if people understand how bad climate change really is they might self harm. It's much better to maintain the status quo, which will never harm anyone

IAMKOREA posted:I've been a radical butterfly conservationist for my entire adult life, including granting significant funding and material supplies to native species opposing invasive species. I've had guns pointed at me by pigs dispersing milkweed seeds. In my long, thorough experience, people like you are as bad as the cops and insect collapse denier pundits. You wallow in misery because you've conned yourself into believing that taking the easy way of doing nothing is virtuous, and because people actually doing something threatens your delusion, you get defensive and sabotage people you should have been aiding in solidarity with your evangelism of despair.

the fyad pack post in qcs more sincerely than anywhere else on the website, so it's there that you start to get an understanding of them as individuals the qcs regulars that bleat "stop talking about it like it's going to happen!" are a separate and mostly unconnected group. qcs fyad are motivated by concern for others' wellbeing, abhorrence of physical violence, and a profound sense of secondhand embarrassment for nerds posting freeform prose-poetry about their relationship breakdowns, as well as their own... unique culture, and each fyad's individual madness/personal philosophy mahershalalhashbaz has issued a correction as of 01:10 on Jun 12, 2022 |

their concerns about cspammers shooting someone are unfortunately valid, because a cspammer did in fact shoot someone. the fact they shot him in the foot (i'm going to be kind and guess they did that deliberately) is beside the point, and it is also to tiny toes' credit that he didn't embark on a revenge spree against goons in response. these are wild times!

SniperWoreConverse posted:If the sheer amounts are good enough who gives a poo poo? If it can produce a shitload of energy who cares if 10% or 50% gets wasted if it can deliver a substantial fraction of need without other problems. The problem in a nutshell is if you use microwaves, you need huge (like hundreds or thousands of meters wide) antennas on the satellite, and similarly huge (km scale) collecting stations on the ground. For example at 2.5 GHz, a 1000m aperture in geosynchronous orbit can only achieve a best-case, diffraction limited spot on the earth of 5km. Even if you are able to beam down 1 GW of power, your power density at the ground--at your massive 5km x 5km collector station--is only 40W/sq m, which is total trash compared to what you'd have gotten just building solar panels there instead. You can do better at higher frequencies, but of course the 1000m aperture isn't realistic to begin with, and atmospheric attenuation becomes a problem at higher microwave frequencies. Best case, using sort of realistic technology, if you had a 20 meter transmitter at 100GHz, you'd end up with a spot size of 6km. If you ran at 100GHz, with a 100 meter wide aperture, you could focus down to about 1km, which would allow your giant 1km x 1km collector to achieve power density just about on par with solar panels. Hooray. Because of the thinned array curse, you cant use a phased array of satellites to overcome these focusing limitations. Your only choices are make giant rear end Star Trek antennas, put the satellites closer, or go gently caress yourself. Most efforts have focused on the middle option, but as of yet the problems involved with beaming down huge amounts of power to fixed terrestrial collectors while flying overhead at 16,000 miles per hour without killing anyone remain insurmountable. Send Elon a PM it sounds like the kind of stupid poo poo he'd be into. If you use lasers, the problems are much less severe. But then you lose 50% of your power generating the laser (conservatively), 50% again during conversion, and between 10-100% in the atmosphere depending on weather. So your best case efficiency is 22%--not great not terrible. Of course, even if each satellite has James Web size optics (6 meter aperture), your spot size with 3.5 micron radiation at the atmospheric IR transparency window is still only ~30 meters. So, if the satellites above a given ground receiver can collect ~1 MW of solar energy, before losses, your collector station will generate as much electricity as a similarly sized photovoltaic in normal sunlight. Well whatever gently caress it, we can have many satellites illuminating each base station. So say we limit the aperture to something almost reasonable like 0.5 meter, and just have like 500 satellites per base station. Now, as long as each satellite collects ~1 MW of power, they can (incoherently) add their beams onto a single ~300 meter wide spot, and we can illuminate a collector a few hundred meters wide with 500 MW of power and do about 2-3x as well as ground based solar would have. At a cost of 800 billion dollars. Now to just invent compact space based lasers that can operate continuously at megawatts of power, and a way to cool the massive amounts of waste heat in the vacuum of space. Oh and let's just pretend thermal blooming from this much laser energy in the atmosphere doesn't cause problems. Anyway, it's not impossible, but it sure would be easier and more efficient to just build solar and nuclear generation on the ground. Morbus has issued a correction as of 01:24 on Jun 12, 2022 |

There was a campground that I worked at growing up that sprayed some kind of solution on the roads to keep dirt down and I can't help but wonder if it was fracking brine. It worked really well, but when I think about how widespread using fracking brine as an alternative to road salt was in the midwest it makes me really wonder about what the gently caress it was that kept a dirt road from being dusty.
