In what possible way could natural gas be considered near renewable lol E: renewable means we have enough of the resource to last essentially forever, like sunlight or wind or tides. Nuclear power is considered near-renewable because we have enough of it to last thousands and thousands of years easily. Clean energy is different from renewable, it means that the energy source doesn't produce CO2 or other major pollutants. Nuclear energy is clean and near-renewable, natural gas is neither of those things, not even close.

Didn't Germany classify natural gas as a renewable resource because they hate nuclear so much?

It's cleaner then coal but that's mostly because Coal is just the absolute worst.

ilmucche posted:Didn't Germany classify natural gas as a renewable resource because they hate nuclear so much? Yes, but Germany is a very stupid country run by evil worthless neoliberal ghouls, much like almost every other country. Kurieg posted:It's cleaner then coal but that's mostly because Coal is just the absolute worst. Yeah I mean if you compare it to coal pretty much anything looks good, coal power is literally the worst possible way to generate electricity. We get more radiation released by coal plants every year than the entirety of the Chernobyl accident, not to mention the insane amount of atmospheric pollution that is obviously involved.

I guess natural gas is mostly methane, which I guess you can consider kind of renewable if you start doing things like letting pools of pig poo poo ferment, or start collecting cow farts, or can refine my posting.

ilmucche posted:Didn't Germany classify natural gas as a renewable resource because they hate nuclear so much? Yup. Several of our major political parties really hate wind and solar energy and keep passing legislations to make it near impossible to place wind turbines anywhere. The coal industry is still going strong, so when they decided that nuclear energy had to go immediately after Fukushima, something had to replace it.

I'm pretty sure that China was encouraging generation of biogas in rural areas by exactly this. A house would have a relatively small biogas processor thing that would process animal waste to produce enough gas for a couple of houses for heating and cooking. The show I was watching made no comment about your posting, but I'll just assume it could work.

This is something that happens on farms in the US in some places and most landfills. One of them closest to me generates all of their own power plus supplemental with a gas turbine.

I’ve gone with kettle on the stove and electric kettle. But then I discovered the instahot. Pour yourself a cup of 90C water instantly, anytime. Best $400 I’ve ever spent.

I think those things only use like half a kilowatt hour per day to keep the water warm, it's not really that expensive iirc.

I love the fact that in the richest most developed country in the world people are just boiling cups of water on the stove or in a microwave, and then arguing that it's both normal and somehow the superior method.

One of the rules was that no one could be taller than Grandpa. No one! My aunt insisted on feeding me the same amount of food as her kids when I had to stay with them for a weekend one summer, because giving me more would be unfair to her kids I was 14. Her kids were 2 and 4. She literally made exactly enough food to give me a 4 year old portion with no leftovers, and then refused to let me use her kitchen or food to make something for myself. To this day she still can't understand why nobody in the family likes her.

It was $400 all-in for the additional electrical circuit and the plumbing work. I wasn’t going to get into a pissing contest with the internet over something that brings me joy.

Chronically late people will just happily steamroll over you forever if you never call them out on it with any consequences, I would've said something a bit more direct and left my phone on silent just in case, but otherwise nothing has a chance of changing if you don't just start doing something concrete like that.

That's just basic science This may actually exist and is called the Mpemba effect after a literal thirteen-year-old who asked a professor about it and got made fun of until the professor tested it and was like, I'll be damned, it did work that way (for him (at the time)). And it's an absolute bear to replicate because there are eleven jillion stupid variables to control for and like ten different theoretical explanations for it but I just think it's neat
