@drgurner@garrytan Would you view having a telephone to call someone as a technical crutch? Email? Where do you draw the line where technology can/should facilitate more engagement between people?
@pslohmann@roblabonne Price in P/E is just the price of the equity though. I had always assumed the Price in Cap Rate was the entire capital cost (enterprise value) of the real estate asset? Is it just the equity?
@RKonidena@xiaowang1984@pjminterconnect It seems important to delineate between thermal assets that can mitigate pipeline fuel delivery risk and those that can't. Kind of surprised they don't.
@JohnSmillie42 Was at the national solar thermal test facility at Sandia in aughts. Nice thing ab concentrated solar *for H2* (thermolysis) is that there aren't the transmission constraints that killed it for electricity. And all the giga projects are going to go into high DNI areas regardless
@Isolveissues I'm so glad this thread exists so I don't have to write it. You missed that whatever **city-powering-steam** energy she actually was dissipating **with a freaking hose** would have flashed into steam and melted her face
@emptywheel Fair enough, and I have not been to Alpena, specifically, just that region. One of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen was in St. Ignace. Michigan is a wildly underrated state
@Nuclearjunkie@DELicht_ful@JohnSmillie42@brendanpierpont A key difference: the control authority/reaction timing for a diesel cycle comes from injecting fuel, creating a stratified charge and a flame front (higher peak T and thermal NOx), the LGen doesn't have a flame, so the peak temp is lower but the compression ratio is still high
