Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Regarding the subject of plastic waste recycling, TU Dresden has presented an interesting machine that works in a simplified way like this: throw plastic waste in at the front and oil comes out at the back.
The whole thing is the size of a small shipping container and will soon be available in series so that all plastic waste can be recycled.

Only this example came to my mind ad hoc. You can do the same with other stuff that you once thought was great and later realized you should have left it alone,

We are talking about construction costs.

This has nothing to do with nuclear energy. The major manufacturers of all sorts of things, including building materials, have lobbied themselves out of the electricity prices for ordinary people. From a cost perspective, it does not matter where their subsidized electricity comes from.
Green energy is not expensive because it is costly to produce (it is cheap there!), but because it is scarce. And because, as an end consumer, you have to bear the subsidy for the big players.

Why people are considering nuclear energy is not logical upon reflection. First, nuclear waste as “already there costs” is nonsense. Every additional ton costs extra in final storage. Transport and processing. Only the started storage site is “already there,” nothing else.
Second, nuclear energy is expensive. You don’t notice because it is the most subsidized form of energy. The final storage issue is kept away from electricity prices by the operators. Liability insurance as well. The true price of a kWh of nuclear power, which includes all this, would not be economically competitive at all. Only shifting a problem into a future beyond the price horizon makes the price acceptable. New, safe technology for operation helps little here.

Who pays for the final storage research in the two German research centers? Who will pay for the application of the results?
Selling this form of subsidy as “sunken costs” shows chutzpah.

Meanwhile, construction costs do not depend only on energy, but also on the scarcity of skilled workers, rising land prices, and buyers who, unlike before, often start with an inheritance on the equity side and can thus pay the prices. Market economy, supposedly something good and fair?

And the way people today want to move into a 180 sqm house fully equipped compared to how our grandparents got land and a house: people are largely to blame for that themselves. Period!

On the topic of plastic waste recycling, TU Dresden has presented an interesting machine that basically works like this: throw plastic waste in at the front and oil comes out at the back. The whole thing is the size of a small shipping container and will soon be available in series, so that all plastic waste can be recycled.

There are also studies showing that mealworms eat plastic and then produce fertilizer usable for agriculture. It’s good that there are some smart people in this world who seek and find solutions. I am optimistic, especially since I also hope that houses made with 3D printing can reduce construction costs.

When all nuclear power plants in Germany were still in operation, they covered slightly more than 30% of the annual electricity demand. As a reliable, CO2-free, weather-independent base load.

Rarely have I read such complete nonsense. No nuclear power technology has ever been CO2-free. In the case of uranium, for example, the necessary earth movements alone (well, they don't happen here in Germany) cause significant CO2 emissions. How is it that no nuclear power technology is insurable? A technology so complex that humans cannot control it must not contribute to endangering the general public (Moreover, the profits usually go to only a few).

On the topic of plastic waste recycling, TU Dresden has presented an interesting machine that works basically like this: throw plastic waste in at the front and oil comes out at the back.
The whole thing is the size of a small shipping container and will soon be available in series so that all plastic waste can be recycled.

The only problem is "catching" the microplastic particles that are scattered worldwide in such quantities and "throwing" them into this container at the front. Estimated effort: unmanageable. Estimated time required: thousands of years (we are all waiting for the miracle technology that can do this in a short time...).

Oh dear, can we please move back from [AKWen] and mealworms with nuclear fusion to our construction prices?

With us, the financier can actually only speculate about the interest rate. He completely relies on the ECB and despite thirty-five years of professional experience, he cannot make a forecast…
What a crazy market is this
