Banning non-electric vehicles in 2030 probably means that the alternatives will suck for a bit, and then will get better. Like with RoHS, the lead-free replacement solders sucked rear end, and for a few years it may have caused more harm than good through increased e-waste. But once a critical mass of the market had moved to RoHS compliance lead free soldering techniques improved to the point where you didn't see much reliability difference. CFL lights suck too (in part due to RoHS concerns, but also in general), but it's one of the eternal liberal vs. planner debates as to whether the market would have spent anywhere near enough time developing LED lights as a CFL replacement if regulators hadn't phased out incandescents. LEDs are better than both CFLs and incandescents (for almost every purpose) but were not a mature product at the time incandescents were phased out. Presumably given enough time and research interest and funding LEDs would have become mature tech at some point, and there's always a danger to "we must do something and this is something" type approaches, but a well considered phased approach to scrapping incandescents spurred LED development. Of course some people aren't happy about that. They're the same people who enjoy hanging thieves and beating children apparently https://twitter.com/JoeTwyman/status/847017907800412160

Kill All Cops posted:greens are kinda shite with how they are pressuring scotgov to go green and close off north sea oil Oh no, how terrible, finally acknowledging how the hosed the planet is & starting to do something that should've been done decades ago. Scientists have been talking about the greenhouse effect since the 1890s, by the 1960s voices are getting louder, by the '80s you really have a consensus forming. 40 loving years & we've done next to nothing. Yeah, well, it's going to be painful ripping off the bandage now but it still needs to be done.

According to the BoE inflation calculator the prize should be £1,776,801.96 today. According to the Nationwide UK house price index the value should be £3,995,922! Edit: I can't seem to find a convenient wage inflation calculator but I'm guessing it'd be something like ~2m. Can't be arsed to calculate it myself.

If it was down to private industry wed still be usiny candles. The government is one of the great innovators via regulation and should do it more. If they actually had laws and punishment in place for punishing sewage ospills for instance then the private companies who say its too expensive to deal with would magically find a solution to the problem.

Guavanaut posted:Private industry shouldn't be in the business of providing water and sanitation anyway. All the free market arguments about consumer choice and competition fall apart instantly because there isn't any, there's one single monopoly water and sewerage provider for any given geographical area, any 'free market' solution is stupid to the point of absurd, like there's a bunch of different competing pipes or the public utility runs the pipes but you choose your water provider, and if one of the half a dozen decides to poo poo in the river then you still have poo poo in your river. Snow Crash was indeed a documentary.

A 'poo poo cow' scenario, if you will. With the 'smart cow' situation, only one cow needs to figure out how to open the gate for all the cows to leave, so with 'build a better lightbulb' multiple competing ideas are a good thing. With many cows figuring out how to poo poo in my yard without me noticing only one of them needs to succeed for me to have a big poo poo in my yard.

I posted this in the other UK threads so forgive the repeat. How many countries in the world have privatized their water and sewerage systems? Two. Which countries? England and Wales. In the whole world. Another fun one. There are only two countries in the world where representatives of the state religion automatically get seats in their own parliament/senate/assembly. Which ones? England and Iran

What loving justification does anyone have to argue for incandescent light bulbs? Do they feel their energy bills are too low? I remember the last place I rented, probably around 2011, had a living room lit by 9x 50W GU10 halogen bulbs. 450W just to keep the lights on.
