If you are level 10 Strength, for instance, that means you have access to at least the first level in ALL TEN perks under Strength. You have to look not just across, but up and down. I’ve seen players start maxing out specific SPECIAL attribute letters early, or even trying to max out ALL of them, because they don’t understand how the system works. Though I really like the functionality of the skill tree, knowing how to use it can be tough. The Answer: Again, this is poorly explained in the game, and has the potential to derail your entire playthrough if you’re not careful. They managed to negotiate continued membership even after brexit, but Rees-Mogg is a hardcore Eurosceptic (read: idiot) and is desperate for the UK to have some successes now it's on its own.The Question: “Okay I’ve started maxing out the letters, when do I get perks?” I see they don't mention Euratom at all, the European agency that they worked with on the previous experimental reactor. Only 5 years after ITER is supposed to reach "burning plasma", and ITER is a proof of concept. Since it's clean energy they can both divert money needed for renewables, and claim it's proof of their green credentials. Anything that is highly profitable for donors to the Tory Party, and nothing is more profitable than a free £200 million for some R&D that will conclude it's going to take many more decades and many more tens of billions in funding. The minister promoting it, Jacob Rees-Mogg, is known for this kind of rubbish. The current government, and the potential replacement in 2024, are both very pro-nuclear. Lithium isn't really scarce, but don't ever declare anything surrounded by molten alkali metals as safe. Or special molten lithium spheres of the right isotope surrounding the fusion capsule. Right now ITER has laid claim to a large percentage of the world's available supply of tritium. Oh yeah, there is the tritium problem as well - we won't have nearly limitless energy until we have a similar almost limitless amount of tritium. The idea that it will be radiation free - or nearly so - is an outright lie, unless the results of neutron bombardment is majickly eliminated. Next comes increasing that Qtot to a level that is much greater than the total amount of power needed to sustain that reaction, cover the total generating costs, and having a hella lot of power left over to distribute. Just achieving a Qtot of 1 is the very beginning. Qtot includes cooling and cost of generating the power to ignite the fusion process. Note: Qtot is the total power out compared to the total power used to achieve that amount of power. So far the Qtot is embarrassingly small, while they preen and strut about Qp The amount of power it takes to achieve the roughly 75% power out of what is put in is a parlor trick that completely ignores the parasitic power requirements. And it surely isn't even close to prototype stage. It isn't limitless, it isn't nearly limitless. "The plant will be the first of its kind, built by 2040 and capable of putting energy on the grid, and in doing so will prove the commercial viability of fusion energy to the world."Īnyone who says that nuclear fusion provided power is limitless or nearly limitless is either parroting a narrative or dissembling. "Over the decades we have established ourselves as pioneers in fusion science and as a country our capabilities to surmount these obstacles is unparalleled, and I am delighted to make an announcement of a vital step in that mission," he said. Developing such an exciting new project continues this tradition and has the potential to transform both the region and the UK's long-term energy supply." Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg announced the government's choice in a speech at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. "The area has been associated with energy generation for over 60 years. Matt Sykes, managing director of EDF's Generation business, said: "We are absolutely delighted that the UKAEA has selected the West Burton site in Nottinghamshire to host the UK's first fusion reactor. The Local Democracy Reporting Service said the project would replace the coal-fired power station site - owned by French energy giant EDF - which is set to be closed this year. The government had pledged more than 220 million pounds for the STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) program, led by the UKAEA. The plant should be operational by the early 2040s, a UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) spokesman has said. The government had shortlisted five sites but has picked the West Burton A plant in Nottinghamshire. Fusion is a potential source of almost limitless clean energy but is currently only carried out in experiments. An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: A power station has been chosen to be the site of the UK's, and potentially the world's, first prototype commercial nuclear fusion reactor.
