Meat production is using some parts of this energy (e.g. transportation of feedstock + food). You either want to look at how the energy is produced or how it is consumed. Moreover, we aim at reaching net carbon by 2050. This means that we n

The main point of the article is that degrowthing is incompatible with poverty reduction. I like à lot this quote: "you can't negotiate with physics". It got quite famous after being used by G. Thunberg at Davos, while it is

Wow. So much energy put to gather misleading data.

The lastest report of IPCC brings more data and confidence about extreme weather. The key number is that their probability has increased by a factor of 150 wrt. to pré industrial era.

I don't know much about California but it seems that most of the dam potential of the state has already been exploited [0]. This is the case for most developed areas. [0] https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac

This is a low tech blog. It is difficult to reduce your carbon footprint while experiencing an exponential urge to consume new tech. Tech products footprint is either during consumption (most of the devices requiring heat or cold) or during

How can you confirm that the sealed object is not a fake? Sealing an object is quite easy no?

We need to mourn a normal life. We won't and we shalln't live the same life with the same goals than the previous generation. Mourning does not mean to become nihilist. But that the only way to get excited by new sustainable and r

Plant wastes are a part of an eco system. They are cunsomed and transformed into other wastes. Actually, only human beings see wastes as a definitive lost. For every sustainable cycles, a waste is going to be transformed into you will consu

I am an nvim user. I still have everything on my vimrc but I installed nvim on all of my servers. Some plugins do not work on vim8+ (telescope.vim e.g.)

Let's say that a serious proof of a lab leak emerged, what would be the political consequences? Will countries ask China for compensation?

I am not sure the fire hazard argument hold. Would you remove any Californian forest for that reason? Only a very small portion of earth is not able to generate a forest when left alone

I personally use neovim with coc-pyright plugin. It integrates remarkably well mypy. It has saved me so many hours of development, I just can't dev without it nowadays.

What means recycling? From 1 kWh you restore 1 kWh? Or from 1 kWh you restore 1 Wh and then publish a report claiming how sustainable is your business?

Apparently [1] 2 billions of people live under 100$ a month. But my guess is that those people do not have access to a computer, or it might be quite challenging to provide an office not to far from their place with internet. [1] https:&#x

It doesn't work here. The idea is nice. Could you add a sentence rephrasing? I'd like to say "my mom is" instead of "a mom"

I don't think click and bait articles is new. What is new is that now we read articles from different sources, such that we are much better informed and think more critically

OK but some models of gen iv of nuclear power plants can pretty much do the same. It sounds pretty dumb to me that journalists are super enthusiast about fusion but much less about gen iv (which is way more mature)

Can someone explain to me the advantages of fusion over fission? Except for the radioactive wastes and the enthusiasm of journalists I don't get it

This measure is more of a symbol than an effective way to reduce carbon emissions. Attacking symbols is a always nice, but isn't it a little bit late for that? I can't wait the day where EU will try for real to follow Paris agreem

Danemark knows pretty much the same situation -- except for the nuclear power plants. A very good visualization of both situations compared to France is given in electricitymap.org

Can anyone explain me what is the danger of losing 60% of the species? As soon as we maintain the same volumes in tree, it is overall fine, isn't it?

I think there is a misunderstanding in my calculation. If one pair of shoes last 3 times longer, then you investment is divided by 3. The same for load factor. If you use your shoes one every 2 days, you need to buy 2 times more shoes.

I am not pretending to have exact numbers but we should have some orders of magnitude in our heads. Let's pretend that our electricity is running fully in nuclear wrt. fully in wind turbines/PV: load factor is around 0.7/0.8

A good reason for the drop of electricity use is the increasing price of electricity due to fuel increasing prices for extractions + investments in renewable energies
57.
by pl-94 7y ago
Yup. Fuels + coals are directly killing a few millions per year because the storage is the atmosphere. There is no green source of energy, but some sources (hydro, nuclear, renewables) are several orders of magnitude more letals than other

Let's not forget that: - CO2 emissions of Germany is still 5 times more than a comparable (similar GDP/flatness/weather) than France for electricity production [1]; - Electricity production is roughly a third of all final e

Well comparison of Tchernobyl has its limits also. For sure now coal miners would not be sent on the core. But also, nowadays, nuclear power is a much more mature technology. 3rd generation (EPR) are extremely safe: it can resist to a 8m-he

Airplane is just 2% of world CO2 emissions. It makes sense of course to reduce it, but at the world scale, farming and coal are the real burden!
