Sadly enough, this will become the new normal. We, as a society, really need to look at the role oil and gas companies are playing and stop talking with them.

They are the problem, not part of any solution.

It’s actually insane how the oil and gas industry has hijacked the climate conferences and is controlling the narrative.

CO2 capture, hydrogen and a whole array of ‘solutions’ which are nothing but a distraction from the core issue; this is a criminal enterprise that’s a full-blown threat to humanity.

Great, more power at unrealistic prices in… 2045.

It’s probably better for the climate and the environment to grill veggies on a gas or coal-fired grill than to grill meat on an electric grill.

The law doesn’t apply anymore. Who’s going to enforce it?

Economy is something else than the stockmarket. In fact, I’d say the two have absolutely nothing in common anymore. The stockmarket is a casino, with Joe Average losing everything once in a while.

I guess we need to find a word to capture the atrocities that are being done to people of a certain belief system in the world.

Or should be just call it ‘g3n0c1d3’?

For decades Republicans wanted to ‘starve the beast’, and they are now close to actually succeeding. It’ll be interesting once the dimmed bulbs in the red stats discover that their life style was basically possible by government policies transferring wealth from the blue coastal states to their backward ass states.

It’s an unpopular opinion here, but I agree with you. I’ve been running a single disk Synology for a decade or so, replaced the original one about 4 years ago.

The software is pretty sleek and it would fit OPs requirements perfectly. I don’t care for some power hungty Intel based PC sucking kWhs of power each day, just to host some media.

Mine boots up at 19:00 and shuts down at 01:00. It has a built in Torrent client that even my partner can use.

2 to 3 percent.

Building way more renewable generation than needed at peak, plus elasticity brought by batteries (hello V2G cars) plus HVDC lines to transport power between regions will be faster and cheaper than deploying the most expensive form of power generation.

Yet, it’s the power companies that don’t want this. As it’s threatening their business model of central generation and metering every kWh going to the consumer.

This is the reason why these discussions keep popping up. Right wing parties are fully aligned with the centralised thinking of traditional power companies.

It reads like the Trump regime…

Still, the shelves will be empty during the summer and who knows also prior to the holidays.

Congrats. You just explained the problem of the West using a food analogy.

An organic farmer would be wiser than to spread fresh manure over their fields. Manure needs to ripen for at least 6 months to a year. So yeah, buy organic.

I’m pretty sure the forces that are hijacking our political systems have very deep connections to the fossil fuel industry. These mofos have been running our society form over 200 years, and renewables and batteries are threatening their existence. Did we really believe they were going without a fight after the Paris Agreement in 2015?

Stop burning stuff. Cut of their oxigen. So we can save our world.

That’s not how the stockmarket works, lol.

Here’s a short short about shorting.

Thank you for sharing, incredible scenery and a troubling story.

‘This one REALLY counts…’

Most, except the hard right in the West, including Trump and his sycophants.
