Our weather is very typical, not bad today so far, but we may get showers later.  72°F at the moment.

My wife says she's surprised how much rain we get, and it's a lot really, but often it rains hard for 30 minutes and then clears out.

Breakthrough Swiss tech cuts 80% of radioactive waste in nuclear plants

Radioactivity of nuclear waste could be reduced from thousands of years to less than 500 years.

Snapped this as I was walking back from getting a hair cut.  Up to 78°F now.

Without a lot of storage, or a lot of backup power, wind and solar have serious issues. Obviously.

NG "peaker plants" are often used today to meet excessive power demands, but they are expensive because they don't run all the time.  One can fire up a jet turbine to produce electricity quickly, they are akin to the engines on a jet aircraft.

But without storage, places dependent on W&S can at times generate too much power which can make prices for electricity go negative.
