Guavanaut posted:If we don't crash out on October 31st and instead A50 just expires that's pretty significant regardless of what else happens. That still seems rather dependent on what the EU wants. Which I suppose if they want to annoy boris the most would mean forcing him to take positive action to crash out rather than defaulting to it.

Zalakwe posted:I have worked extensively in low carbon energy tech and you would be surprised how much of it is funded by companies whose business model relies on fossil fuels. They aren't idiots, they realise the world is changing and they want the IP and the greenwash. If they funded it adequately, we wouldn't have the problem. Hell, if they stopped actively spending money on people who actively propagandise against the problem, and stopped actively spending money buying politicians who ignore the problem, if they had not chosen to ignore the problem in the 70s... If they funded it even close to adequately, we wouldn't have the problem. But they would also lose their primary business model so thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Aug 7, 2019 |

Guavanaut posted:They're making a move to ban new gas installs in UK housing. The good competent way to do this would be mass subsidies for heatpumps but it'll probably just mean more houses with storage heaters. https://www.era.ac.uk (and EBRI who are a part of ERA) are both all over this tech. Not sure if it's still a thing but at one point EBRI had a proposal for a huge waste to biogas grid providing for the majority of Birmingham. Small scale storage and integrated grids is where it's at the moment. If they can get balanced local, renewable based grids running well we'll have cracked it. thespaceinvader posted:If they funded it adequately, we wouldn't have the problem.

I don't dispute any of this but it doesn't mean we don't want their money. Schlumberger put up millions for ERA I mentioned above. Without that cash there is no way the Government would have come in with £60 million match funding. Is it perfect, no. It is what it is though.

I'd probably have to rephrase it as "A Novel Flow Battery Producing Surplus Energy via the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of a Dilute Aqueous Solution of Carbamide and Chloride Salts" or something. Also by 'waste to biogas' are they just doing compostables/digestion or are they looking at plastics too?

Without that cash there is no way the Government would have come in with £60 million match funding. I'd prefer for environmental orgs that are researching green power to have NONE of the oil companies' money, and their lobbyists, pet politicians, propaganda youtube channels and youtubers, TV channels, roving science denialists, etc, to also have none of their money, than for both to have their money. The latter are doing FAR more harm than the former are doing good. Defending loving Schlumberger isn't exactly a good look, until they complete divest themselves from loving OILFIELD SERVICES and start putting ALL of their phenomenal amounts of money into unfucking the planet. And even then, it's not gonna be a great look, because they're still a giant megacorporation. Schlumberger would do more good by not existing at all, than they're doing by existing in their current model. And they're among the least horrible of the many, many horrible oil companies.

The counter to that (and I have a horrible feeling that parliament will go with this) is that we have reached a deal, and that deal is "agree to the set of treaties and regulations Theresa May negotiated, or leave without any treaties." I mean my initial reaction was a brief flare of optimism, but I feel like it's going to be too hard for even most MPs to understand the weird loopback logic of the initial argument.

Comrades, I've been visiting family away from internet so have barely caught up with last month's thread yet, but I thought you'd want to know as a matter of urgency: We have kittens. They came as a bit of a surprise, considering we didn't know the cat was pregnant (or that there was a cat).  Here she is. We're buddies now. Right, back to the start of the thread with me.
