  • Trump campaign strategy pivots to praying he wins September debate

    Jump

  • As the article says, she is only level in key swing states. While 538 does give her good chances overall, they also gave Clinton a 70% chance of winning. It is closer than it should be so make sure to get it and vote and make sure that your friends do too.

  • Reports that Capri Sun is phasing out pouches for bottles is ruining childhoods everywhere

  • I hate paper straws. There are many different compostable straws and paper is about the worst.

  • Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery

    Jump

  • "The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team during a very solemn ceremony,"

    Having a photo OP and givinhg a thumbs up and a smile does not fall under the definition of solemn to me.

  • Suburban New York police make first arrest under new law banning face masks

  • I feel like the 14" fuck off knife should be enough to give them a talking to.

  • Citing the Hyde Amendment, insurance refused to pay for federal employee's abortion, even when her life was at stake

    Jump

  • He will definitely make it worse but it is already happening. States that restrict abortion see significant increases in their maternal and infant mortality rates. Texas, which already had one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the country, saw it get worse by 20% after they restricted abortion.

  • I avoided this article on Ars today for a reason....

  • US grid adds batteries at 10x the rate of natural gas in first half of 2024

    Jump

  • Yeah...none of that is true. Onshore wind is the cheapest power generation. Photovoltaic is second cheapest. Methane is leaky and raises your risk of asthma and cancer. You do not need to be tied to an electrical grid for anything with solar panels and batteries for energy storage.

  • Let me ask you this since you do not appear to be arguing in good faith and are using strawmen: do you believe humans are most of the cause of climate change?

  • They are using a strawman and trying to claim victory. They are not arguing in good faith.

  • I enjoy that you are making a strawman. Nobody ever said batteries have no negatives. You asked how they were cleaner than natural gas. I answered. Sorry that the answer hurt your feelings.

  • mining rare earth minerals

    Are you under the impression that we use NMC batteries for grid energy storage?? LOL

  • Mostly because natural gas is a one and done thing when it is used. Batteries can be recycled. Production of natural gas is largely done through racking which destroys the groundwater. While batteries often require mining (excluding mechanical ones), they often can be broken down and reused in new batteries. And of course there is the greenhouse gas emissions from methane that are horrible. Methane is extremely leaky. Methane usage emits about as much greenhouse gas emissions as coal does.

  • You know what pumped storage hydro is? A battery. Unfortunately that is not an option everywhere and takes up a massive amount of space. The space portion is not a huge issue for grid energy storage for the most part but it can definitely limit where you can do it and its capacity.

    As for the amount of lithium available, there is absolutely more than enough considering it is one of the most abundant materials on our planet. Not that we need to use lithium for grid energy storage. Lithium is very high density energy storage which you are correct that is not a high priority for grid energy storage.

    Basically there is no one solution for grid energy storage. There are mechanical batteries, medium density chemical batteries, and even "depleted" EV batteries. We just need to apply what is right for each particular scenario.

    I'm not disagreeing with you overall. But I figured more info and context is helpful.

  • Solar/wind + battery storage is cheaper than natural gas and a hell of a lot cleaner. It makes no sense to go for a more expensive, dirtier form of energy.

  • What's the worst video game you've ever played?

    Jump

  • Worst that I can recall playing was Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. You had to hit the B button to turn around. It was frustrating as hell.

  • Islamic State group claims responsibility for knife attack in Solingen, Germany that killed 3

    Jump

  • I know. Many gun nuts say gun restrictions are pointless because criminals do not follow the law. That makes little sense. Making them harder to get means it is harder for criminals to get them.

  • That's fine. Oklahoma totally does not have a shortage of teachers or anything. /s

  • NASA says astronauts stuck in space will not return on Boeing capsule, will wait for SpaceX craft

  • I hate Musk but he is not the one who designed the Falcon rockets and capsule which have the best track record. I would much prefer to go on one of those than Starliner.

  • Juries out on why he decided to use a knife since criminals do not care about gun laws. /s
