you joke but we did exactly this with our gas service. I noticed in the summer that literally 2/3 of our bill was fees, with only a gas water heater running.

Put in a heat pump hot water heater and turned off the gas from March/April to Oct/Nov. They really aren't used to people cancelling service lol.

Yep. I play a game and ask people who their State Reps are. VAST majority of people have no idea.

You get the government competence proportional to your involvement in it.

Same with HOAs. People scream about them but literally never attend the meetings or bother to stand for election themselves.

It's a very apt 1st world analogy of 3rd world problems. It's not a 1:1 analogy.

Rural places wait decades for the 'modern world' to reach them...just like suburbia waits hours for the Cable guy.

Moving mass won't induce spin - it might cause it to readjust orientation to the earth. I'm guessing the amount you'd need to move would rival all the earth ever moved on earth if not more.

The amount of energy it would take to start the entire moon spinning is quite literally, astronomical.

Millions of people would disagree with it being dead.

LOTS of people just want a guide to know what's on what channel when.

That group will skew quite high in the age demographic though as the sub 40 crowd is far more online and finding what they want to watch outside of the platform on which they watch it.

Not my understanding. Before and after work you are no different than someone who took a wrong turn into their parking lot.

Apparently even 2 step solutions are hard for you.

1. Green the demand / EVs

2. Green the Grid and magically the transport sector gets massively greener.

Since deniers and oil companies have delayed things decades, we're going to have to do both at the same time. They knew about this in the 70s and buried the studies b/c it would hurt their profits.

Not how it works. Until you cross into their building, not on property, it's just you commuting to work on your own dime.

Trip and break your hip in the parking lot before work? Not work related. I definitely think it *should* be, but it isn't.

I'm guessing the Security Supervisor's personal banking password was 'bank'?

Storing/transporting hydrogen at scale has significant negative climate impacts. it's much harder to store and inevitably has leakage. Let alone the increased maintenance of embrittlement. There may be niche uses that outweigh it's negatives but 'at scale' it's not a viable solution.

The latest science suggests that
hydrogen emissions are 30-40 times more powerful at trapping
heat over the following 20 years than carbon dioxide for equal
mass, and 8-12 times more powerful over a 100-year period.

linky

Always have. That's generally the source of most of the modern worlds problems lol

well played, well played lol
