    chickpea

    • Regular

    • Deluxe

    • Budget Brand

    • Whole Foods Select

    • Fiji Brand Chickpea (not from Fiji and technically not a chickpea but does somehow both ruthlessly exploit foreign laborers and generate ten times its weight in carbon emissions; promises to cure cancer)

    • A single novelty supersized chickpea that sits in a display case and never actually gets sold but kids love to look at.


  • In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently.

    The first new nuclear plants since Three Mile Island just came online in Georgia last year. Vogtle 3 and 4 will produce a combined 1.2 GWe at peak capacity.

    These reactors took 16 years and multiple bailouts and bankruptcies to complete, costing an estimated $34B to finish.

    Hopefully, future power construction will move a little smoother.

    As a comparison, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant took ten years to complete at the cost of around $7.5B and it has a peak generation of 3.3 GWe
