That's not how it works. There are tons of people who can pick rent vs buy. If rents go up, they'll switch to buy, opening up vacancies. There are also people who can move to other locations. If rents are up, you need more houses,

Actually local increases emissions and congestion. Local means you grow food in places not really suitable for it, so you need extra energy to make that happen. Would like you like to grow tomatoes in a heated greenhouse, or out in the op

Read the rest of this thread. Burning plastic for energy reduces the need for oil from the ground. It's by far the best way to handle plastic. It removes waste, it's emits less CO2 than pull extra oil from the ground, and it'

Did you just overlook the "for energy" part of the sentence? You burn plastic instead of oil, and if you burn it properly it has zero toxic emissions. In the net, you have reduced CO2 emissions, because now you don't need to

Compared to what exists today, over the time period of right now. Do you only work in extremes? Either 100% plastic, or 100% pv? There is fuel that was pulled out of the ground, we can use it, or we can spend even more energy to pull even m

You are forgetting the energy cost in pulling the fuel out of the ground. It's actually quite a high amount! With plastic you get that for free.

If you do a full lifecycle analysis on the part plastic usually wins. Even if you recycle the metal, you can burn the plastic (which is the environmentally best way to handle it) and get back virtually all the energy embodied in it. Using a

The article has a typo: "Most will be melted and turned into fuel that is burned, adding to carbon emissions." That should say "reducing carbon emissions", not adding. Burning plastic for energy is a net reduction in CO2

One way that can happen is if your prompt and context are so specific, that this copied code is the only thing that matches. This would also imply that this specific question is a rare one, with few examples online for it to train on.

20k (10^4) photons/sec is a TINY amount. An ordinary flashlight emits something like 10^18 photons per second. Even a star in the night sky sends around 10^8 to your eye. That few photons is not going to have much bandwidth.
