    Because of Trump, the subsidies for wind decline to zero after this year, and solar declines significantly to $4/MWh after 2023. Here's the EIA's 2040 table, for reference. The gap between $73/MWh for advanced nuclear and $50/MWh for intermittents is still large.

    Really? New advanced nuclear build in US has a levelized cost of energy around $77/MWh for 2023 supply. Wind has $50/MWh and solar $46/MWh. The EIA, like the IEA, doesn't assume any learning curve on technologies, just stated policies, so future wind/solar may be cheaper.

    Hey, good point! I looked it up, and like 75% of blade mass is currently glass fiber, with most of the rest being resin. There are experiments with carbon fiber and mixes, which have better mechanical properties, but the price premium is prohibitive for the 25 year life.

    It then balloons out and probably zigs and zags back and forth a few times between about Rigel and Betelgeuse on the HR diagram for a million years or so. Any planets inside about 8 AU will probably be evaporated by the 3600 K star's surface at 4 AU.

    Using GGD 27-MM1 as a model, baby Betelgeuse starts as a 25 solar radius, 12000 K star, just to the left of and slightly below Rigel in the HR diagram. It condenses to a hotter, brighter O9 V star (near beta Centauri) for ~8 million years, gently growing at the end.

    A) Estimates are around 10x as many people are affected as we have confirmed now, basically everywhere. B) Using the SARS epidemiology as a pattern, we may see a few waves, with exponential growth in cases, then linear growth, then reaching an asymptote.

    The ones in red supergiants like Betelgeuse are far bigger. I read once that they think it has 10-14 or so, each one 500 times larger than the sun, which itself is 100x as big as Earth, which is 12x as wide as Texas!

    This one has an earlier time stamp.

    And by "bunch", you mean "most". The spread between the Florida partisan poll (Trump beats Biden by 5, Sanders not even polled) and the Florida nonpartisan poll (Trump loses to Biden by 3, loses to Sanders by 6) is stark. Let them be overconfident. That can only be to the good.

    Holy cow! After reading up to page 5 in this, I am now *very interested* in industry concentration and concentration of ownership. Check out the factor share of profits from 1980s to today!

    Oh, thank the Gods! Well done, team Archivist! Well done!

    You can see that land doesn't vote when you draw the map by population instead of by land area. This third map makes it far clearer: cities votes split, rural areas massively red.

    Here is the same map, but with the votes by area indicated on the map. Notice the bigger pies are closers, with some very nearly dead splits?

    So here is Oklahoma, by county, shaded by voting result by county. Notice the pink cells? Again, land doesn't vote...
