$1.9m/MW is dirt cheap for nuclear, about one fifth the cost of a new site and about the same as the capital cost for wind+storage. This is due to recomissioning being cheaper.
I am seeing rumbles about already seeking additional funding from the state, so we’ll see if this project gets hit with the cost overruns that plague new construction.
I am using an old HP Pavillion 15 to make a tablet. I have all of the internal components, and am making a shell. Does anyone know what the easiest way to make a case for those parts would be?
The absolute easiest way would be to 3D print the whole thing, leaving slots for steel rods to reinforce the frame.
The cooler way would be to just 3D print the rim and make the back and front plates out of laser-cut aluminum. There are laser-cutting services if you don’t have one of your own.
If you don’t have access to a 3D printer, you might consider brass. Unlike aluminum, brass can be folded or hammered into shape, so the front and sides of the tablet could be made from one folded and soldered/brazed sheet, with ports and vents cut with hand tools. I wouldn’t call this easier though – you’ll need some practice to keep it from looking sloppy.
There are three forms of protest. Some are meant to evangelize. Some are meant to enact direct consequences. And some are meant to demonstrate the commitment of supporters.
The history books love to spotlight evangelism, but an effective protest movement needs all three. One is the carrot (MLK), one is the stick (Malcolm X), and one is an ultimatum – an implicit show of force displaying how many people will wield that stick if the audience doesn’t pay attention to the carrot (March on Washington).
While I question the effectiveness of making a traffic jam for people heading to Burning Man, the next time you see a climate protest, I want to encourage you to ask yourself what kind of protest it is, and who is its intended audience.

if this happens, i believe this would be the first nuclear plant to be recommissioned in the US after previously shutting down
