Owlofcreamcheese posted:I absolutely do not count the power plant I get power from any sort of consumer choice. Nor do I count getting nuclear power some sort of sacrifice over getting coal power. I don't know, I elect to pay a 100% renewable provider for my power instead of just getting it from coal plants. They just sent me a letter saying they're dropping their prices by 12% because generation is getting cheaper.

StabbinHobo posted:yes yes yes we need to deal with meat but holy gently caress is it wierd how its everyones #1 go to example Australia's science agency has done that. They've developed a method of converting hydrogen to ammonia and back, so that bulk hydrogen can be transported as fuel for hydrogen cell electric cars. Now it just need to be adopted everywhere. https://thenewdaily.com.au/life/auto/2018/08/17/hydrogen-cars-csiro/

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but after seeing other articles about the membrane other than the first one I posted here, it is to be used to convert hydrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia, and then back from ammonia into hydrogen at fuelling stations. Sounds like a winner to me, as long as we can get clean sources of electricity to power the conversions. I probably have to read something other than news snippets and with a more critical eye, to verify if I'm right though. Some time when I'm not on my phone.

StabbinHobo posted:when you say "we" though you really mean "anyone but me" cuz you're not just useless you're actively counter productive I've been reading both sides of the argument and I don't see how what oocc posts is that unreasonable. From what I can tell he's advocating for big global / government level changes instead of begging people to be "good" for everyone's sake

friendbot2000 posted:Also, buy good quality shoes and just repair and resole them. Over time it is cheaper than buying a new pair of shoes over and over. I have 4 pairs of shoes, but they last and can be repaired by a cobbler. “The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.” ― Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms: The Play

Rime posted:I am the civilization recovering after centuries of a dark age, but will somehow be able to strip mine this worthless coal deposit which is only accessible thanks to modern technology, and which will have a negligible if not negative EROEI. I think now we've dug up and processed a poo poo tonne of metal it would actually be easier for future civilisations to piggy back off of that effort ie recycling aluminium, steel, copper etc The would need some good form of energy though, yes.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I feel really unclear what the goon approved apocolypse fanfiction even is on this one. Pakistan is having a water crisis that is going to get way worse but like, is the idea they are going to nuke then occupy india? Are they going to get real poor then india is going to nuke them? Is the idea just they are both savage animal countries so if things go vaguely wrong they will just mash their face into the nuke buttons? I think Nevvy Z is suggesting they crank out some big nuclear power and desalinate a poo poo-tonne of water
