Yes, vaccines prevent you from ending up in the ICU, but they aren't preventing the spread. Did you think the vaccines would prevent you from contracting covid? Wear your masks people.

Mozilla should fire their C team and convert to a democratically controlled worker-owned enterprise. They should not be paying a $3 million plus salary to a CEO.

How many tons of coal do we need to burn to convert everything to renewables? How many mountains / forests / bodies of water do we need to destroy to get the raw materials to complete the shift to renewables? My question is: When

Do you have any estimates for the amount of coal that would be required to burn in order to manufacture the required solar photovoltaic cells to cover US energy needs? Does that include the increased energy requirements from shifting transp

This is the result of decades of anti-government propaganda from the conservatives. The US is a failed / faux democracy. People believe the US is supposed to function with certain democratic rules, one person one vote, etc., but it was

"can" doesn't mean they are. Sweden produces ~80 million tons of ore per year. I can say with 100% certainty that they are not doing the heavy lifting with renewables.

We need democracy reforms that allow us to democratically make more decisions about our system than we currently do, instead of relinquishing a lot of these important issues to a handful of representatives. War? National vote. Mask mandates

How did they mine the iron ore without fossil fuels? The mining industry accounts for ~10% of world energy consumption. Around ~80% of the world's electricity use.

Does anyone know how much coal will be burned in order to manufacture "60,000 GW of panels, at roughly 1 km^2 per GW"? Also, how much land will need to be dug up to get the amount of quartz required for this?

Energy consumption is increasing everywhere. Renewables are just adding to the overall available energy needed for the new consumption demand and not negating fossil fuel consumption.

How is copper turned into wire? I guess they have litle men to rub the copper with their little hands until the copper is warm enough to spin ibto threads. Little copper Rumplestiltskins.

I wonder where all of these raw materials for all the solar panels and wind turbines is going to come from. Do you think we can replace all of our energy with renewable energy without destroying the remaining natural habitats? I feel like t

Do you know of any solar factories using solar smelting for solar mass production yet?

China is producing all of the "super affordable" solar panels that everyone else are importing. All of that solar panel manufacturing requires coal.

Do you know if any fossil fuel consumption was reduced as a result of this new wind? Or are we just using more energy?

I haven't seen any news about mass produced solar cell production that uses solar smelting. Any links that discuss large scale adoption? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335083312_Why_do_we...
