"Better a bleeding heart than none at all."
Grapeman, I have a few basic questions for you.....
What gives you the right to bankrupt an already fragile environment for future generations just so you can have cheap energy you can piss away on personal indulgences?
Since when are you entitled to shit on, deplete and exploit the only home our species has so you can have a big screen TV and all the rest?
How can you be so totally self centered, self indulgent, and arrogant to think that this is okdokey?
I hope you have some kinda real answers to my questions, cuz if you're just gonna call me names again and try to show yet another tree hugger his place yer just pissin' in the wind..................agin.
So...are you ready for the TOUGH decisions? I don't think you are. Some have to go to save the rest. Ready to choose? Or are you going to kill everyone because you can't/won't?
DB, you know you and I fuck around in a good natured way, TBT, I'm in the process of ascertaining bids to have an array installed on the southern facing side.It just makes sense for me to do so.Initial hints at cost are a bit staggering(25k), may take a while to recoup...but what a difference/immediate impact it would have monthly, maybe even do something nice for the earth in the process.Maybe make a buck or two
Geothermal<true> heat pumps another great investment,especially in cooler climbs.I'll be in the market for a dual-zoned, whole house A/C unit pretty soon.The strides that have been made(20+ years) is impressive.I'm actually looking forward to 'geeking' my house out a bit.
Anything to ease the nut works for me.
Phew, I was relieved to read that.In~Plain~Site: "DB, you know you and I fuck around in a good natured way"
I saw it too. The sand was baked into 4 x 4 ceramic cards, coated with 'ink' on one side and the 'secret sauce' on the other side. They're layered together like a car battery. Typical, daily household-energy could be stored in the size of a shoe-box.
Tough decisions? Limited recources?? Where do you get this? Foundations of economics? It's all about scarcity and shit, isn't it?
What exactly do you say is limited?
That's what they told me back in school: Shit is limited. Fresh water is limited(what a bullcrap).... Oil is limited... iron, gold diamonds and all that shit is limited.
Well fuck that. Sun is plentiful... You can grow hemp nonestop, windpower, tidal power. That shit has no limits!
It does not have to be limited. There are no limits for humanbeings and we have already proven it for many times.
The only tough decision we will have to make is wether we want to believe in a world of ABUNDANCE or SCARCITY.
Yet someone has already decided for us some time ago, so what the fuck are we to decide?
The only reason why they want resources to be limited is to put price on it and let that price grow as the ability to extract those resources becomes diminished by ignorance and overindulgence.
The basis of Economics is a fucking bullcrap. Shit is not limited. Human ignorance makes shit limited!
They have to be hooked up to natural gas or fed some other hydrocarbon in gaseous or liquid state to generate power. And unfortunately they can't store power.
rob the earth of wind?
rob the earth of tides?
limited understanding of hydrodynamics?
Very limited, indeed.
You really think the Earth will stop spinning or the moon will stop exerting gravitational pull. Put down the pipe and pick up a book.
If I'm not mistaken, this was solar power / bloom box battery.
