We have a dc well pump that pulls water up 250 ft, moves it 1/4 mile to the house, and pressurizes our tanks to 60+ psi, at 10 gpm, on 180 volts of solar. Thanks so much! I’ll give this a look

Tabletops posted:idk what people are on here. the pnw is absolutely one of the best places to weather cc in the USA. our understanding of the likely effects here are in some ways positive, and negative in others. the negatives are very mitigatable(not a word). our power grid is very safe, and we have a lot of expansion possibilities wrt offshore wind, tidal and other ocean based generation technologies. we have untapped geothermal, onshore wind and lots of room to expand it. what parts of the Midwest do you think will become "literally uninhabitable?" also what about that whole super overdue pnw megaearthquake

Do you have a list of the tech/tools you utilize? I would absolutely love to see it if it exists, I'm very interested in putting together a "shot to invest in" list as I'm buying property soon. I've got to get the gently caress out of the city.

short of a climate dictator it’s not wrong. you’d need people to do it without feeling it or they won’t. though it doesn’t matter cause we’re 40 years too late anyway

A century ago, Sumas in the Fraser Valley was a vast inland lake. https://www.abbotsford.ca/alerts/evacuation-order-and-alerts-issued-localized-areas https://twitter.com/ty_olsen/status/1460818805525860352?s=20 It is currently becoming a lake again, because the Noosack river in Washington has been diverted north (diverted south by the last eruption of Mt Baker) and the Barrowtown Pumping Station (the second busiest pumping station in North America) is failing after its pipes have burst. Several hundred thousand acres are about to be submerged beneath raging floodwaters, with no way to drain them. This isn't the exciting thing, though. Nor is that every road and rail link out of the lower mainland is, as of tonight, destroyed with no date of re-opening. They might have the longest and most treacherous route, the 99, open by next week. No. This is the real poo poo: This has not been publicly announced, the government is keeping it quiet to avoid a panic. I, being a big-brained individual with connections in places, am in on some poo poo: https://twitter.com/KamilKaramali/status/1460731733427449858 Bobbing there in the Coquihalla River, where its protective road has been ripped off, is 200m of the Trans Mountain Pipeline. The 60+ year old, 300,000bpd oil & fuel link between the pacific coast and Alberta. This pipe carries 90% of the refined fuels supplied to British Columbia. It provides 10-15% of the unrefined supply for the refineries in Washington State. This is not the only location where it has been compromised. The road to either side of this location has been totally destroyed in both directions in multiple places. I really did not have Vancouver, British Columbia down as the first place in North America to collapse due to a climate-change induced disaster, but here we are. It's happening. We are about to watch some serious poo poo go down over the next few weeks. Rime has issued a correction as of 05:56 on Nov 17, 2021 |

 All we have to do to solve climate change is to invent things that mean nobody has to materially change anything about their lifestyles. Yes, that seems like a resonable and plausible plan. Also: RE: Rime's post - lol RIP

Like the funny thing about the technophile approach to climate change is that it's actually based on completely faulty assumptions with no basis in historical fact. There's this weird and completely incorrect idea that we have, as a species, consistently developed technological solutions to problems. We haven't. We've developed various technologies that may or may not have filled some specific need and then built our civilization around them. There generally aren't a lot of examples of humanity facing some pressing and immediate problem and coming up with a solution on the spot, especially when we don't already have an existing framework to use.
