  • communication from other parties is abysmal to non-existent in my experience

    i can’t remember when was the last time that a big party said “that’s what we want, that’s what we’re gonna do, that’s the goal and we’ll make it”. it’s all accusing each other and a mudthrowing party.

    the afd at least offers goals. they say “we’ll kick out the immigrants and take back our country”. that sounds good. at least it gives people hope. that’s why they vote afd

    we need more parties that actually want something instead of throwing mud around non-stop. we need to go back to the basics and iterate about what people want and how do we get there.




  • you forgot tidal power (from the moon)

    also geothermal is about 20% heat from when the earth formed and about 80% continuous decay of radioactive materials. (This means that the planet’s core cools down so slowly that it’s still hot inside from when it formed) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_energy#Resources

    Outside of the seasonal variations, the geothermal gradient of temperatures through the crust is 25–30 °C (77–86 °F) per km of depth in most of the world. The conductive heat flux averages 0.1 MW/km2. These values are much higher near tectonic plate boundaries where the crust is thinner. They may be further augmented by combinations of fluid circulation, either through magma conduits, hot springs, hydrothermal circulation.

    That means 0.1 W/m² of heat on the surface of earth comes from the inside of earth, meanwhile the solar irradiation constant is 1361 W/m², while actually only about 200 W/m² reach the surface on average if you account for day-night-cycles (30% efficiency) and weather patterns (clouds reflect light, 50% efficiency). So geothermal makes about 0.05% of the energy that reaches the surface of earth.
