The disconnect is that this case isnt determining whether or not Trump engaged in insurrection. There is already a case going on to determine that. And it's just common sense that it goes in that order, he has to be found guilty of insurrection before he can legally be labeled as an insurrectionist.

Boi i better see you raising a fuss over that infrastructure bill

70% of emissions are industrial and the average citizen have no control over them.

Where the heck you gettin that from?

something really huge

yeah, we use a lot of energy, absolutely every form of energy production we have involves really huge things. Massive mines, dams, pipelines, oil rigs, nuclear cooling towers, fossil fuel power plants, oil tankers. They just have to be built. we can excavate dams, build solid weight lifting facilities, molten salt storage, make arrays of flywheels. There's a ton of answers to energy storage already, they dont involve resources with any kind of scarcity, they just have to be built.

gimme 50 mph top speed and 100 mile range.

I been promoting this shit for a while now. Energy storage can be surprisingly low tech, it just needs to be built

new vehicle weight tax to fund the new guardrails

[–] blazera@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

we've had grid scale storage for a long time now. storing energy for things like cars needed new technology for weight concerns, but for electrical utilities? You lift a weight upwards with an electric motor during peak times, and let the weight down to spin a generator when you need it. It's been in application with pumped hydro storage for a while.

We have all the technology for energy storage we need, it just needs to be built. Theres gravity storage like pumped hydro, pressure storage, thermal storage, flywheels.

Does lava count as poisonous

[–] blazera@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

That's fair. Im big solar fanboy but if more people were fusion researchers the world wouldnt be a worse place.

We already got plenty of nuclear fusion output with no energy input on our part. But folks dont want solar panels
