That's how adults discuss this stuff is what I'm hearing.

I haven't looked at hydrogen poo poo for a few years, have they figured out how to store it without cryogenics or having it diffuse out through the high pressure tank walls?

It came up itt a little while ago and the short answer is no

we aren't posting our villain speeches right now but I think a more condescending tone would be something like "I envy the way in which you are still able to wish for unicorns and naively expect it to come true like an ignorant child"

maybe throw something in about breeders or a few 7 syllable words

exactly. evs are not useless. evs can take ~4-5Gt/yr off the emissions rate. calling that useless is fundamentally not understanding the problem and choosing a false-dichotomy drama that fits the catatonic/learned-helplessness vibe.

of course i will now get dunked on for a page by super cool posters going "oh so you think the hummer ev is good" and "oh so you want more people to die from traffic accidents" and a hundred other stupid concern trolls. "i guess i just think trains are better but you do you short king".

its all so insipid.

EVs aren't even rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, they're more like changing the dressing on the salad in the lunch bar on the titanic.

lmao i knew blue hydrogen was a marketing gimmick but holy gently caress 20% greater emissions than just burning the natural gas for heat

the ultimate issue is that every single part of the solution to the problem is dependent on multiple other parts, like ev's can be great but unless they're paired with decreased demand for usage on roads, greening the electrical grid they run on, sourcing the components without destroying local environments, and so on and so on, their impact is going to be extremely limited

still, if the only policy we can get is 1:1 replacement of all ICE cars with EVs then I'll take it, extremely limited improvement is better than none at all

There is no solution, the last 2 centuries at least have been a horrendous mistake and must be erased.

like how can you be this loving gullible to clickbait concern trolling in 2023

Say 'tap dancing Christ' or other marvelisms all you want, but maybe you could also provide some figures that would show we could replace enough ICE vehicles with EVs for it to move the CO2 ppm needle, while also staying within any plausible amount of grid capacity

I took a stab at it and I don't think we can

it doesn't matter if replacing every ICE vehicle with an EV would significantly move the needle because we can't do it anyway

in case anyone hasn't been paying attention, this is going to be a crazy rear end el nino year.

Spain hit 114f (ground) a few weeks ago and other european countries are hitting >100, SE asia is regularly popping over >100f temperatures in april/may. America is already having mass shootings multiple times a day and violence goes through the roof when it gets hot, even something mild like not having the right kind of deodorant can push americans to snap. SST is still really bad. It could be the worst summer that we've experienced to date.





and it's not even loving summer yet. so make sure your ACs are up to snuff, you've got wildfire filters and masks, beach supplies, and start stocking up on ice cream.

the "end game boss" is convincing me that there is hope. if you fail i'm going to put you on probation.

most people will fail to even convince me that their argument has a possibility of instilling hope though. there's a whole thread dedicated to talking about how unapproachably insurmountably pessimistic we are here, and that's undeniably true only because empirically it is the reality.
