Yea that was also a mob and wrong.

And you just proved that you have no understanding of this issue.
Do you have any idea how much oil is used for electrical generation in the US?
Less than 2% of all electrical power comes from Oil. Far less than wind or solar. It is only used really in remote locations like Hawaii where gas and coal are not practical.
Two PHDs after trying to make it for 4 years.....
Yea chew on that.
It is not just two "Google Engineers" saying so.
You would not.
You would replace the coal plants with nuclear and keep natural gas. Oil in the US is only used isolated locations where coal and gas are not good options like Hawaii.
You would keep the Hydro and gas for now and keep wind and some solar where it makes sense.
You mean you do not want to drive a rolling green house where half the energy is used to cool the thing to keep you from cooking?
The problem I have is the "resources will decrease" part of it. Iron/steel, aluminum, and glass are just about infinitely recyclable. Power if the Lockheed High beta, the Polywell and or Thorium molten salt reactors go into production will also be even more available than now. Frankly it is just as likely we will live in a world with greater abundance than today.
Funny but if I spend a lot of time on something and want money for that work it is not ethical for you to give back by indulging in your hobby.
The solution is simple. Stop going to ad supported websites.
The problem is the lack of leaders. Today all we have are activists that make a living by not fixing problems but by making them worse.
Angry mob that does not have all the evidence vs a grand jury that does have the evidence.
The grand jury could be wrong but the mob is without a doubt wrong.
AKA this is a lynch mob that the KKK would be proud of.
Rule of law is imperfect but it is much better than the rule of the mob.
Simple you where not on the Jury so you only have the evidence the media you pick gives you.
1. Brown was high.
2. He had just robbed a store and physically attacked the owner of the store.
3. The officer had injuries.
4. The shots where fired at close range. AKA the evidence did not match the witnesses.
5. Eyewitnesses are not reliable.
The real issue is we do not want trial by public opinion. That is called a lynch mob. MLK never set anything on fire or looted.
My complaint is that no one seems to read anymore.
As I said over all I think this is a good idea.
You sir are seeking offense when none was intended or given.
Or in a sub in the UK or France maybe.
Who cares?
Funny but every source I have found shows it peaking in the afternoon and and evening. Do you have any source for you statment?

So solar can replace 20%. That is fine but you still have the other 80%. The issue was never "we should not use any renewables" but that solar is really only good as a supplement and still must be backed with peaking plants and can not replace baseload.
Wind is better based on location and with backing peaking plants it can even be used for some of baseload.
"But if you insist on going there, allow me to remind you that my actions of not watching an ad are perfectly legal (and explicitly stated so in law),"
Irrelevant since we are not talking about what is legal.
" the same way as you using an ad network doesn't make you a script kiddie hacker trying to infect millions of peoples computers with malware viruses and keyloggers deserving of imprisonment."
An occasional ad has done that but it is like saying Ford is murder because some drove to someones home and shot them using a Ford car. The people that make those ads should be arrested and tried.
But you are still a freeloader because you take content that people work to create and give them nothing for their work.
It is not illegal to be a freeloader it just means that you take without giving back. I also block ads at times so on those site I am a freeloader at those times but I atleast give them a chance now and then to win me turning off adblocker by not using video or animated ads.
