What unions are involved in ethanol? That's primarily the corn farmer/big ag corps' interest.

That’s a good plan. I’ve been using a battery mower for a couple years now and don’t miss gas at all. It’s nice having a mower that just works. I hardly mind mowing at all now.

I don't know why you have so much trouble with Bosh, they're up there with other well known brands such as Sorny, Panasomnic and Magnetbox. On the other hand I have a cordless Bosch drill/driver set I bought refurb, they&#x27

A local machine shop could probably build up the steel in the worn keyway in the shaft with a welder and cut a new keyway for a good deal less than the new part cost.

Yes. They didn't just stop testing for flu when someone shows up with influenza-like illness (i.e. flu, covid). Maybe in some places where medical systems were already struggling in normal times, but not in developed nations certainly.

Blindly applying your advice (which was offered without qualification - so that's how I'll respond) opens the door for all sorts of concern trolling and contextless talking point repetition. That often-paid messaging serves a purp

You should maybe take this as a lesson to not try to speak authoritatively about things you are ignorant about. If you don't know, offer speculation sure but statements like 'almost certainly' and arguing all up and down the

Some of that cow pasture/range land used to be better land, and has been degraded by bad farming techniques and/or overgrazing. The area around Pipe Springs, Utah for example, was significantly more lush 150 years ago, and now it&

NOx/SOx emissions specifically. People repeat that statistic a lot and mix it up between noxious particulate emissions and climate-changing CO2 emissions. To be clear, cars emit far more CO2 than the largest container ships.

I think you're underselling moorlands here. Trees can be planted on moors, and other even more carbon-sinking activity too: "It’s worth remembering that the peatlands of the UK store more carbon than the woodlands of the UK, Franc

That's equal to or less than what I pay in the US. Seems to me the Canadian system doesn't drive up costs that much.

Your source seems to be low by about 2 orders of magnitude on the energy density of lithium. They assume ~100% of a battery is made of lithium. There are only 200-300g of lithium metal per kwh in a lithium ion battery[0,1], or 12-18MJ per k

On a side note, that graph is almost unreadable to me. What, are we paying by the pixel now? The legend is barely there.

Prior to the industrial revolution the CO2 in the atmosphere was significantly less than today, around or under 250 ppm, so a bit of methane wasn't a problem. Now even the same amount of methane when added to the 410 or so ppm CO2 we h

Admittedly I came at the GP harder than I could have, but it's so easy to write off large diverse institutions as "fucking bullshit" and poison a discussion before it even starts that I think it was warranted (that was the t

Don’t you see that you’re doing what the article describes, right now? Your shallow analysis and careless invective, somehow pointing the finger at school systems for something that is largely a result of human nature, is bullying. You’re t

I'm with you on this. I recently tried out a keyboard with Cherry MX switches and was taken by surprise by how wobbly they were. I assumed they would be less wobbly than my old keyboard. It really ruined whatever tactile gain there was

Baseload + peakers is one concept that allows a grid to meet demand. But it's not the only way - decorrelated intermittent generation + peakers could work too. But what doesn't work well so well is baseload + intermittent generati

I would hazard a guess that people who buy lottery tickets are much less likely to buy insurance than those who don't. I think some similar psychological mechanisms may be at play, but not in the way you are suggesting where they overe

If you consider comments and posts from anyone on Twitter or Reddit who claims to support one side or the other, it would seem you have a point. But if you look only at what the elected officials from the two sides say, it's clear that

There are people who truly believe that widening roads causes more cars to drive on them and fails to relieve congestion. Imagine that! Except, that phenomenon is well-supported by research. Perhaps the situation you describe isn't so

That study is an extremely weak support to the claim that this virus can't spread asymptomatically - it's nearly useless for that purpose. They only studied a small number of people at the very tail end of the infection who showed

Free market principles fail for healthcare for reasons entirely unrelated to those things, as has been pointed out up-thread. You're advocating for regulations to be eliminated as if that would fix unrelated problems. Do you care if he

150 years ago there was no energy grid anywhere in the world. We've come a long way since then. You seem really confident that a renewable grid will never happen. Do you have credible projections on storage and deployment costs that in
