who are these adult humans who can’t face choices? I don’t really understand how or why they even chose their PC in the first place.

It sounds like such people will be a lot better off with android or mac, or windows or chromebook. If they want to do games get a console.

It’s sort of like if a person has no enthusiasm for or interest in cars, they might be better off with a rental.

Though basing on 2007 study is a time before the IED kicked in and a lot of LCPD plants were running limited hours instead of scrubbers - modern coal has to be cleaner by the directive - unfortunately the article is paywalled so hard to tell what their sample was based on time-wise and tech-wise.

Hydro estimate is interesting because it shows the impact of the one off major catastrophic event.

it has got cheaper, but it has to get cheap enough that you can buy enough batteries with the difference. I’m not sure it has become that cheap. Maybe these sodium battery things will get developed.
