Who would have thought it ? Well, anyone who

• understands the basics of nuclear/medical/health physics

• is minimally intellectually honest

• have studied at least one of the dose/dose rate data published in the following official reports
• @WHO (2012) wpro.who.int/publications/d…
• @WHO (2013) who.int/ionizing_radia…
• UNSCEAR (2013) : unscear.org/unscear/en/pub…

The Italy's #COVID19 testing page by @OurWorldInData has been updated (thank you @JoeHasell)
ourworldindata.org/covid-testing#…

@RValperga and I have updated our @github page with new propositions w/ subjective confidence levels (low, medium, high) and references. pitmonticone.github.io/covid-italy/ow…
I've called @MinisteroSalute: they explicitly told us that "tamponi" refers to "total performed tests including those that are pending result."

@OurWorldInData @JoeHasell @RValperga @MatteoParadisi @Furno_Francesco @beriapaolo @DellAnnaLuca @fdelprato @emmevilla
But, since we cannot assume homogeneity I'm gonna call both @MinisteroSalute and @DPCgov of the following regions for confirmation

• North: Piemonte, Lombardia, Veneto
• Center: Toscana, Emilia Romagna, Lazio
• South: Campania, Calabria, Puglia

Stay tuned...

The Social Costs of Electricity Generation: Categorising Different Types of Costs and Evaluating Their Respective Relevance

Source: mdpi.com/1996-1073/10/3…
Social costs

1. Private costs: those types of opportunity costs that are accrued by the market player who produces the good

2. External costs: the costs arising from human activity that are not accounted for by the market player causing the externality.
Private costs

1.1 Plant-level costs: capital, fuel , non-fuel O&M, carbon costs (LCOE)

1.2 System costs: costs of integrating an individual power plant into an existing electricity system

Potentials, Costs and Environmental Assessment of Switzerland Power Generation Technologies

• 2017 psi.ch/sites/default/…
• 2019 Update psi.ch/sites/default/…

1. Performance indicators are provided for today, 2020, 2035 and 2050.
2. No system-level assessment.
Evaluated technologies :
• Large hydro (LHP)
• Small hydro (SHP)
• Wind (onshore & offshore)
• Solar photovoltaics (PV)
• Biomass
• Deep geothermal
• Wave and tidal
• Solar thermal (CSP)
• Nuclear
• Natural gas & coal
• Fuel cells
• Novel technologies
TECHNICAL POTENTIALS

Here are shown

1. the power generation mix in Switzerland in 2015

2. estimated “exploitable potentials“ for additional el. generation (w.r.t. 2015) with different fuels and technologies in Switzerland and for el. imports from generation abroad in 2050. 1.2.

1. "Global warming, air pollution & energy insecurity, the cause of conflicts all over the world, are 3 of the biggest challenges we face"

Yes, they are very important sustainability indicators:
• threadreaderapp.com/thread/1153804…
• threadreaderapp.com/thread/1159119…
• threadreaderapp.com/thread/1173355…
2. "Renewables are THE solution."

This might be a very powerful moral principle, ideological premise or even a sacred dogma, but I honestly find very hard to argue that it's a techno-scientifically informed conclusion of a logically consistent ethical argument.
3. "How can we quickly convert the energy supply of houses, cities and entire countries to 100% clean sources such as wind, water and sun?"

Let's be clear. First of all: by "X is renewable" I usually mean "X has no fuel costs".
