Okay but are you legitimately made uncomfortable by the people around you at lowes or are you just trying to invert what I said because you don't like it? I'm in these stores all the time due to my profession, and my experience is that there's a big difference in which people frequent which store, and the attitudes they bring with them.
Have you ever been in a home depot? The atmosphere is full of unresolved emotions, general frustration, and hatred disguised as jokes at your "friend's" expense. Of course it's the dad's home improvement store. And it fucking sucks
Well, my grandmother who has only ever made me feel uncomfortable and I haven't talked to in 2 years was diagnosed with cancer and my family is likely going to expect me to interact with her or even them about their grief, but I do not grieve this person and cannot comfort them in their grief
Now that I've found a neat community here in beehaw, I plan to share and David Roberts work extensively because the stuff he puts out is what gives me hope
What so 20% of carbon in the production ends up as some kind of slag? That's a pretty slow way to sequester. For at scale sequestration, I would rather see more permanent and efficient systems.
I mean, I'm all for capturing the methane given off by farms and landfills anyway and using that to generate what it can, but I don't think that's a wise choice to base large segments of the economy on. It could account for maybe a few megawatts of the 200-400 giga watts we need.
I don't think it works like that. When you lose energy in an inefficiency, it's neither deleted from existence nor stored in an inefficiency box, it's released as heat or chemicals back into the atmosphere. When your internal combustion engine only gets 40% of the energy from combustion turned into moving your vehicle forward, the only thing that means is that you need 2.5x more fuel and emissions than a perfectly efficient system would
Well, the process as described in the link above does infinitely recycle batteries. But I'm not seeing where bio fuels are net negative, they're net neutral at best
Gotta disagree on that. If you make a lithium battery, it lasts 10-15 years, and the recharge process is pretty simple. You plug it in at night, a wind turbine fills it up with ease.
Bio fuels are pretty intensive to make, and every time you need to refuel, you have to make new stuff, transport the fuel to a central refueling site, bring the thing in need of fuel, or your own container, to that site. And then the carbon from that bio fuel goes right back into the atmosphere.
The only advantage is that it looks similar to the status quo. But I think the status quo sucks
The democrats have been trying to raise minimum wage for idk 15 years now, they just haven't been given a functional enough majority to make it happen at the national level, though they have absolutely done so at the state level. I think your complaint might be misdirected, and could better apply to the fundamental structure of our bicameral legislature, and especially at the filibuster rule that is getting increasingly unpopular with senators themselves. When the filibuster is gone sometime in the next 6 years I expect, you will see a noticeably more functional senate.
It's the battery processing that is improved with this process. And im not really sure what you're getting at, but the energy density of lithium ion is king at the moment
