  • That’s kind of funny. Nuclear energy is actually getting more expensive:

    A few reasons come to mind:

    • The newer the technology, the higher the cost.
    • Each reactor and its power plant is a huge project. This makes scaling up production difficult. And please don’t start with tiny reactors. We’re not in Fallout.
    • Safety standards have risen.

    There are probably more reasons. I would of course not compare it to coal but to renewables. They’re the future. Storage will be needed but those options are also getting cheaper by the day.





  • Thanks professor. Do you know private debt and state debt are hardly the same? Have you considered the opportunity cost of not having public energy, therefore losing potential “earnings” to private investors? Or are you telling me next that rich people are a necessity as well? Is trickle-down part of this course or do I have to wait for 201?






  • It obviously sucks and the outcome was to be expected but what alternative would you propose?

    Continued British control would have meant maintaining territory acquired through the Opium Wars which China considered illegitimate. Given China’s position and growing power that likely would have required serious military confrontation. From a post-colonial perspective extending colonial rule also seems hard to justify. What alternative outcome do you think was realistically achievable under those conditions?

    Gabe: Column A is the only column with exactly 3 criminals.

    Peter: There are 5 innocents neighboring Tom.

    Given this combination we know that Bruce is innocent because either Sofia or Wanda have to be a criminal and because there cannot be exactly 3 criminals in column B: Bruce is innocent.

    I copied my answer. I don’t know what you mean by glitch. The puzzle works with the given information.
