Not anymore — there is no way they'd have gone along with this if it was a Democrat swapping out officials to his every whim

Winning through delegitimizing the other side to keep soldiers from being willing to fight is the only practical way to win under these conditions

No. What they are doing is gerrymandering districts and making it harder for people to vote

No.

Yeah, people who eat a poisonous Amanita take a few days to die of liver failure and their accounts pretty uniformly describe the deadly ones as tasty.

Thats sounding a lot more like what I remembered

Got sources for an AMOC shutdown happening in the past few thousand years?

They're mostly not set up as a backup system, but to time-shift wind and solar so that it isnt necessary to use more expensive fossil fuel generation. For example, here is what utility-scale battery use looked like on Dec 5 in California

Not really; there are real reasons people don't want large-scale storage near populated areas, and it's more expensive than avoiding the need for long-duration storage, and burning it (if you don't store the oxygen, which raises costs even more) produces lung-damage nitrogen oxides. So there's a lot of reasons to minimize the need for hydrogen as much as possible.

Depends a lot on where. Places with a lot of both wind and solar need a lot less than those with only one, or with big seasonal heating needs. Way more to say about this than can fit in a comment

You do need some amount of long-duration storage, with the amount depending on how generation diversity and how much clean firm generation you have, but we are still in the early stages of it.

People are going with batteries and demand-shifting first because they're more cost-effective when it comes to dealing with a few hours of storage. Hydrogen storage is mostly a contender for longer-durarion storage
