If you go into the detailed explanation (and can read French) they do have some hydraulic pumping included in their “batteries” section.
In their 100% renewables scénario on a peak consumption (105gw) hour and peak energy production (sun at zenith) they would store the excess production like such:
Also even in their most nuclear scenario (50% nuclear, 50% renewables) they still include 7.2gw of water pumping.
I’m curious of why you put so much value in water pumping? As a Quebecois I have a small notion of how disruptive (flooding of vast areas of land, massive amounts of concrete, dead rivers downstream of the dam ) water reservoirs for hydroelectricity can be and I have a hard time imagining a viable way of relying extensively on that technique.
It’s pay walled but how would China enforce that ruling? Ban all of Intel’s transactions with Chinese entity? Fines?
They article mention it’s more about discouraging teens from starting smoking than making current smokers quit.
It kind of make sense since you start smoking by receiving a single cigarette not by buying a pack. I know at my high school a lot of smokers started smoking by buying individual smoke from the smoke pusher
