4d chess.

Ironically it’s also the amount that makes possession of cash suspicious and subject to seizure.

You’re clearly a child who has never known responsibility or hunger. Let the adults talk and work on this one.

Reconstructed for whom?

Not if it’s closed loop or C negative with renewable sources. There’s nothing inherently bad about combustion, it’s just the scale and externalities.

We’ll always have refineries though. And that’s ok. We want hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, plastics, among many other things. But we can just as easily feed them with waste biomass, farmed biomass (not corn- switchgrass or poplar or mesquite or hemp, etc). Chevron holds a patent to make gasoline from biomass and the break even price point is $12/gal. We’re not far off. And with subsidies or taxes we’d be there now (had the clean power plan survived for example).

We also have massive, massive untapped pumped hydro capacity to use as storage. It’s literally just the oil lobby. Nationalize the remaining oil companies after allowing them to spin off their refineries and chemical processing plants (still useful, can also use biomass feedstock). Not rocket science, just intractable politics (because of Citizens United).

Yeah same. 400W on the greenhouse. Pretty sick backup power. Would probably run the freezer with the batteries I have, as it is just runs fans, stereo, irrigation, chicken heater and water barrel heaters in the winter. But would be good enough for charging and a few other things on a pinch. Tempted to DIY for the house cause this system was so easy. Need to get an electric car to use for battery storage first though. Thinking of getting an old Nissan leaf to make into an off-road/hunting toy.

It’d be a shame if someone figured out how to hack what will undoubtedly be an absolutely abysmally designed product. To create seizures or something.

That’s the goal from the US evangelical point of view. Makes you think.

Can’t wait for my $3 check. Maybe people could pool the settlement money and hire some sort of person to punish the board members publicly… Maybe toe them to a chair at a amateur guitar convention for Oasis enthusiasts.

I mean best people who are also politicians. Arguably Trump is the best politician, because despite openly being an absolute trainwreck of a human being he somehow has had power twice.
