News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]
It has everything to do with frequency, energy transport and distance, and therefore, it has everything to do with energy consumption.
Not necessarily, no. (Are you an Electrician, or did you just Google something?) Because if you are, I'm willing to explain this in great detail to you, but I'm afraid it won't make much sense to you or anyone else here if you aren't.
It's just that it's never been done before but theoretically there are many options. (Ever thought about different types of conductors? Different circumstances? Distance? Cooling?) We all know that it's warmth which increases resistance, - ofcourse it also depends on what type of conductor - and that the warmth is caused by a higher frequency. (Hint!)
The actual size would depend on the pressure you intend to design it for.
Who said anything about land? Ever seen the Delta Works in Holland?
10 Giga Watt? Okay. (I'm just going to assume I have a lot of money here!) I would create a huge U-shaped artificial canal/pipe near the coast line, which would go through the dunes at one point, and exit through the dunes at the other point. (We're living 9 meter below sea level remember?) I would build 10 turbines in this canal/pipe, whatever! The pressure will be enormous, and these turbines will rotate much faster than the larger ones they're currently planting near the coast lines. You'll have your 10 Giga Watt (Probably 20!) within 4-5 years.
Voltage has nothing to do with energy consumption.
It has everything to do with frequency, energy transport and distance, and therefore, it has everything to do with energy consumption.
Lower voltage would mean higher amps,
Not necessarily, no. (Are you an Electrician, or did you just Google something?) Because if you are, I'm willing to explain this in great detail to you, but I'm afraid it won't make much sense to you or anyone else here if you aren't.
If you know how to make ICs use less juice, please let me know. I'll split the money with you.

The problem with hydro is that if you build small, the cost is extremely high.

Plus you need a huge swath of land to destroy in order to build a reservoir.

Because of certain lobbyists, politicians and certain people *cough* who keep going on about nuclear power as if it's the only option we have.
True, but this is ofcourse a back up, and if you combine the use of multiple alternatives, you probably won't need to store energy at all. (Just trying to make a point to the people who were talking about power outages!)
True, but have you looked at these funds? These funds are nowhere near sufficient to clean up the mess. Have you looked at the so-called insurances for nuclear power plants? No insurance company wants to insure these guys! Same story, they have an insurance policy, backed by the government and business ofcourse, but again these funds are nowhere near sufficient to cover in case of a worst-case scenario. (I guess they're keeping their fingers crossed nothing will happen?)
I'm aware of that, and to me that's good news!
What's dangerous about adjusting electronic equipment, so that it can work on a lower Voltage? We could adjust most of our electronic equipment so that this would use up less Amps and Watts aswell. We could even install two seperate powergrids in a house. (One for low power.) Oh, and you could also choose to put solar panels in parellel, instead of in serial, which will provide a higher voltage. (I'm sure Electricians will understand my Dutch?)
Europeans could build dams too if they really wanted it. The Itaipu dam for example, took 11 years to complete. If we would build smaller ones, and with today's construction methods, we might be looking at 5 or 6 years? Ambitious, I know, but the results don't lie. One dam could easily compete with 8 to 10 reactors. 8 to 10 reactors will cost billions, and a dam will cost billions aswell, but a dam will be cleaner, safer, reliable, produces no waste, will not damage the environment, needs no delving, or the transport of materials and resources and will have a lifespan of atleast a few hundred years if built well. So yeah, I'm all for water, because it's without question, the most powerful solution.
Who's afraid of water?
Sure, why aren't they being built like mad?
Because of certain lobbyists, politicians and certain people *cough* who keep going on about nuclear power as if it's the only option we have.
Beautiful, 100% in, 70% out, on a good day. Plus of course the increased cost per kwh to the home.
True, but this is ofcourse a back up, and if you combine the use of multiple alternatives, you probably won't need to store energy at all. (Just trying to make a point to the people who were talking about power outages!)
Wow, don't know where to start with that. In Europe, all nuclear plants have a cleanup fund that has to be funded before construction can begin.
True, but have you looked at these funds? These funds are nowhere near sufficient to clean up the mess. Have you looked at the so-called insurances for nuclear power plants? No insurance company wants to insure these guys! Same story, they have an insurance policy, backed by the government and business ofcourse, but again these funds are nowhere near sufficient to cover in case of a worst-case scenario. (I guess they're keeping their fingers crossed nothing will happen?)
It's factored in to the pricing. The coal market is fairly volatile, and it's getting much more expensive year on year to burn coal.
I'm aware of that, and to me that's good news!
Not following you here. Wouldn't that be a bit dangerous?

Nuclear isn't the long term end all answer. But we need energy right now, and gas and coal are quickly becoming unacceptable.

But you know what? Let's forget about this whole discussion about needing more energy for a second. Let's all pretend we're Arien for a second, and let's all pretend we've been paying some attention to our surroundings, because I'm going to say something clever. (Yes, I'm serious.)
We can lower our daily energy consumption by making simple adjustments to electronics and electrical devices.
For example, I'm sitting behind my computer. My computer doesn't really need 230 V to work properly. It needs 12 V to be exact. I've just made coffee, and my coffee machine doesn't really need 230 V either! (I'm willing to bet it needs 12 V aswell!) Lightbulbs? Televisions? They don't need 230 V either! (Yup, 12 V will suffice!)
For your information, most lightbulbs work perfectly on 12 V, but the power grid in our houses still provide us with 230 V. (How the heck are we trying to be efficient here?!)
If we were to lower the Voltages, we would need less crazy ways to run all of our households. And Cardno, take it from an Electrician, we could all run a household on 20 solar panels if we really wanted to. (Easily!) I'm just going to be so bold and brave to say that we could probably lower our daily energy consumption by 30% (Maybe even 40 to 50% with alternatives!) if we made a few simple adjustments to electronics and electrical devices, so that they'll actually work on 12 V without converting, instead of on 230 V, which is obviously a waste of energy.
I don't mind if you disagree with me, but atleast give me some arguments and facts, instead of going on like nuclear energy is our saviour all of a sudden. It really isn't! It's just another money making scheme for a select few.
A few things to keep in mind; The average nuclear power plant will cost you 3.2 Billion Dollars to build. (75% of what it will actually contribute. With gas and coal this is 25%.) Keep in mind that it's subsidized, because in reality, nuclear energy is 15% more expensive than coal. (According to the IEA!) Nobody is picking up the bills when it comes to actually storing all that radio-active waste. Nobody is picking up the bills when it comes to undoing the environmental damage while they're delving for raw materials. (And also leaving radio-active material exposed to the elements.) Oh, and keep in mind that we don't really need all of this because there are plenty of realistic alternatives.
1 reactor can produce way more power then a number of huge dams.. this isn't even comparable..
Kendal Power Station, the world's largest coal-fired power plant: 4.116 Giga Watt.

No? Have you seen the E-126 produced by Enercon? 7 Mega Watt. If you build 143 of these windmills you'll have 1 Giga Watt. Build 2288 of these windmills and you'll have 16 Giga Watt. I don't think I have to tell you that's 16 times as much as the average nuclear reactor? You'll need to build 16 nuclear reactors (And factories.) to match that. Oh, and base power? Ever heard about energy storage?
Oh, and about solar power, solar power has the potential to provide over 1000 times the total energy consumption. (Worldwide.) Everyone is always talking about PV cells, but you should really look into CSP for a change, which basically means Concentrated Solar Power, which generates thermal energy. (Same principle as with coal, only 100% clean.)
Alright, I gave you an argument. Now where's yours?
Is it? What are you going to do with all that nuclear waste? (It can stay radioactive for over 3000 years you know!) How are you going to deny that alternative sources, if you combine them, together have much and much more potential than nuclear energy will ever have? (Without waste, without risks!) Because you can talk for as long as you want, nuclear energy is not without risks. (Its effectivity isn't all that either if you look at what the whole process will cost you.)
Another thing which didn't get a mention here: Tidal energy. (Which will completely dwarf any of the above alternatives!)
That should give you an idea about the principle?
1 turbine. 1 Giga Watt/hour. Okay?
I still haven't heard any arguments that made sense.
Wind and solar can't provide base power.

Less expensive than all the nuclear reactors, factories and personel you're going to need to achieve the same results. (Energy wise.)
You'll need to repeat the whole splitting process again, which means you're going to create even more nuclear waste than you did before. (Ever thought about that?) There are four billion kilos of natural Uranium which we could delve if we wanted to. (Unless technological miracles happen, the rest would be impossible to reach!) There are two types of variants. Only U 235 would be suitable material. With our current energy usage, this means that we're talking about sixty to eighty years of supply. (But ofcourse we're going to use more energy as the population is still growing.)
No? I think I've already answered your question, because it's going to cost you much more to build nuclear reactors and factories to achieve the same results. (And it's going to cost you even more to actually delve, transport, reprocess or even create Uranium.) How often does a nuclear reactor needs maintenance? (Every month?) What is the lifespan of a nuclear reactor? (70 years?) Thorium? How much of this material do you think you'll need? That's even worse than Uranium if we're going to talk about effectivity!
Windmills, water-turbines or solar panels. Take your pick. (Actually, take them all at the same time!) No waste, no transport, a less work-intensive process, a hundred percent effectiveness, no risks. More jobs, an endless supply of energy resources and more money in your pockets.
Give me a real argument please.
Yea, hydro is awesome, but also very expensive.
Less expensive than all the nuclear reactors, factories and personel you're going to need to achieve the same results. (Energy wise.)

How much Uranium can be found worldwide? Barely enough for sixty to eighty years of energy production.
Even when they know where they can delve Uranium, it's still going to be impossible to actually reach some of these deposits. It takes eight years to build a fully functional, and fully productive nuclear reactor, and will cost a lot of money. In those wasted eight years, and for the same amount of money, you could've built many more water-turbines, solar panels and windmills, which all have an 100% effectiveness, without needing any other additional resources than the materials needed to produce them.
How much time, effort and energy does it cost to enrich Uranium? Much and much more than a water-turbine, a solar panel or a windmill, because these have an infinite supply of free energy, which makes them 100% effective.
Is coal sexy? No, it's not sexy. People who are afraid to lose their jobs shouldn't have to worry about that, if the government together with business people co-operate to make a smooth transition happen. People should simply be offered an education, so they can simply switch jobs from mine workers to electricians, engineers or become a part of the technical maintenance teams you will need to keep everything working. More jobs, more production, more money, and an infinite amount of cheap and clean energy for an infinite amount of time aswell.

Women don't scare men. Women can put men off though. (I think it's better to use the word disappoint though!) Women can break or make a gentleman, just like men can make or break a lady. Men are men, and women are women, regardless of nationality. We all make mistakes. We all read things. We all think. We all form opinions based on the input we recieve. To a certain extent, we create our own reality, because once we are convinced something really is as it has been presented to us, there's a fat chance that we will change our opinions, behaviour or expectations, and unfortunately, not always for the best. (Meaning this will affect other people around you because of your behaviour.) Some people also behave like sheep, and follow all the latest trends because they don't want to be different, do they? Well, here's a newsflash for you: We're all different from eachother. We always will be.
You've got sensitive guys, insensitive guys, macho guys, soft guys, old guys, young guys, gentlemen, bad boys, open-minded guys, old-fashioned guys, religious guys, non-religious guys, handsome guys, less handsome guys, strong guys, weak guys, brave guys, insecure guys, sweet guys, hard guys, wise guys, immature guys, boring guys, exciting guys, materialistic guys, spiritual guys, simple guys, complicated guys, oversexed guys, cold guys, warm guys, funny guys, smart guys, dumb guys, serious guys, rich guys, poor guys, clumsy guys, handy guys, manly guys, girly guys, loyal guys, unloyal guys, hard-working guys, lazy guys, decent guys, classy guys, rough guys, cheap guys, experienced guys, inexperienced guys, cheating guys, lying guys, honest guys, family guys, adventurous guys, caring guys, careless guys, humble guys, arrogant guys, succesful guys, less succesful guys, you name it!
And guess what? The exact same goes for women. So don't tell anyone to man up, or whatever! Allow someone to be someone in his or her own unique way. The only real men are the men who know they should be themselves. We can't please everyone, and we shouldn't want to please everyone either. Same goes for all the women out there. There is no such thing as ''the'' real man, and there is no such thing as ''the'' real lady either. If you don't want guys to make generalizations about girls, then why make generalizations about guys in this thread?
Dare to be honest, and you'll see that most people will be honest with you aswell. Some people might disapprove of such honesty, but you'll find out that the few people who don't will be the people who will really understand you. So don't be ashamed of yourself, or constantly compare yourself to others. Ever. You'll find him eventually, and he'll find you. He won't find you if you pretend to be someone you're not, just like you won't find him if he pretends to be someone he's not.
I can assure you a lot of people pretend. Both men and women think they should be something society expects of them. Too much pressure if you ask me. I think it's a shame, because I can see how many people aren't genuinely smiling anymore, and I'm sure you can see it too. You don't have to be perfect, and you don't have to be a saint. Just be yourself girls. Okay? (It's okay, you can barf, puke and throw up now!)

Life / Polish Hip Hop [47]
Hasn't it occured to you that you might be in the wrong thread? I'm sure this one isn't about Disco Polo. (Gee, I wonder why I would think that? Let's see..) Oh, and you sure do have a funny name for someone who pretends to listen to Disco Polo.
Rap isn't traditional music. It's a word. Hip Hop isn't traditional music either. The first Hip Hop was created out of Pop and Disco Tunes. Oh, and if you're going to be racist, or narrow-minded, then why aren't you complaining about Rock Music, or Heavy Metal? I think Jimmy Hendrix invented that music..
;)

playing traditional polish folk music dressed in traditional polish garb, dancing around lakes that look like Mazury and mountains that look like Tatry?

Off-Topic / If I don't understand Polish and I post a Polish song on a profile, is it wrong? [10]
Ofcourse not! Remember all those Spanish and Latin songs in Top of the Pops? Juanes? Ricky Martin? Hey, you're not the only one who enjoys foreign music, and it really doesn't matter if you understand all the words or not. If you really like a song, then you really like a song, and that's all that should matter?
F*ck 'em, (Excuse my Dutch!) and enjoy the music!
;)

I know the quality is pretty bad on Youtube sometimes, but in my opinion this is one of the dopest tracks they've ever made. I know it's a simple cut, but I can listen to this type of Hip Hop all damn day..

Hey Posco, who told you I was talking to you? Anyway, you can blame everything on the girls, but I'm just going to say - wether you like it or not - that if you have had this experience with a lot of women, then you're clearly doing something wrong, or you simply don't turn her on..
It's funny, because the ones I've met were pretty wild.

You know what your mistake is? Be open, be honest, discuss your sexlife with your girl, come on! I mean, if you're already doing it with eachother, there's nothing to be shy about anyway?
We all have to learn, ladies too!

You know, sometimes it doesn't hurt to show that you're sorry about a few things you've said or done. (I'm not telling anyone to beg for anything though!)

Food / Does beer have any "real" expire date? [39]
I have a beer in my hand, and the label on the back reads: 18-10-10. I've bought them yesterday, so you can do the math?

You can also say: I could never compare anything I've seen before to those twinkles in your eyes, because they make everything look so ordinary..

Language / Nice Polish words to say to a girl [147]
Czy umówisz się ze mną? (Would you like to go out with me?) Bardzo chętnie umówię się z tobą. (I'd very much like to go out with you.) Może innym razem? (Maybe another time?) Podoba mi się twój śliczny uśmiech. (I like your lovely smile.) Bardzo cię lubię. (I like you very much.) Jesteś piękna. (You're beautiful.) Myślę, że jesteś wyjątkową dziewczyną. (I think you're special.)
:)

Love / Polish men are complete doormats (especially after they get married) [125]
Hell yeah! I don't care anymore though, all of the neighbourhood can watch me do my future girlfriend if they want to, although I think it's really pathetic and sad to watch another couple do what you should be doing..
:)
If people would put as much effort into their own lives, rather than poking their noses into what goes on in the bedrooms of other people, we would all do a lot better in life.

*thinks of sexy ladies dancing in the forest*
:)
The both Easter and Bahar are based on the spring, and fertility goddess, in pagan religions, which we can also see in Shamanism.
