exactly. those pesky children are easy to be radicalized; they have barely spent time learning anything at school, so they can’t really tell the bluff.

watch al jazeera for instance (a qatari MSM): hamas propaganda 24/7. qataris probably have stakes in this too by reselling arms, so it helps to keep the flame alive ( they would spend hours rebroadcasting the death of this ‘hero’ journalist in the battlefield, while in fact its lucrative that such people die to always have exclusive material to broadcast, its like a Marvel movie, but with real casualties ).

arms production is a lucrative business right now.

Moving goods vast distances over land extremely cheaply and with zero carbon emissions is a problem that was solved long ago with overhead electrified rail, and it’s amazing to see the lengths we here in North America will go to avoid investing in it.

i hope that this falls in the same line but in Germany they rather tow double trailers (40 tons) on the Autobahn (highway) instead of shipping by rail (which is maybe slower) while destroying highways in the process (always Baustelle: road works), and costing the taxpayer money to be repaired. So shipping companies like Hermes® would trick the taxpayer into competitve shipping prices and fast shipping but is in fact stealing tax money from him/her indirectly. Same day delivery is a disaster to nature. Why can’t people be patient about their dildos being shipped 3-4 days later? the logic beats me really :/

goods should only be transported on rail, period. i agree about the rest.

but heavier cars ruin the road structure. Highways need an alternative for bitumen, and overall electrify the production of road components, including steel and concrete.

A lithium-ion battery pack has about 0.3 MJ/kg and about 0.4 MJ/liter (Chevy VOLT). Gasoline thus has about 100 times the energy density of a lithium-ion battery.

gasoline is 100 time more energy dense than electricity, thus even inefficiencies at 70% for IC engines, gasoline would still be more dense somehow. But there is alot of geopolotics and environement issues involved with fuel. The problem of energy density needs to be resolved for electricity so it would be more convenient to use, even at the industrial scale, which is a major carbon emitter.

electricity is cool, but its not the only source of energy used in the country: fuel is also a source of energy and needs to be replaced. The amount of electricity consumed in France is about 470 Twh, and the amount of Joules used overall is equivalent to 1500 Twh, per year.

all instances dont upgrade their Lemmy version at the same time: sometimes a spare account is required to keep browsing Lemmy. Also some servers become sluggish when they become popular and have high usercount. I always prefer to sign up to the next newest and smallest instance out there: that way i keep browsing Lemmy smoothly. And also yea: multiples accounts spare me also the Lemmy drama of federation/defedaration.

in reddit someone argued that Lemmy isn’t user friendly because you have to make several accounts in several ‘instance’ thingy’s and thus not practical at all. tbh if it takes unpracticality to fend off those single braincell people then all the better: might as well require 2fa and an iris scan just to post a comment or sign in smh

did the same transition when switched to Lemmy. Very wise decision to take.

shareholders are leeches on this planet

misjudged

with all the engineers and logisticians they had 🤡 …

there is nothing profitable about maintaining earth’s natural climate: either people dedicate themselves to saves this planet or we shall go extinct.

yea, there is nothing record about the number mentionned above. But journalists need clicks to get food on the table :/

edit:

The EU installed a record 56 GW of solar capacity in 2023, well above the 40 GW added in 2022, SolarPower Europe said on Tuesday as it released its 2023-2027 market outlook. This year is the third in a row in which the European solar market has experienced at least 40% growth. The expectations are for a slower expansion of 11% in 2024, when annual installations are seen to reach 62 GW

rudimentary (biaised and prone to error) back of a napkin math:

Europe to install 129 GW of new wind farms over the period 2023-2027, and the EU-27 to install 98 GW of that. ( https://windeurope.org/intelligence-platform/product/wind-energy-in-europe-2022-statistics-and-the-outlook-for-2023-2027/ )

so 98Gw in 4 years, thats about 25 Gw of mills per year.

The average turbine – with a capacity of 2.5-3 MW – can produce more than 6 million kWh in a year (http://www.ewea.org/blog/2011/01/wind-power-capacity-watts-and-kilowatt-hours-–-how-is-it-all-connected/)

a 3Mw= 0.003Gw mill produces 6Gwh per year, 25Gw would produce 50 Twh per year)

50 Gw of solar per year produces 73 Twh per year

Final energy consumption in the EU in 2021 was 39 351 PJ (Petajoules) (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Energy_statistics_-_an_overview)

39351Pj = 10930 Twh (per year, for the whole EU)

EU annual energy consumption: 10930 Twh per year

(50 * X + 73 * X) = 123 * X ; X= 10930/123 = 88 years

so at this pace, the EU will take 88 years to be fully relying on renewables. so not very soon :/

France alone needs about 1497 Gwc (or 1.5 Twc) of solar capacity to cover its needs smh

:/

exactly. they also sponsor putin: thanks but no thanks

yea cause that sounds like industrial scale capacity!

nonetheless, it helps to have a thermally isolated residence to avoid warmth dissipation

48kw just for residential! hell that is alot!
