Oh no. I have Google+ nightmares again. Help

Sometimes I wonder if my instance will defederate from lemmygrad, I have hope.

Burning fields in FarCry 3 jamming to skrillax.

It’s a pen name but still.

Am I missing something or people are calling engine of a car “motor”? Because there is a big difference between the two.

No, you should ignore these types of posts though.

I trust no articles from SCMP.

I think these people just want to watch the world burn, contribute nothing, consume attention, waste time… You know like those early day virsu that would just bog up CPU but would do nothing else… Some people just enjoy wasting other people’s resources.

Tiny core Linux ftw

I mean i get your argument, but super-critical plants can only serve baseload, they need 48 hours to prime and can generally not operate below 50% capacity, they do yield very high efficiency though.

But I’m not sure where this discussion is going.

Coal power can’t really be used for on-demand scenarios, as coal fired power plants have massive startup costs and also time. Compared to a gas-turbine that can do a cold boot up to maximum production in 15 minutes. Coal needs about 4-5 hours to come to full power and that is with the best expensive technology we have not necessarily technology that is in use. Also coal plants take about 2 hours to shutdown and about 20 hours to be ready to be fired again. It’s just a limitation that we can’t overcome from complications due to coal being a solid fuel.

So whatever coal China has it must be using for baseload, they must have more alternatives if their coal fired capacity is decreasing.

EDIT: adding more context, so I have been hearing this coal as peak load instrument for a while now, so I decided to dig deeper on who is claiming this and why? So there are two claims in this space out there 1st being that for larger plants that can operate at sub 20% capacity can scale between sub20% to 100% in minutes making them useful for peak load, and that is just stupid argument as whatever minimum they are running it is still baseload.

Other argument is actual redisgn of plants that allow for quick cycling, but technology is new and they can cycle even 4x in a day, but they operate at relatively less efficiency and also since they don’t ever go cold they start plants semi hot, they can’t clean the boiler with forced draft, leading to increased maintenance cost during full cleanup shutdown significantly and also they deal with thermal stress a lot more leading to increased cost of wear and tear. Seems like only CGS has been able to operate using this model and their gen capacity is only 480mW so seems like a proof of concept idea than actual possi ility of turning coal into peak load.

But at least it looks possible with some research, contrary to my previous opinion that it’s not possible at all, but seems to be still years before it can reach baseload efficiency and last thing we want to do is run coal at worse efficiency.

I wonder who’s downvoting this

What a shit biased article.

Chiba that’s a fortunate typo.

I read the article, and the biases make sense considering it’s pakistani, it’s not wrong just biased.

And harvest organs too, economic prosperity, fuck yeah!

Only if Russia didn’t fuck up chernobyl neuclear would have more support. Fukushima never did that much to hurt public confidence in nuclear.

It’s not about being cold, the workers that are working in coal are not at fault. Imagine you being a mid thirties guy in Indonesia, when you were in early twenties looking for a career in a couple try with sever lack of jobs that pay high enough to sustain a life that allows you to own a house and a car near some urban area, when world is still warming up to the idea of Global warming, you will take the coal mining job because it pays well, allows your kids to study in English medium schools. Allows you to save to send them to university. They are only trying to get what a lot of people in developed have taken it for granted. And it’s a legitimate problem on how to re-employ people from early retirement of coal plants.

In that case, Indian govt is also free to retaliate since no country is just going to keep diplomatic relations one-way.
