It's all about the batteries and always has been. Hydrogen is ultimately the only thing that makes sense in the super-long term as a complete and total solution, providing the necessary energy density (given current knowledge), but something like lithium batteries might very well be a long-term stepping stone until then. We are pretty much already there. We just need a few megafactories to pump out those batteries on the cheap.

Everyone remember when Japan and Germany said they were done with nuclear power and gave "hard" dates for retirements?

It's easy to make declarations for things way out in the future.

The hard work of paving that road head awaits. Politicians don't like hard work. They will be absent during the process, nowhere to be found, should it ever be paved, until the very end, golden shovel and oversized scissors in hand.

Historically I was a supporter of nuclear power, but as time has gone on, I've been questioning this.

My belief in the technology hasn't changed. It's my belief in humanity that has faltered.

It's not the technology that needs improvement before it can be safely used.

I agree. I have an older Macbook Pro from 2010 and none of the Linux drivers, b43 or Broadcom's wl, can get anything better than 17Mbps to my access point. If I boot from Mac OS, I get 70Mbps. They also can't do 4-addr bridging and are missing some other features. Add to that all of the ACPI problems and it makes for a very poor Linux experience.

Location: Seattle WA USA

Remote: Can do

Willing to relocate: Portland OR is nice but I kinda like to be able to pump my own gas

Technologies: DevOps/sysadmin/net-eng. Bash, python, a little C. I'm an infrastructure guy: Networking (Cisco, Juniper, Arista), big linux sysadmin experience, DNS, SNMP/syslog-type monitoring and alerting, monitoring, mail, storage, etc-etc-etc.

Résumé/CV: Working on that! I just started looking today. I was at my last gig for eight years doing high-performance computing in genomics/oncology research. I'll come back and update later.
