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

You mean the house with geothermal heating?

The house with solar installed *decades* before it was cool or fashionable?

The house that he pays a *premium* on his electric bill to promote renewable sources?

He buys from renewable sources to offset the CO2 release. Something every major corporation also does.

Is it big? Sure. Even has a heated pool! He's rich as are most people in national politics.

He used *his* money and invested in making it as green as possible.

The only potential silver lining is 'politics as usual' wasn't getting even close to solving the problem in the US. Biden's efforts were welcome but looking at the scale of the problem we face, the 'Manchin problem' held far too much back.

Trump and company will make things exponentially worse.

And the masses may need that 'worse' before starting to vote in favor of real and effective solutions. Assuming Trump doesn't bumble us into WW III.

China is installing more renewable energy every year than we have ever installed.

China has installed 20-30,000 miles of true high speed rail in just the last 20 years.

Both are massive investments in a carbon free economy.

They also installed a huge amount of coal in just the last couple of years. Plants that are *already* being idled 30% of the time b/c they have enough energy. They're also the more efficient types our 'clean coal!' morons claim are totally fine.

Reality isn't all or nothing but multiple steps and *progress* towards a goal.

China is walking that walk, while the US is actively running backwards.

The North East coast will see 1-2 FEET of sea level rise if the AMOC shuts off. Why? because the 'drain' no longer drains so there's a huge pile of water that North America is rotating into.

Native American's have flood myths far starters. It's a very widespread concept.

https://mythologyworldwide.com...

Ancient flood myths are far more likely due to 2 things:

1. Floods happen everywhere
2. Baths are cleansing

Humans make up stories to explain and control societal behavior.

If someone "in Germany" has already done something you're just now doing, you are 'not' a pioneer.

It doesn't say "...a pioneer among German States".

Last I checked, Munich as in Germany so no, they aren't pioneering the use of FOSS "in Germany"
