One of my Dell's would randomly decide that the mini DP connection has no signal, and rebooting the MacBook Pro was the only way to restore it. HDMI would work just fine.
Pollock is supposed not to have been aware of this. However, during the Cold War the eastern bloc used art and culture as propaganda all the time. Many artists in the west were their sympathisers.
I'm 'lucky' to live near a couple of offshore wind turbine 'fields'. From the shore these are barely visible many days of the winter, and when they are they cause me no concern or upset seeing them on the horizon. I actually find them pretty pleasing to see.
They are also building a heap of new energy transmission infrastructure here, which for now is bringing a fair few new jobs to the area - and going forwards there will continue be jobs in ongoing maintenance.
Coupled with the cheaper energy they provide, it all feels like wins for me - I hope we see much more generation planned, and I agree - if this means we need less (or none) nuclear power in the future, that feels like another win.
There's reasonable arguments for not building new nuclear (expensive, slow), but not for closing existing nuclear unless you have some specific reasons to believe it's unsafe! That is, specific to that plant in question.
Would have been more inspirational if they kept nuclear and didn't sabotage the French initiatives. I'm in germany and paying close to 40ct a kwh, that's 2+ times what you'd pay in nuclear first countries like france or slovakia. And no matter how fast germany switches to renewable, it'll never make up for the past 50 years of fuck ups in term of CO2 emissions
