Interesting as old nuclear plants are always said to be expensive to operate due to maintenance and old technology issues. Microsoft must really be in a bind to go for an expensive and uncertain supply.

Looks like the GOP is in trouble if people decide to vote. No wonder that they are big on voter suppression.
And when Bill Shorten proposed to change the tax system to slow down speculative capital gains that are driving house prices, the people voted for Robodebt Scotty Morrison.
In Australia, we have followed the British housing tradition and have really bad insulation too! We are working on fixing it but there is so much to retrofit.
Sadly that was not the advice that they got.
On the other hand, using a heat pump for replacing a hot water heater is definitely a good thing. Using a heat pump on an old water radiator system may not work well. Friends had to replace a gas heater for their water radiator system and were told that there wasn’t a heat pump unit hot enough for the retrofit.
However as a common carrier they should be bound by rules like other providers of public infrastructure. To say that if people don’t like it they can leave trivialises the situation. People are being subjected to private propaganda and private censorship on a platform that masquerades as a bastion of free speech. Doesn’t matter if it’s Twitter or Facebook or Instagram , they are purveyors of other people’s ideas. If they manipulate or distort or censor then they should be sorted out.
I’m starting to think that social media sites of a certain size are more like common carriers (in the telecommunications sense) than news or discussion sites. As such they should be bound to deliver clear moderation and ensure that everyone able to be connected and communicate with in the clear rules. Ie. screw the algorithm and weird owner interference.
It seems that he actually said the words and from what he has said that he doesn’t like a reasonable work/life balance. He probably thinks that he’s a great employer however the millennial workforce may disagree.
I don’t think he is joking. As an out of touch billionaire who thinks that he is a modern feudal lord, he sounds on message.
Amazing nothing has changed but rich are richer and the poor are poorer.
I was thinking of the economics as opposed to the safety aspects. Seems an expensive option.
