When the Blade Breaks

A charter boat fisherman was among the first to discover the wreckage — a “mess,” he called it, deep off the coast of Massachusetts. From behind a veil of pea soup-thick fog emerged hundreds of white and green fiberglass and Styrofoam pieces, some as small as a fingernail, some as large as a truck hood. By the following morning, the tide had carried the debris about 12 nautical miles and scattered it across Nantucket Island’s beaches. Residents woke to a shoreline covered in trash, fiberglass sh

Let's examine a problem that we could math our way out of, but assume we don't know how. We'll lean on our programming to teach us what we don't know. The Monty Hall problem comes from an old game show called Let's Make a Deal, hosted by Monty Hall. In the show, Monty would show three closed doors to a contestant and explain that one holds a car while the other two hold goats. The contestant then chose a door. After this first pick, Monty would reveal one unchosen door that was hiding a goat. T

US attack on renewables will lead to power crunch that spikes electricity prices

news.ycombinator.com Spencer Kimball 2025-11-04 22:22:36

Witthaya Prasongsin | Moment | Getty Images President Donald Trump's attack on solar and wind projects threatens to raise energy prices for consumers and undermine a stretched electric grid that's already straining to meet rapidly growing demand, renewable energy executives warn. Trump has long said wind power turbines are unattractive and endanger birds, and that solar installations take up too much land. This week, he said his administration will not approve solar and wind projects, the lates

Why wind farms attract so much misinformation and conspiracy theory

When Donald Trump recently claimed, during what was supposed to be a press conference about a European Union trade deal, that wind turbines were a "con job" that drive whales "loco," kill birds and even people, he wasn’t just repeating old myths. He was tapping into a global pattern of conspiracy theories around renewable energy—particularly wind farms. (Trump calls them “windmills”—a climate denier trope.)
