Yeah, the ice is thinner, and very likely weaker for a given thickness, so the old rules of thumb about 10cm of ice being enough may not hold.
Yeah, adding the CCS makes the whole thing as expensive as nuclear.
They don’t much care what we think, so it’s likely not about anything other than short-term concern that being pro-poison might affect the election.
It’s probably ordinary cyanoacrylate “super” glue which sets in about 30 seconds. You can unstick somebody using a chemical solvent.
The whole modern commercial web is like that. Pretty much unusable without uBlock origin or the likes.
Yep. Needs to have both clearly cheaper up-front costs and longer-term costs paid by the property owner.
It appears possible to scroll the window where you don’t have accept/cookie settings buttons fully visible.
Against the government is a pretty tough lift in terms of how US law works. Against specific bad actors, there are a lot of lawsuits already.
You’ve got at least a billion dollars less than the people he cares about being liked by.
They have darker skin than Vance, so he sees them as inherently criminal, irrespective of whether they’ve actually committed a crime.
It means that the economic benefits of being the world’s low-cost producer go to people in China instead of the US.
It’s fairly expensive to generate electricity by burning stuff, even biomass. A decent wind, solar, and storage rollout will displace most of it quite cheaply.
The corn ethanol thing is likely to continue in the US as long as we’re still burning gasoline in cars.
Yep. Going to need to end that too.
Yes, we’ve wanted too long for zero impact.
We haven’t waited too long to still end up with a habitable planet. Failing to act now puts that at risk.
Hardly; it’s largely a matter of how quickly we phase out fossil fuels. Wait longer, and you get to scrap equipment before the ends of its normal useful life instead of getting full use out of what you pay for.
The sooner we act, the less drastic the measures needed are. That’s the reality of it, and something I’ll keep on pushing for.
The fossil fuels industry funds a big chunk of their patronage machine. So no surprises.
I’m not saying that either. But we are at the point where it takes people showing neighbors the changes that everybody needs to make.
They’re mostly not blasting it directly; they’re selling fossil fuels for others to blast. Changing how you commute or heat your home helps change social norms around those and lowers the rate of emissions
Yeah, the ad dollars all went to Facebook and Instagram, since they’re better-able to deliver the kind of targeting that advertisers want, so most local news stopped being financially viable.
