  • Scientists for Future, October 2021: Nuclear Energy is no technology for solving the Climate Crisis

    Jump

  • And nuclear cant possibly be built in time, so I guess we are screwed. Don't let perfect stand in the way of good. Doing nothing is not an option.

  • Scientists for Future, October 2021: Nuclear Energy is no technology for solving the Climate Crisis

    Jump

  • Oh, by all means. Build nuclear to your heart's delight, but in the meantime we need to build wind, solar and water as well.

    The part that annoys me the most are the ones that think that it is either or. It's not. It's as much as possible as fast as possible to replace as much fossil in total volume as possible.

    I looked it up and this is real

  • 7 reasons why nuclear energy is not the answer to solve climate change

    Jump

  • Or we skip to the obvious conclusion:

    Tio little, too late.

    It will take too long to implement and will not solve the energy need when it is done. And it will cost more than anyone wants to pay.

    Pushing nuclear, is just a strategy to obfuscate the discussion and prolong the life of oil infrastructure.

  • Japan ‘on verge of no longer functioning’ after birth rate plummets to record new low

    Jump

  • Yeah, and in a city with no greenery for kids to play in and afraid to let the kids out of their sight for 1 minute.

  • So, because stuff happens which doesn't require cars we should design our lifes around cars? I'm sorry, but I don't manage to follow your reasoning here?

  • Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy

    Jump

  • Absolutely, I'm not US and I have no experience with megacities, but I am trying to find ways to build cities that better match our needs going forward. I don't know if the American car dependent suburbia is what is needed either.

    As for parks in dense cityscapes, I've listened to clever architects who've discovered statistical regression claim that parks are more valuable per square meter the smaller they are... And while true in and of itself, it asks the question, how small is the minimum for them to be usable? Humans that experience greenery (even arranged) daily are healthier both mentally and physically. Where is the cut off?

  • Ouch. And how many of those are children?

    Edit: What? Has nobody reflected on the fact that urban environments are for grown ups only?

  • Terraform Industries actually created synthetic methane from sunlight, water, and air

    Jump

  • We have the excess electricity already, but I'm not yet at the legally required amount of solar panels.

    At work we are investing in energy storage, both batteries and heat storage and looking for more solutions.

    I'm looking at hydrogen, because it's known tech and I dream of finding a way to use it in a more stable chemical form for storage.

    This is very interesting! And that fuel could be used either to make electricity, heat or a combination!

  • China renewables capacity additions soared in 2023, growing more than four times faster than the G7

    Jump

  • Yes you do and you are still doing it. It is two different arguments, both are true, regardless of if one of them tracks with you or not. One is an argument about the need to act (climate change only care about absolute numbers) and the other is an argument about how to act (we need to focus on those individuals that emit the most). Both are true and a part of the bigger picture.

    On a side note, it is also important to be inclusive. Consumption isn't the only way to address emissions. An even bigger possibility lies in those able to make decisions on the means of production. They are fewer, spend a lot more money, but are harder to find. Most of them works at corporations, though.

    Jump

  • You are confusing an economic argument (where do we get the most bang for our buck) with the ecological argument. Continuing your allegory, that would be a bunch of arsonists ready to torch both towns to the ground. That must not happen.

  • China renewables capacity additions soared in 2023, growing more than four times faster than the G7

    Jump

  • I agree that energy security and geopolitical considerations are behind China's all out expansion, I've said so before, but in this particular case, I wonder if you might have overlooked an implied /s?

  • Why are energy bills going up, if there is more green power? - BBC News

    Jump

  • Yeah. Someone will always be able to pay more than the common man. And companies using it to produce something will always afford to pay more than someone just consuming electricity.

  • Why are energy bills going up, if there is more green power? - BBC News

    Jump

  • You are so right. Thank you! In a situation where it is impossible to generate or import any electricity at all, a nuclear reactor would not be able to produce any electricity either, because the grid is non-operational.

  • US‘s wind and solar will generate more power than coal in 2024

    Jump

  • Which, in the end will make a "no renewables"-stance untenable, since renewables are the only way of growing the energy sector fast enough.

  • China installed 8 GW of solar in ‘Belt and Road’ countries in 2024

    Jump

  • No, not at all. Pure geopolitcs. In this case a double win, where china ties these countries closer to itself through investment and in some cases can electricity produced fairly close, but west of China benefit china directly after sundown.

    This is how the long game is played.

  • Lithium-sulfur battery advancements promise faster charging and longer life

    Jump

  • Because no matter how hard we crusade here, I still can't find anything other than lithium chemistry batteries.

    Don't let perfect be in the way of good. First and foremost, we need to drive oil off the product spec. Even if it's not all refined products, each and every one of them will leave a hole in the industries revenue stream.

  • Google decides it won't comply with EU fact-checking law

    Jump

  • Yeah... In fourth grade I was taught that there is nothing like an outer foe to create inner peace. I never imagined it to be the US to accomplish that, but here we are.
