It doesn’t generate CO2 because it is a closed loop, although a leak event is possible. Technically, (if no accident ever happens) then it is small scale sequestration (uses blow up tent). Technology is better than compressed air because it is stored as a liquid at room temperature, and has much better power density on turbine. Commercial viability is greatly enhanced by having a waste heat source, but it’s already better than CAES economically, even with the bubble storage.
Trump declared the VP the current president. That VP declared the US actions are/were BS and Maduro is still rightful president. But she is indeed in charge until he is returned. The Venezuelan government is still pretty much as it was yesterday.
Adaptation was not defined. It could mean have the world’s rich accomodate the world’s poor, but our failure point has been poltiically that we could not sacrifice just the rich oil company’s extortionist profit power to reduce our energy costs in addition to future sustainability expenses/compromises. How can that broader failure of direct immediate social benefit translate into future political support for social sacrifice for humanist purposes.
A side note, the only policy that was ever going to, or will ever, stop global warming is a carbon/GHG tax with the proceeds paid to citizens/residents as a dividend. Demonic warmongering for losing wars, along with the divisiveness it invites for inflation and attacks against the economy, with more oligarchist and zionist supremacism as the winning solution is necessary to make you more miserable, and in your misery, lose all concern for human sustainability while consumed with anxiety over your near term future.
Back to adaptation, perhaps a politically relevant class is relatively wealthy residents of Phoenix. Should “we” give them free homes somewhere that is not an abomination to humanity? Compared to trucking desalinated water into Phoenix for 200 years, digging them a canal from the Great lakes would be a bargain. Florida coastal home owners vote in what is sometimes a swing state… should we build them a sea wall for entire state?
Surely, with electric bills set to soar 300% because we politically require all the AI datacenters to bring skynet surveilance state that ensures skynet support (or China wins), cannot tolerate an extra 10% electricity increase to subsidize the poor’s access to AC, since Skynet will make the poor unneeded anyway.
The problem with supporting adaptation, is that you give the politically relevant classes a lifeline to support continued climate terrorism. The lifeline being that they will get bailed out after we are finishing arguing about who deserves to survive/be bailed out.
The other issue with adaptation, is that it financially costs less to mitigate worsening than it does spending on ever increasing adaptation. Even if you win political support for the stupid option, it is still smarter/cheaper to mitigate instead.
There will be adaptation either way. It’s still lame to shift agenda to “subsidizing adaptation” to support it getting even worse. Our current adaptation path
See. No need to worry about there not being an adapting strategy. The part about cutting forest fire mitigation and FEMA budgets doesn’t quite make sense, except for boosting insurance premiums.
99.999%+ write down. Not just Cybertruck sales collapse sign, it is evidence that Tesla has no other plans for its “wonder battery”
Polar vortex related, where vortex in 2 directions. Heat moves up to where the cold moves down. Still, this is a big record for darkest time of the year, and global warming makes the polar vortexes stronger.
OpenAI issued press release for hiring an ethics/guardrails officer. But the real job will be to validate fuckery, as the billionaire family member hired to pull the plug, will actually be there to prevent anyone from pulling the plug.
did it update ubuntu base version?
edit: yes. this means support for deskflow (mouse sharing)
It was always a very poor plan to blend H2 with Natural gas for regular heating. It wastes the value of the H2. In pure form it could make cheap electricity with useful waste heat in homes, but blended requires very high NG prices (even including carbon taxes) to just burn it through a chimney.
Note the absurd excuse: national security. Renewables makes you more secure because there is no dependency on fuel.
was a decent post. A lot of time went into developing it, and @calliope@retrolemmy.com 's link isn’t fluff, and better background of the project.

Concern for human sustainability, in identical paralel to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, can only exist if Cannibalism isn’t the obvious solution to your dumpster fire conditions. If human sustainability is not profitable to establishment, then you will be made to need Cannibalism.
an npm library to right pad strings is somewhere in there.
Gates has always backed long shot (scams) energy ventures. The most promissing, 2 years ago, was an electronic mass mirror alignment for achieving concentrated heat temperatures enough to disintegrate water into hydrogen. But seems to have gone nowhere.
Gates is also heavily invested in the SMR, and small scale fusion, scams. These scams always require lobbying/bribes to realize them, and Trump supports bribes and scams that produce energy that can’t compete on cost with fossil fuels. His “spend on mitigation instead of prevention” change is about a “bribery package” that includes flattering in order to get governmnent freebies for his scam energy.
It is both not useful and false to model GDP under global warming.
Higher insurance, higher HVAC energy consumption, higher food water and natural fiber prices, and higher reconstruction activity after floods, storms, forest fires all increase GDP. GDP doesn’t care if you are spending more to survive or buying a bigger yacht.
Death from disasters, heat, or unaffordable cost of living, and lower property values from both insurance costs and drought driven poor agriculture productivity is a loss in real wealth, where life/health is included in wealth.
Cost of global warming is only the latter, and cost of survival.
Ruth Porath (Google) also praised Trump energy policies.
Jensen, is furthermore all in on Skynet militarism and support for Palantir to mass surveil Americans. In addition to giving China the best tech to compete with US empire domination.
What makes Trump/GOP the worst participants in government is the pure oligarchist corruption. Loyalty+bribes equals full government support for their extortion power.
Not the usual power kite design which is more “air wing sail” shaped instead of parachute shaped. Use of helium balloon would make it less susceptible to fall to ground in wind lull.
Kites tend to make electrical power by changes in tension rather than tension. The air wing allows a cycle of power and depower movements to drive a motor. I don’t get how a parachute can do the same, though this would be good for boat propulsion.
It’s more in Europe, though I don’t have data. Just the last 10 years has had an incredible amount of +5-10C days, and eastern Atlantic/Arctic is warm in late fall.
well, all y’all’s comment karma is going to the moon, and so that proves the strategy is unstoppable!!! I too will post Nvidia if you give me that sweet.
