Six ways renewables increase your electricity bill
olofscience replied to brenthutch's topic in Speakers Corner
Someone hasn't done the maths on the maintenance and efficiency of a solid-state semiconductor with no moving parts, in a relatively benign thermal and chemical environment. Oh wait, it's brent. He hasn't done any maths, period. -
Ford isn't going to love you back, brent. Fossil fuels won't either
-
Well one person here has certainly fossilized...he's still championing the F150 even when its own manufacturer has committed to going full EV.

I don't agree with lefty environmentalists who keep saying this "planet is dying" crap, then you pull the same thing? After making fun of them too. Coal beds were created in the Carboniferous period because plant lignin and cellulose was non-biodegradable to the organisms back then. This caused a huge reduction in atmospheric CO2. However, it stopped reducing in the Permian period, not because of humans (there were no humans 250 million years ago) but because of fungi evolving. Fungi are still here, so coal beds similar to the Carboniferous will never form again. So humans aren't doing shit, except making things shittier for ourselves. I would not like to live in a climate similar to the Carboniferous, because I'm not a fucking dinosaur or frog. But with your support of coal burning you really seem to be pining for those days...

Don't tell me what to do, do it yourself.

Right here:

Nope, you called for war crimes to be committed, it's all recorded here.

Geez, the numbers keep getting bigger, and also STILL COMPLETELY MADE UP. No, you PROVE your numbers. Provide actual evidence. I think when I'm bored later on I'll add them up, to see how big of a pile of bullshit you've cumulatively added to this thread.
-
Why do I get the feeling that those numbers are completely made up?

Warehouse workers for one: https://www.fastcompany.com/90842005/boston-dynamics-and-dhls-new-robot-hyper-efficient-warehouse-worker Amazon, for all their mistreatment of fulfilment centre workers, is also investing millions into automating manual jobs: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-automation-exclusive-idUSKCN1SJ0X1

Interesting how the slightest mention of ICE car workers and coal miners triggered this meltdown...

Despite the UK government's desperate attempt to scrape the barrel for more votes, even car companies aren't going to follow them: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/25/nissan-all-electric-by-2030-rishi-sunak-petrol-ban-europe

Uh huh. That's like saying algebra isn't maths because letters can't be numbers.
-
Completely agree. We need to automate as much as possible, and have a plan in place once we automate our own jobs (and that plan shouldn't be to hire people for useless and obsolete jobs, or to skip on automation). Luckily, because of technology we only need to spend 3% of our GDP to produce all the food we need. Nowhere close to 50%. (and it will get smaller)
-
What happened to your original topic? Looks like you have run out of arguments there. As for EVs, demand in the UK has fallen at the same time real estate prices have crashed. Something to do with interest rates but you won't understand. Unless you think real estate prices have crashed because all people want are really old, dark, drafty, coal-heated houses. None of that lefty modern efficient insulated crap. /s

Sure, but only as a side hobby after their 9-5. They might not be able to make much money because of AI: https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/1/23703087/ai-drake-the-weeknd-music-copyright-legal-battle-right-of-publicity Isn't unrestricted capitalism great? /s

No, quite the opposite - the Conservatives just committed electoral suicide. The image is from last October but the Conservatives haven't made much progress since then. Hence the scraping of the barrel for anything that would win them a few more votes, like the net zero policy. It's not working though, they're still way behind Labour.
-
No, you don't know it. The Conservatives face being wiped out in the next election by Labour. Hence Sunak is scraping the barrel for ideas to try to bail out the Conservatives' underwater polling, including copying many of Labour's ideas. The dropping of net zero is entirely his own idea though, and not only does it look like it's not working, but it's probably going to backfire on them in the election.
-
Sorry to break it to you, but it's actually Sunak's government that will be dropped like a steaming pile next year. Like how a lettuce outlasted Liz Truss when she tried to implement a conservative manifesto straight out of the GOP playbook.

The IEA which brent has repeatedly quoted, thinks fossil fuels in aggregate will peak before 2030: https://www.ft.com/content/9df6003b-3760-4eee-b189-92c0247fa1a5 Article is of course, from the very "woke" Financial Times /s My condolences brent. I didn't know your life expectancy was so short.

speak for yourself, old man

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/08/weather/hurricane-lee-path-friday-climate/index.html Poor brent's predictions have aged very, very badly. But I guess to keep lying to himself, he'll probably start his "hurricane season" threads around April or May so he can gloat about there being no hurricanes.
-
This is the really weird thing, people calling themselves "saved". It sounds like a courtroom defendant calling himself "acquitted". It's not his call to make - but in this case, the judge is silent (and probably doesn't exist).
-
Unfortunately he's probably just on a timeout, guessing from the spate of PAs in his posts before he vanished. Quite convenient for him though, since his posts in this thread aged like milk.

Not when it's in the middle of a discussion like this, then it's just loony.
