> The link is just about a move from one part of Munich to another (MS German HQ has always been in Munich).

Nope. They moved from Unterschleißheim (administrative district of Munich in Upper Bavaria) to Schwabing (district of Munich town), which tax-paying wise makes the difference.

And actually it depends on the locale you work in whether SEPT is a valid month abbreviation or not.

SEPT-2 is changed to date (that is how all major spreadsheet software works if an input is accepted as date), SEPT2 is kept as text as entered.

> if they had a "scientific mode" to not be smart with your data

That "scientific mode" is called text. Assign the column type Text during CSV import and nothing is converted to numeric or date.

LibreOffice Calc: "SEPT-2" is a date, "SEPT2" is not.

So we need 4400 persons falling off a roof to be par with nuclear power plants. I still consider this ratio a much better outcome than a power plant going off anywhere near (radius to be defined in Mm depending on wind direction).

With the difference that one person dropping dead from a roof hurts one family, a nuclear plant going off spoils a huge area for generations.

Whether solar and wind power are major energy sources depends on where in what region you live.

They did not include any numbers on wind, solar, hydro, tide, ... renewable energy; limiting the comparison to "the dominant" energy sources what they call "all major energy sources" shows how narrow the researchers' plate is.

World hydro power generation has already a greater percentage than nuclear fission, not in the U.S. though.. Add other renewable resources and all renewable surpass gas. Oil plays almost no role in energy generation. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation#Methods...
