  • This used to be true, and there was enormous investment in nuclear power.

    But the truth is that renewables have come a LONG way these past few decades. In many places, renewables is the cheapest energy to invest in, cheaper than even Fossil fuels in many cases. And much much cheaper than nuclear.

    Why build a nuclear plant when you can build diversified renewable energy sources for the same price or less?

    As a very small added bonus, renewables can’t be turned into bombs. Yet.







  • The reason the m4 is a smaller cartridge is that its predecessor had serious over penetration issues. Ideally the bullet will stop inside of the victim.

    The XM7 will have seriously worse performance due to over penetration and other ballistics, not to mention heavy and limited ammo. Maybe it will fare better against armor, which would be good in a hypothetical matchup with a comparable enemy, but that is unlikely to occur any time soon.
