Oh don't get me wrong. I think that global warming activists have lost, and that the end goal for the planet is set.
I'm not campaigning, I'm cooking near the fire.
I make assumptions about the world, and in the end I realized the best way for me to hold myself honest, is to make a prediction and then see how it pans out.
This is one of the predictions I am confident enough about that I can moan about it on HN.
I hope I am wrong, that either some technique is actually found where pumping MORE heat into a heat engine makes it cooler, or people ditch the idea.
But this is not about conservation or global warming campaigning. I think the ship has sailed on that one.
This is just a prediction about a new product.
- TeMPOraL 9y ago> that either some technique is actually found where pumping MORE heat into a heat engine makes it cooler, or people ditch the idea It's not the waste heat that's killing us. Sure, given enough energy usage, just the generated heat would become a problem for the planet, but we're far from there. Like hundreds of years far, at minimum. Right now we're fighting with the heat insulation we inadvertently wrapped ourselves in.
- intended 9y agoHey thats a nice distinction, thanks. you arr correct.
