Wait, I thought he left the military because he couldn’t bring himself to kill? Or is that just mistaken?

I think he has killed, but to be fair, the phrasing around his military service is usually kinda vague about it. Like, "fought terrorism while in the military" could reasonably be interpreted as "has killed people" but also has room for "had the opportunity to kill but couldn't". This feels like it's because Capcom realised that "has killed people" might be a bad look for their new Street Fighter poster boy. Do not ask why they decided to make him a PMC contractor if that's the case. I don't know. Hey did you know that an older concept sheet of Luke literally calls him a mercenary?

Anyway.

Strongest argument for "has killed" is SFV Luke's winquote against Juri:

I'm over the whole "fight to the death" thing. Had enough of that in my last job.

Additionally, the way the Japanese version of this quote is phrased implies more strongly that he has killed.

Strongest argument for "has not killed" is this quote from the Udon SF6 comics #0:

But killing people... I didn't have it in me, and I decided to leave the military in the end.

This is kinda tangential but he then says that his father would "kick [him] in the rear for throwing in the towel" if he was still alive, which is a painful reminder that Luke's perception of his father is forever stuck at 11-year-old Luke's memories of him.

The issue is that both of these quotes have enough room for the other interpretation to also be applicable.

Anyway Street Fighter is mad inconsistent with lore (SF6 shows a pic of PMC Luke while he's talking about being conflicted over being in the military hhhhhh I will never stop complaining about this) so like, I wouldn't really worry about it. Though this vagueness does muddle his characterisation a little bit because the implications of "killed, found it repulsive, refused to continue" and "finds killing repulsive, refuses to kill" are completely different.

Personally I think that the son of a military doctor attempting to follow in his father's footsteps but not realising the doctor part until after he's joined the military and has ended up killing people is a horrifically ironic narrative, and since I like horrifying irony I choose to believe that he's killed. Also, given that he had no compunctions about joining the military in the first place, I find it hard to believe he initially had misgivings about what they do. And he hasn't even ended up at "killing is a bad thing to do", he's at "personally didn't like to kill, this is a personal thing though, dad would be disappointed in me aha, the military was totally fine, great even, really enjoyed my time there fighting terrorism"

Have I ever mentioned that I hate Luke Sullivan?

GIS plays a crucial role in integrating solar, wind, and hydroelectric power into the grid. Its ability to handle fluctuating power flows makes it a valuable asset for renewable energy projects, ensuring stability and efficiency.

Industrial Power Distribution

Heavy industries and manufacturing plants require robust power distribution systems to support their high energy demands. GIS provides the reliability and safety needed in such environments, reducing the risk of power interruptions that could disrupt operations.

Challenges and Future Innovations in GIS

Addressing SF6 Gas Concerns

One of the primary environmental concerns with gas insulated switchgear is the use of SF6 gas, which is a potent greenhouse gas. However, the industry is actively exploring alternatives, such as fluoronitrile-based gases, to replace SF6. Recycling and advanced handling techniques are also being implemented to minimize emissions and ensure responsible usage.

Cost and Scalability

While GIS offers long-term savings through reduced maintenance and energy efficiency, its initial installation costs can be high. Despite this, the scalability of GIS systems makes them a worthwhile investment for utilities and industries looking to future-proof their infrastructure.

Technological Advancements

Innovations in GIS technology are paving the way for smarter power grids.
