It's a good thing they're turning their nuclear plants back on.

Apparently that is a risky business in Germany.

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Exactly why they want to kick them off. It will make the plans even less viable.

This is Vance’s second trip to Maine to campaign for Susan Collins. And yet, both times Collins was “unable to attend” his events. I wonder why Susan Collins won’t get on a stage with Trump or Vance in Maine?

He was impeached for being corrupt. His own office of lawyers resigned en masse because they thought he was a criminal. He was under federal indictment until Trump dropped the case. Did he think he could run for Senate and just…. Not have to talk about that stuff?

David, what are you doing? Can you point to the "power outage" on this graph of nuclear generation?

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

And would you still want that salted onto crop land? :)

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Is it OK to discuss reality, though? Particles of solar panels being salted onto farm land? Stuff like that? Or should we just close our eyes?

"The writer has to live in three perspectives, three competing, subjective agendas, all at the same time." World models. Yan LeCun, former AI scientist at Meta, has argued that a lack of world models is why LLMs aren't solving the problem you're describing. He started up a company to try.

Not equivalent at all. Storage doesn't generate electricity.

I'll make it easy. Here's the whole comment chain. bsky.app/profile/greg...

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

You're. Just link to the comment where you claim I said the installation doesn't exist. It's easy. If what you say is my "original claim" actually exists. Just go back in the comment chain, find it, and link it. Easy.

200

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I'm not denying what you claim I deny. That's your strawman. Please link to any comment where I claim the installation does not exist.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

"Then you admit it exists." Accuse use of strawman argument then use it. Excellent propaganda. Then accuse conspiratorial thinking. Where did you learn these techniques? :)

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Sure, the installation exists. (That's your strawman argument. Good try.) You just unquestioningly trust the capabilities claimed are accurate.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

So you just trust anything an article says. I guess if it's on the internet it's totally true, right? :)

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

It's not a strawman to point out your lack of verified claims.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

The "with basically no access to fossil fuels" is unverified. But I guess you completely trust the claims of any military or corporate source, so you're fine with it. :)

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

So "overwhelming" that you can only point to a small installation with no data to back up its claims.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

What counter evidence do you think is necessary? When you claim a solution will work its up to you to prove your claim, not me.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Most people operate on faith and not facts, yeah.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

They claim a demonstration. Do they provide generation data so they can be accountable to their claims?

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

So there's a zero emissions grid somewhere that runs on wind/solar/storage/hydrogen which demonstrates this 24x7x365? You know, a real demonstration you can point to?

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

That's a statement of faith, not fact.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Ah, so the ideology of renewables don't match the economics? I thought they were supposed to be cheaper than everything. :)

110

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

So why isn’t that their goal?

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

So microgrids can’t accomplish this, but national scale grids are supposed to accomplish this?

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Yeah, I’m all for disrupting fossil fuels.

000

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Cool, is there any data to verify that the diesel generator is never used for backup?

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

No, we should not be burning oil or natural gas.

000

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Ah. Is there a grid anywhere that runs on this? wind/solar/storage/hydrogen running 24x7x365?

200

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Also, when generation sources make too much electricity when it's not needed that leads to negative prices. That means generators must pay customers to get rid of the electricity. It's not sustainable.

100

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Oh, so the waste from wind and solar is also expanding exponentially?

200

Greg Barton @gregorybarton.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

So you want to give Putin the ability to decide how countries generate electricity? Good to know.
