    Life after death.

    Posted · Edited by BOHICA

    Many live well beyond death in a physical space and many will selfishly occupy a small square plot where that land can’t be touch ever again.  Maybe society in the future won’t give a fuck about that shit and get rid of peoples bones so they can use the land for better purposes.

    So what’s the monetary value of that 

    You can buy c8 z06 and a bunch of gm products with bitcoin.  So if those pieces of shit have any value then of course bitcoin has value.

    25% of the Texas electrical grid is wind. That’s an outstanding percentage. Gov Abbot is committed to renewables. 

    South Dakota get over 50% of its electricity use from wind and it became an exporter of energy vs an importer due to wind.  The state without wind would be sending money out of state to buy energy but with Republicans such as Kristi Noem’s and farmers fondness of renewables they bring a bunch of money into the state selling powah.

    :news:  US would be fucked without renewables since almost a 1/4 of the electricity the United States uses comes from renewables.
     

    Renewables provided over 22.7% of US electrical generation in 2023, according to newly released end-of-year US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data.

     

    EIA’s latest “Electric Power Monthly” (with data through December 31, 2023) reports that the combination of utility-scale and small-scale (e.g., rooftop) solar increased by 16.1% last year. Small-scale solar alone grew by 20.1% – faster than any other energy source. In December alone, small-scale solar increased by 21.4% while total solar grew by 30.7%.

    As a result, by the end of 2023, solar was 5.6% of total US electrical generation. Small-scale solar accounted for 30.9% of all solar generation and provided more than 1.7% of US electricity supply last year.

    Solar generation has now nearly matched hydropower (also 5.6% of the total) and should surpass it within the next few months to become the second largest renewable energy source, behind only wind.

    I don't think anyone here is going to argue that. 

    Being in ag, how do I accomplish "clean air", if a government entity wishes to suddenly enforce their 2.5 micron pollution level?

    I know that is not possible in a dry year, so I find it very easy that our government could go to war with me (or us) over some "made up" number, which may or may not be enforce equally.

    Not sure if they are regulating dust from farm fields but every time I see the difference in equipment generated dust on no till vs tilling farming it’s a pretty big difference on what goes airborne.  Any other pollution should be easy to control but have an expense to meet the standards I’m sure.

     

    this was Salt Lake a few weeks ago.  It’s disgusting when the weather doesn’t blow the pollution for the oil refineries else where.  You could not see the mountains by the end of the day.   You can definitely feel it in the lungs and breathing.  This should be easily addressed and no brainer on fixing and everybody should be for fixing unless they think they have a right to pollute.

    Can’t keep doing business the same old way I guess.  Mega auto company conglomerate coming to Europe to fend off Tesla and the Chinese automakers

     

    Volkswagen, Renault, and Stellantis are weighing possibly joining together to make cheaper electric vehicles – fearing it’s their only option. The urgency is growing as European automakers are being far outdistanced by BYD and Tesla. “A business-as-usual approach is a losing option,” reports Bloomberg. Hmm, didn’t anyone get the memo sooner?
