Rime posted:Maybe one day westerners will wake up and realize you cannot negotiate with China in good faith, you cannot "democratize" it by being nice to it, and that our downfall is going to stem from failing to firewall it like North Korea when we had the chance - before a Chinese-American scientist defected to build their nuclear program. The past century has demonstrated succinctly that the singular goal in that nation is the global domination of the Han cultural identity by any means necessary. Forced conversion, genocide, slavery, theft, kidnapping, extortion, distribution of lethal drugs - they have no limits and we do not share an ethical or moral philosophy on which to build an equal diplomatic relationship. incredible (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

https://www.heavyliftnews.com/mammoet-in-group-developing-wtg-building-system-for-200m-towers/ The initial monopiles for the offshore windmills came from China but required extensive rewelding to meet quality standards. Despite the substantial costs of windmills, their profitability becomes evident when we consider the power they deliver in comparison to the cost of energy, even if their efficiency ranges from just 20% to 40%. These windmills can generate a significant amount of profit in the long run.

Rime posted:No, China doesn't publish any data on those lines whatsoever, lol. All I have is watching Goldwind fall on its face the first time it had to compete in the big leagues instead of with MinYang and other similarly state-controlled entities in a state-controlled market. There are only 7 countries in the world which publicly report project-level annual windenergy production data. Specifically, the USA, Turkey, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia, the Dominican Republic and Brazil. That is weird about their direct drive, I thought it was meant to be much better due to reduced maintenance and failure points by the fact they don't have gearing. Direct drive has an obvious flaw in the west, it requires a lot more rare earth magnets with the vast majority of those coming from China. Is it a bit like Solar where that used to be obviously poo poo when it came from China so it was better to buy western made ones. Then eventually they had to impose Solar tariffs as they turned out to be not as poo poo as they were made out to be. And now you shouldn't by them even though they're cheaper and better because it uses Uighar slave labour. And saw it play out similarly with other Chinese technology. Smartphones, Laptops, and their semiconductor industry. Starts out people are told it's poo poo so you shouldn't buy it. Then as people give it a chance and realize it works just as well for cheaper, they start getting sanctioned for one reason or another. Marenghi has issued a correction as of 12:02 on Jun 30, 2023 |

tuyop posted:Instead of "feasibility" or "reasonableness" as our starting point, we should probably start with an ethical framework or moral imperative and then design policy around that. Feasibility must serve our values, not the other way around. It's not because we could (few hundred of years ago), that we should; I mean come on, try and be reasonable !

Rime had some bad takes in the past, which they paid for, therefore everything else they say is also wrong, therefore the biosphere isn't collapsing and the wind industry isn't a sham, therefore I'm not going to cook to death in the next 5 years as I have to work outside in this poo poo. Honestly pretty relieved. I always knew deep down that the people telling me bad things were themselves bad people, otherwise they wouldn't be telling me bad things!

Bob Ross Nuke Test posted:"From pole to pole, the winds of change are here. The climate crisis is no longer a future problem. It's happening now, right before our eyes." There's plenty of reasons to be concerned but this is some bullshit. The jet is definitely weird right now but showing a text book jetstream in the article, then the current one and being like " WhOa So WaVy aNd WeiRd" is not good journalism and/or science. The jet is never as simple as in a textbook and frequently wiles out. Is this year getting kinda freaky with it? Sure. But don't let these people make you scared when there are plenty of reasons to actually be scared. Right now I have two major questions about this year, climatologically: 1) How strong this insane El Nino will get 2) Will it actually work like a normal El Nino in a shifting climate? The whole cause and effect of El Nino and La Nina is getting hosed up. Some of the biggest rain years in recent memory have been in La Nina, and some pretty lovely rain years have been during even strongly presenting El Nino... I think it's an extremely open question right now if, for example, California will even get the canonical El Nino rainfall this winter or if some other random poo poo will happen. Anyways we'll see. I might make another El Nino effortpost in a while. Short version: It's Strong, Jim Extremely spicy subsurface El Nino warming in the far East Pacific for June/July:

Milosh posted:Given that we live in a hell world what soulless corporations are going to thrive? Monsanto. Koch Industries. Basically any corporations who know how to build and "produce" at any cost, be it financial or in human lives. One big reason the oil companies are going full tilt boogie on a climate doom run is that they're not going to be able to move their product efficiently once poo poo gets *really* bad. I mean, nowadays they could just get a PMC to kill Lord Humongus! But when poo poo collapses, the CEO is lucky if he just gets to be the hype man.

Chad Sexington posted:How should people be acting by your estimation? Hoarding poo poo? Super gluing themselves to works of art? Just sobbing in a Denny's parking lot? I think people should be angry, they should carry huge amounts of hatred and disdain for either a specific group of rich/powerful locally-wise or just a generalized disdain for the rich and powerful, always ready to at the bare minimum poo poo talk them openly with the same hate the average joe has for terrorists or immigrants or Jews or whatever the gently caress. The rich should be public enemy number one, and there needs to exist an aversion to wealth. Not even for any utilitarian purpose like saving the climate because lol, lmao. But solely to get even. I think it's a lot like when a situation has deteriorated so badly between two sides, that negotiation becomes irrelevant as MAD has been set in motion already, and at this point it's all about the release of intensely repressed emotions with the other party strictly for the sole purpose of getting loving even.

All of the *good* bugs (including those in our guts) are dying. All of the *bad* bugs (both insect and sicknesses) that tend to spread things that cripple or kill us are thriving. Almost like an immune system attacking a threat. I mean, for gently caress's sake, there's a tick that spreads a sickness that makes you dangerously allergic to consuming red meat. How much more on the loving nose does Nature have to get?

Did someone say ARkStorm? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/magazine/california-dams.html quote:Dale Cox, a former project manager at the United States Geological Survey who has worked extensively with Swain, told me that California’s dams are unprepared for extreme weather because state water authorities have a false sense of how bad flooding can get. “The peak of record is driving a lot of engineering decisions in the state,” he says, and that peak is an underestimate, maybe a gross one. “Already, we are seeing several 100-year floods every 10 years.” quote:By using the stable as a high-water mark for the American River, researchers were able to set the peak discharge of the river during the flood (n.b.: 1862 flood) at more than 300,000 cubic feet per second — greater than the median flow of the Mississippi River at St. Louis and far above the peak of record. On the day I was there, the American River was rolling along steadily at 1,000 c.f.s. quote:Without a detailed model of how the Arkstorm would translate into water levels within the state’s reservoirs, though, the authors of the report were left gesturing at a general calamity. “That was the outstanding missing piece,” says Christine Albano, a researcher at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nev., who worked with the Arkstorm team. quote:An aerial view of New Bullards Bar Dam, with the reservoir above and water coursing down its spillway and turning into a waterfall.

I asked. No, he said. So many of the officials he talked to about Arkstorm were like the mayor in “Jaws” — unwilling to see a problem they couldn’t fix. Most officials wanted to do nothing if possible, or if they had to do something, they wanted it to be the cheapest thing they could get away with. lmaooo
