  • Every €1 of public funding for wind delivers €7 annually to Europe’s economy

  • Even if the examples you provided are all -to my understanding- hypotheticals, I appreciate you didn't talk about money

  • Every €1 of public funding for wind delivers €7 annually to Europe’s economy

    Jump

  • By 2040, each €1 of public funding for wind generates €7 in annual economic returns,

    So the title is a lie, not a fact. It's an estimation, coming from those who want the funding to increase. Trinomics does also lobbying in the EU. It's easy to assume that green lobbying is fine because it's for a good purpose, but it's worth keeping in mind that lobbying's purpose is about getting more money, no matter the argument used. So, the reality in the EU about wind turbines is that they are deployed even in Natura 2000 areas (protected biodiversity hotspots), and that's because companies want to sell more turbines, to make more money.

    Please, don't get me wrong, I'm all in for wind turbines, but only after proper assesments. This is why I strongly believe that we need to shift away from narratives and arguments related to profit, and focus on arguments centered around the intersections of environment, biodiversity, climate etc.

  • Could you be more specific?

    Respectfully, it's like you are not listening to the arguments you are being provided, which have been repeated to you several times already.

    I don’t want to argue on cloudy grounds

    Respectfully again, your whole approach is cloudy, or should I better say: all over the place.

    Verbally interacting is not only about arguing. It can also be about listening, taking into account what the other person or persons are saying, and reflecting on these inputs.

  • Intersectionality as I see it is to normalize using many frames to bring about understanding.

    I believe it's the opposite of that, actually. Intersectionality, casts light upon the area where frames intersect, which was the previously non-visible part.

    The duality of the machine

  • You say you want a conversation with me but you don't even bother taking into account my suggestion which was actually very simple:

    do a search of the word "sexism" and read at least something about it.

    Instead, you chose to write this comment. Your approach doesn't make me want to give you any more of my time at this point. So bye bye for now

    Jump

  • If the term "mother earth" is sexist or not is something that depends on the context. Well, imo.

    The characteristics you project to motherhood and fatherhood are totally stereotypical.

    To me it seems obvious you haven't spent any time on this topic and I assume that since you like writing, most probably you like reading? If that's the case, I invite you to use your favorite search engine and start researching this topic. I really hope you'll enjoy the findings!

  • We went to Finland to hear about the new 'sand battery' that will turn stored renewable energy back into power for the electrical grid

    Jump

  • I did a little bit of digging on this and if it looks like sand batteries are a subcategory of thermal batteries, which in their turn are part of what is called thermal energy storage . Wiki mentioned something that I found fascinating and that I totally didn't know:

    Thermal batteries are very common, and include such familiar items as a hot water bottle. Early examples of thermal batteries include stone and mud cooking stoves, rocks placed in fires, and kilns.

  • Technology Connections - You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

    Jump

  • I am saying “isn’t earmarked for the federal government” and you come up with a fact check saying that it is not earmarked for military use. Which is the same thing.

    No. “Isn’t earmarked for the federal government” is not the same as “isn’t earmarked for military use".

    Any links to back what you say would be highly appreciated.

  • Technology Connections - You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

    Jump

  • I'm really sorry that this is what you got from what I wrote. I definitely don't think we should keep using fossil fuel. On the contrary, I am all in for phasing out extractions and usage.

  • Technology Connections - You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

    Jump

  • Cuz the US strategic oil reserve isn’t earmarked for the federal government

    According to a factcheck site it looks like the U.S. Oil Reserve Created for Supply Disruptions, Not Strictly Military Use. So maybe your statement is wrong? Otherwise could you share the source you got this from?

    the share of the military energy usage in the federal energy usage is entirely meaningless tot the oil consumption of the US economy

    I don't understand what you are saying, could you please explain and/or share a relevant link? Btw maybe I should clarify that by talking about "consumption" I was not talking in economic terms, just in the sense of "utilizing".

  • Technology Connections - You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

    Jump

  • I have watched only a few minutes of this vid so far, as well as the timestamps and I must admit I don't agree with this approach because of something I learned today.

    He says around 2 m something like: the strategic US reserve of oil even tho the number of barrels sounds huge, they could sustain the US only a month of our current use. From the context my understanding is that he implies that this is due to casual, everyday-people consumption.

    Well, it looks like the Department of Defense is the U.S. government’s largest fossil fuel consumer, accounting for between 77% and 80% of all federal government energy consumption since 2001. So why is this huge percentage missing from this long analysis?

    Anyways, if he talks about the US military petroleum consumption, please let me know. Or if I got something wrong with this new info I got about the US military, let me know too.

    All Plastics Eating Bacterias is Only Way to Get Rid of Plastics & Making It Illegal to Produce A Single New Piece of Plastic Anything, But to Go about It is Extremely Serious Issue.

    Jump

  • I tend to agree with several things you talk about, but I have the impression we see things differently. For example, on one hand I agree with you when you say that we cannot let the Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners to just produce even a single new piece of plastic, but on the other hand for me the root of the problem is that the extraction of oil worldwide is still expanding instead of phasing out. Meaning that, as long as this is the case, more and more plastic will be produced.

    Apart from that, of course bacteria eating plastics sound like a great option, but they are not the only way to get rid of plastics. Some alternatives would be fungi that "eat" plastic, or mycelium that replace plastics. Here are some relevant articles.

From my experience with it, it was super easy to use and even tho at first it was quite buggy, but the devs were constantly improving it. I haven't used it for a couple of years now, and was great then for the way we used it - but I wouldn't be surprised if it is even better now. I mean, I hope!
