China isn't better. They just do colonialism 2.0 with their investments and debt-based diplomacy. The don't care one bit about a single African life.

Getting to netzero is most economically achieved using solar, wind and battery storage + gas peaker plants for intermittent capacity needs (already today and more so in the future).

"those in power" is just a strayman. We don't need a revolution but pragmatic people. If US Congress wasn't red, we would be moving considerable faster in the right direction.

We need 2-6% of GDP each year spend on this. For the next 30 years. This is an amount of money we could just create by monetary policy or Quantitative Easing as the like to say. Nobody needs to get poor when money is spend.

Counterpoint once Co2 reduction is in place and the norm (as with Wind and solar) it becomes hard to go back to other ways of doing things.

The only solution is money! And it isn't so expensive to turn things around. An estimated 100-200% in global GDP is needed to reach carbon net zero by 2050. Annually we need to spend 2-6% of GDP to get there. Remember every bit of Co2

What? You as the shareholder own the earnings and their use. Earnings thus either become dividends or become re-invested or are used to buy back shares. P/E is the central metric by which to judge stocks on a fundamental level.

No European country restricts where you can drink (to my knowledge). Only what things you can do when drunk.

The infrastructure spending is indeed mind boggling, but I have the feeling similar to their real estate glut that they are building too low quality and are making a grave mistake in this because they will be stuck with this infrastructure

While I am thankful that Signal exists and is a considerate of privacy concerns I don't think their decisions are always right. For instance, I would love to see picture sent to me by my spouse automatically saved to camera roll. Signa

If we assume double productivity we could also foresee a future where we get double the amount of high quality movies produced for the same amount of money. Productions would be more viable even on smaller budgets. Could be nice for consume

I would be in favor of a fee that is 1024 * 2^n USD where n is the nth year you want to keep the patent. 1st year = 2000 USD 10th year = 1m USD per year 20th year = 1bn USD per year It becomes prohibitively expensive if you don't use i

Most of the costs are acquisition cost which is squarely due to the Ukraine war.

The 4 last old nuclear plants which were switched off last year wouldn't have been switched to coal if it wasn't for Putin's war of aggression in Ukraine. Coal in Germany will end in 2030 anyway and the renewables are built a

Peaker generation isn't that expensive. Because you have almost no fuel cost.

The W/$ is trending down aligned with log of volume. If there wasn't volume then there wouldn't have been a price drop and vice versa. The Germans pay but it is most internally circulating money. The Afd vote is mostly a vote

Much of the prices originate from the solar more than 10 years ago. The prices were much different then. But the subsidies arguably jump started some of the global solar industry.

You are making it out to be an insurmountable challenge and reject what we are have already achieved. Cost-parity renewables being the most impressive feat. Global treaties such as Paris are a second.

Why are you saying this. We just need to get to netzero. This is going to cost some money but it won't break the bank. Estimates go up to 2x global GDP.

TFA explains this. As models got better and CO2 rose more and more it was realized that the old models lacked important aspects of cloud reflectivity.

I have wondered for some time if short term in-balance in fossil fuel supply capacity (oil tankers and pipelines) could help renewables along significantly. Let's say an environmental organization would buy 10 oil tankers and would int
