can in one way or another support the grid - each with their respective advantages and disadvantages, such as capacity, controllability, cost, space requirements, topography requirements, ...
ALL BES currently installed have 4 hour capacity or less. It is far too expensive to have multiple day grid scale BES. I'm so tired of having to repeat this basic fact. WTF is green gas?
While your statement is true, it leaves out relevant details:
There is a certain threshold for radiation exposure where if exceeded the animal isn't deemed safe for consumption anymore. The vast majority of these cases are from boars in certain areas of Germany nowadays and affect less than 1% of all killed boars [1] [2].
doesn't appear indifferent or hostile
