  1. Sooooo boring these days. I want another 60+ event. Oh wait, we got one, wind.
  2. Itll pick up here as soon as we some see some flakes 240 hours out...
  3. Quantum scape has working prototypes, their next hurdle is cost and increasing the number of fast charge cycles before significant degradation. Right now they get about 400, which for me is plenty. https://www.electrive.com/2022/02/01/quantumscapes-solid-state-batteries-holds-400-at-charging-cycles/
  4. My money is on these guys. https://www.quantumscape.com
  5. My over simplistic summary is not to put all our eggs in one basket. There’s a good chance that we could devote all our resources to stopping climate change and not be successful. I’d like to see more programs dedicated to mitigating the effects.
  6. Anytime my wife sees my typing furiously on my phone she knows it’s this forum.
  7. I just started reading it after listening to the latest Jordan Peterson podcast.
  8. Anyone else here read this? False Alarm by Bjorn Lomborg
  9. True but at a realistic pace, just like housing. Mixed in there will be epic crashes like when BTC hit 60k. All my investment is in TRX and XRP right now
  10. Whats going on there reminds me of when everyone was jumping into crypto. There's no way that bubble doesn't burst.
  11. I'm just happy that I dont have to buy my wife a new jersey for four more years
  12. Yes, they’re stop gaps. Do I need to cite every ongoing fusion project or is that also nonsense? If your stance on the future was so cut and dry the correct solution we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I have solar, a Tesla, and geothermal hvac. It has its place. But going 70% solar and wind isn’t the solution to climate change IMO.
  13. I have. I really don't get why you're being so aggressive. Are you really that anti nuclear and pro renewable? You realize both are a stop gap solution anyway, right?
  14. Should we not question the data? Is that a real position? The whole point of a forum is to discuss opposing viewpoints. Here's the link to that graph. https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-climate-change-is-accelerating-sea-level-rise I simply have a different view on how we should approach the problem than you and knew right away that the effect of expansion of water couldn't be the primary cause of ocean level rise. It will take a lot longer to heat the oceans than the air, and the air has risen by 1°C globally in 100 years. Water has 4.2 times more capacity(will take much longer to warm) for heat than air and as I mentioned before there are thermocline barriers that largely prevent deep mixing. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/global-temperatures?src=eoa-features
  15. No its not. Maybe a 1/3, and I question that. In order to know that number with any precision requires incredible amounts of data points that we certainly didn't have pre 1970.
  16. Water is most dense at 40° making it nearly impossible to warm the entire mass of water to cause expansion of any significance. Also with warmer air temperatures there will be significantly more water in the atmosphere.
  17. There doesnt exist enough ice to raise the level by 100 meters. If every bit of ice melted the consensus is 216', but you're talking probably 1000s of years before we get that far.
  18. Yea when I was there last fall it was incredible how low all the reservoirs were. I was also taken aback as to how crazy the farming is there. When driving from Sequoia to LA its hours of orange and olive groves where every drop of water is dedicated to the harvest. No grass or greenery to be seen. The river we stayed on was completely diverted at the base of the dam to support the farming. Heading to Vegas in May, going to hit up Hoover damn which has to be crazy to see with how low the water is.
  19. I’m all for tidal or setups like Niagara Falls that don’t destroy river ecosystems. Just look at the Colorado or almost every river system in ca. they’re literally dead.
  20. Oceans aren’t rising 100’. Unless you’re on a reef island it’s pretty easy to find some elevation near the cost.
  21. Sorry but this article is largely an anti nuclear bs hit piece. Just look at what’s going on in Europe right now with electric prices. And the biggest thing that article misses on is scale and the shear volume of petroleum needed to produce the wind and solar power alternative it’s advocating for.
