Deal.

Next!

There’s a class mashup of it with Smack My Bitch Up too.

Removing the GHG needs to be done but this is not how you do that. This is a way to say “look, we’re trying so just let us take another hit of that sweet sweet crude OK?”

Plant trees. Simple.

Let the systems balance themselves out. Simple. Not fun but Simple.

CCS for industrial processes and that might one day be good enough to work on a global scale? Maybe but that’s fucking ages away and it’s certainly not this.

Why not just call my mum names while you’re at it.

Write the whole quote not just the bit you like.

Scotch is a drink.

Round but pointy in places.

If you don’t get the reference it’s perfectly fine to just not comment.

Entirely valid and I agree that continual growth is right at the heart of most of our problems. I guess most of my frustration comes from the fact we’ve had at least 40 years of warning, 20 more years of proper, severe warning and promises for action and now that we’re seeing day in, day out that all the warnings were right, we’re still not moving with any real purpose. I genuinely thought that COVID would show us what we need to do and how we could do it but nope, slipped right back into business as usual.

That wasn’t always a thing. This is a new and rapidly evolving area with issues that will be solved. Hell, battery chemistry is changing rapidly already. ICE cars have been death traps for most of their life and are still at higher risk of going in flames and just as violently, case in point the car carrier that went on fire that everyone just knew was an EV, wasn’t. It was a shitty old ice. Luton Airport too. Everyone knew that was a. EV. Was a shitty old diesel and that car park suffered serious structural damage because of it. In addition the AA claim that the majority of ICE fire are because of the 12v battery. None of this is new it’s just different.

We don’t have time to perfect and mature the tech though. That was 40 years ago. Now it’s whatever fucking works that isn’t fossil fuels and burning of them. It’s a damn sight safer than an ICE which is actually carrying extremely combustible liquids in it too. It’s not perfect but it’s better and this kind of " we have to hold off" is effectively supporting the status quo which is fuckig everything up as it is.

Can confirm. Have become a total energy nerd. Want more solar. Want heat pump. Watch how much we spend and how much we make every day. Tell everyone about it and have no shame. It’s a hell of a drug.

Good news. I installed 14 last year and expected if all went well to have them paid off in 12-14 years. Going by the last 10 months it will be less than 6. That’s from a combination of savings (1/3 of the energy bill) and also selling the excess to the grid (£164 worth so far) and all of Ttat’s at 55-ish degrees North too on a not ideal roof. Anywhere south of me should absolutely have them covering their roofs, there really isn’t a good reason not to.

Next up is top up insulation and replace the boiler with a heat pump. Possibly a second battery.

Is oftentimes better than a master of one.

People always miss that bit out.

Oh look. It’s this one again. Honestly that list is like the worst fanfic from the people who would be banned by the horney hammer. Stop being suckered in and let the stories an characters tell their own story. You know why no one goes on about this shit in Star Trek? Because it’s not supposed to matter. Aspire to this.

I had a couple of issues but that might be due to using Portainer. Currently using immich go to upload the pictures from the old immich install. As long as it pulls the albums over then all good as the pictures are all flowing in nicely.

What foods do we eat Vs make into fuel? Hint, they’re not the same. Sorry, there’s plenty of info on all of this out there you just need to actually look with an open mind. I’ve given you the resources to start but I don’t have the time nor inclination to continually fight these fights with people who make clearly outlandish claims and then just come back with “well prove it”.

I hope you do follow the links and go and learn more but ultimately that’s up to you.

Enjoy your day.

No, I’m not going to have to come up with serious evidence because it’s been all over the place for quite a few years. It’s not new that the batteries in current a recent gen EVs will easily outlast the car. Sure, early and probably current Leafs are crap but even they can last quite well. Tesla? Easy piss.

Thanks for playing.

Sorry but I’m not going to be more thorough because I’ve had this conversation plenty and your statement that a battery needs replaced after 8 years is one of those classic giveaways for people who don’t actually look into any of this but rather just read the usual FUD and click bait. Go look up everything electric, read and watch their content for a good start.

Aviation is likely to be serviced by batteries or hydrogen for short to medium flights. Long haul and cargo is likely to remain fossil fuel based for quite a while due to the nature of the fuel caution uses. If you had said shipping you might have had a point, they can burn near enough anything but they seem to be trending towards something like ammonia.

What do you want me to say other than Google it for recycling? It’s widely known and has been for quite a while now. Unless you’re actively looking for the opposite you should have no trouble finding independent information rather than trusting some random on social medium. But here’s a few to set you off:

This one is from the energy saving trust, a non-profit government organisation and had a good round up of typical myths:

And here’s an excellent talk by a Dr who’s a specialist in the battery and energy storage arena:

Incidentally if you actually want to learn more about this then Everything Electric is a good start.

Sustainable agriculture for food is one thing, to make fuel is something completely different and I think you know that but are being obstuse on purpose.

Look, I get it. You don’t like what you’re seeing, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong and it’s OK to change and adapt when presented with new information. The future is a mixture of technology that we have, are developing and haven’t even thought of. Biofuels may even have a small niche but that’s all it will be, a niche. Fully electric will be the dominant source of transport in the near future and batteries are going to make up the majority of that.
