The steelman for carbon capture is that after the entire economy is electrified with clean generated electricity, and everyone eats a diet of lab grown meat and we have rewilded lots of former pastures then we'll still need carbon capt

Yes, it was originally written for those devices. It's now branching out to support similar devices from other manufacturers.

A lot of the early Trump responses were incredulous about some insane thing Trump said to a rally crowd, but he was basically repeating whatever insanity they'd all heard on Fox News the night before.

Type of food still has sizeable impact even if the food miles issue has been misleading. Cutting red meat and dairy likely beats cycling for errands for example. The switch from an ICE car to an EV (and assuming a standard US amount of driv

Solar is only about 13% of China's power. They have hydro, wind, nuclear and gas too as well as coal. Their off peak prices have generally been overnight, ideal for truck charging, though they have started having them around noon too l

France has been offering lower prices at night to make the most of their nuclear since the 1960s. Australia used similar tech to make the most of baseload coal overnight since the 1950s. It's just a good idea, and should be used to get

I wonder if the parts of the IRA they were betting on remained in place when Trump gutted it. Grid Battery seemed to mostly survive but not sure if there's as much crossover there as with EVs.

Running trucks on a 50% coal grid like in China makes both economic and environmental sense. It makes more of both as the Chinese grid gets cleaner.

The emphasis on cotton tote bags seems weird. It's like the attacks on EVs that focus on cobalt or copper mining. You wonder if they realize that those materials are used for other things too. Or is their ire mysteriously specific in i

This undersells the weirdness of Musk. He is after all at this moment talking on Twitter about how he regularly tells people who say they are Jewish that they aren't Jewish and if they don't have DNA tests to prove it he doesn&#x2

This feels like very low quality propaganda. Like at one point it spends a whole paragraph on how landfills are better than just spreading trash around randomly. Is there someone out there seriously arguing that developing nations should ju

Not sure if it's a translation issue but there's some weird language which makes me suspicious. I thought this was going to come out strongly for e-fuels which is something the Germans have pushed at various levels. In the end tho

A recent similar example was Mad Men rerelease in 4k where the VFX weren't redone properly after a rescan of the film and you can see the man operating the machine with the pipe that spews sick out of a characters mouth.

All the cost were hidden off the balance sheet 40 years ago. They can't build them cost effectively (or on schedule) now that there's more scrutiny on where the money comes from.

Donald Trump does a lot of stupid evil stuff to further fossil fuels but getting all the tech nerds excited about even more expensive nuclear power is actually evil genius.

Good info, though I feel the graph that shows the daytime solar utterly flattened is underselling batteries. Part of the magic is that they can absorb or return exactly as much as is required much much faster than any other tech. Is there a

Part of the reason for the ventilation requirements is due to burning fossil fuels in the home for heat and cooking. You can ventilate a little less when you're generating less pollution in the home. Some ventilation is still a good id

I think the current air pollution deaths of fossil fuels (several millions per year) are roughly an order of magnitude higher than even expected climate change deaths. Many of the big estimates of death rates in say 2100 combine the air pol
