  • Australia installed battery farms made from of EV batteries to cope with the discrepancies between supply and demand.

    You can't turn the wind on when it's calm, but you can turn wind turbines off, and solar still generates power on dull days, just less.

    Oversupply of cheap clean green energy is the win. Right wingers can fuck right off with the coal firing.

    Anyway, you could have written something more balanced from the start instead of leading with the contextless FUD like some maga nut or petrochemical shill would.

  • Yeah carbon capture is nonsense and we just have to stop burning the carbon, it's the only sane option.

    Wind and solar is absolutely used note for grid, and increasingly. Whoever is telling you you can't use them for grid is telling a bare faced lie. Onshore wind being the cheapest energy isn't theoretical. It's practical. It's now.

  • Sound plan. I wish I had done so a decade ago before the global price hikes by the oil industry.

  • (There’s no way solar or wind generate enough energy, for several decades at least)

    Only because it's not being built, so really very very very misleading.

    In sunny places like the southern parts of the USA, if you took the land footprint of a typical nuclear power station and covered it with solar panels with regular sized walkways in between, you generate pretty much the same power output, but with none of the toxic nuclear waste.

    If you put a used EV battery under every 40-80 of them, now you have 24 hour instantly responsive power.

    Onshore wind power is the cheapest way of generating electricity, by some margin.

    Guess why we're not doing all this. Is it the cost? Of course not! It's far more expensive to build a nuclear power plant. Is it the output? Of course not! Is it the environmental impact? Of course not! Is it the political lobbying and online FUD from vested interests in the power industry? Bingo bingo bingo! Of course it is!

    Get energy nearly for free from the sky? But then who would pay for the oil cartel's overpriced energy?! Exactly. And there you have in one the reason we want this and the reason there's so much right wing opposition to it.

  • Why are you insisting on calling them liberal, when the policy you're objecting to is so illiberal?

    Words have meanings, and just because you like to call centre left parties that you feel aren't left enough liberal, it doesn't mean the labour party is liberal. They're just not. They're mildy authoritarian centre left and you're criticising them for not being liberal left.

    We have a liberal democratic party in the UK, and it's not called labour.

    I know leftists like to see liberals as the enemy because they're not left wing enough, so because the UK labour party is far too centrist for you, you call them liberals, but it makes no sense because they're not very liberal, and the very thing you're disagreeing with is them being the opposite of liberal!

    If everything you said in the last 24 hours used the word centrist instead of liberal, it would all make sense and it would all be true, I wouldn't be disagreeing with you at all. Think about it.

    You are lib left. Your favourite enemy to criticise is the centrists and you will shit on them all day long before you have three words to say against the conservatives (which you will dismissively do after being called out on it), but for goodness sake stop calling them liberal when you're objecting to their authoritarian policies!

    The UK labor party is one of the most transphobic parties in the western world.

    It seems you have no idea whatsoever about what the conservative party and the reform party are saying on this issue, and you aren't aware that the source of the transphobic policy is our supreme court, (the members of which can be vetoed politically but selection is independent). Yes Labour and Starmer have publicly come out in favour of it, but that makes them auth, not lib.

    Please try harder to get your facts straight.

    You have no idea what I think about the policy because you're too busy insisting on using the wrong word for the labour party. It's weird and counterproductive.

  • The UK has a Liberal Democrat Party and a Labour Party as well as the Conservative Party and now Reform (formerly UKIP, Farage is trying to be the smarter, more British Trump).

    It's confusing when you call Labour Liberals, because Labour is strongly in support of free universal healthcare and workers' rights, introduced and regularly raised the minimum wage and is generally pro union. They're considerably to the left of the American Democrats.

    Having said all that, three Prime Minister, Keir Starmer seems to be the most Biden-like Prime Minister we've had.

  • Who is the enemy?

  • This is exactly it, I think. Or maybe he's just in it so much that there's not a lot left without him.

  • Epstein "best friend" Trump chief among them, still working to help actual real life adults who have molested minors evade justice. Trump has always publicly lusted after under age girls, including famously his own daughter.

  • It's called an analogy.

    I no longer expect you to express understanding, since you're so hell bent not to.

  • That makes zero sense logically.

    Freedom of clothing includes freedom from clothing. By wearing clothing in public you infringe on everyone else's rights.

    Freedom of reading means freedom from reading. By reading in public you infringe on everyone else's rights.

    Freedom of speech means freedom from speech. By speaking in public you infringe on everyone else's rights.

    You see? It doesn't make any sense and is actually the opposite of freedom.

    Don't try to argue that your prohibition as liberty. It's nonsensical and the opposite of liberty.

  • Some executive noticed that they can't sell you larger cloud storage if you haven't used it up.

    Then someone on the office copilot team said they wished they had access to more comprehensive data about what people write with office apps and the rest is history.
