As predicted. The EU policies on solar will drive the same excess in every country. Germany is also going for hydrogen with a large hydrogen network already built and excess electricity would be a great source of power for green hydrogen production (which is vehemently inefficient, but if it’s free…)
To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...
I know what you mean. The oldest building i pass every day is from dates from 1250, but compared to the parts of Europe rich in architecture that’s not really very old…
No, we need to be able to keep two thoughts in our heads at the same time or we are bound to repeat the mistakes. Terror and oppression is terrible regardless of what the purpetrator and the victim are called.
I’m sorry for your pain. How long have you been contemplating ending it all?
As for the matter at hand: there are two issues here, neither should be ignored. Having said that, it is a bit jarring to hear that it is alright if one sex dies as long as the other doesn’t have to suffer. Say that to a domestic abuse survivor.
And for the matter you brought up: Being the SO of someone chronically sick is a whole other bucket of issues. Chronic disease hits far wider than the single individual, but the one being sick is not in a position to see that. “What are you whining for, I’m the one being sick” is to easy a retort, thereby stating that support should only go one way in the relationship…
Aye. And while it may come off as hyperbole or satire, taps are really only used for the extremely high demand situations where supply simply can’t keep up.
After testing AI for a bit, it mostly seems to be peak bullshitting, where everything’s sourced by Trust-me-bro even if said otherwise. Rank and file workers would never get away with that.
Five years ago I was astonished that the U.S. navy was looking for renewable fuels thinking it would never pan out. Today I see alternatives which has nothing to do with fossils in the private sector. I see heavy transportation companies trying to find ways to electrify their fleet. I think those “grownups” will find themselves in a new reality despite them not wanting to.
And unfeasible? Three years ago maybe. Today we need to revise the time plans. I’m already working at implementing the goals set for 2030 and have started shifting focus towards the big elephant and the 2045 goals.
And better yet, if the excess heat can be used. Last Friday i heard a sales rep from a (green) hydrogen company describe their solution as a heating solution that produce hydrogen at an energy storage conference. Seems fair to me😊
Exactly! That confrontation line isn’t age, gender or background. Always the haves Vs the have nots. But it is convenient when those with legitimate demands are tricked to fight windmills
From an ecological viewpoint such zoning reforms have merits, but in the way we have done it so far, I question the social merits of such policies. The society must be about more than stacking people on top of eachother.
From time to time we’ve seen very one-sided policies pushed (often with economical focus) and several years down the line we realise the issues of such policies. We can’t afford that at this point, we need to find policies that adress the full trifecta of areas to find our way forward sustainably.
“Allows them freedom”? From my viewpoint, that is straight up newspeak. Which is also a point to be made, our respective frames of reference is so diverse I’m hard pressed to think we would ever use the same language to describe any form of housing. Only in America is walkability a problem in low density areas. Presuming your definition of “low density” isnt rural, of course. And if we are rural, I have a hard time seeing how that can be defined as a sedentary lifestyle. Going for a walk is not usually a problem in those settings, either.
I’m struggling to get a grasp on the numbers she’s citing for efficiency, almost to the point that I began questioning if there was an agenda here.
And she is doing the same thing most influencers are around this tech, being one-dimensional. Take hydrogen, the optimum scale is neither national energy storage, nor single person vehicles. But if you look at more of a city block level, where the excess heat can be used for hot water instead of fossils/electricity, efficiency ramps up!
And it would be so much better if that something was something others actually find interesting. Instead its something esoteric like energy storage solutions, or the difference between b550 and x570. I was once asked, “what’s the difference between m-ATX and mini-ITX?” And I knew way to much about it to be socially healthy…
