From TFA:
On June 28, 2021, a heatwave saw temperatures rise to over 42 degrees Celsius (108 degrees Fahrenheit) in Seattle, the hottest ever recorded in the US coastal city. On that day, Juliana Leon was found unconscious in her car and died soon after from hyperthermia â" the overheating of the body.
In her car? Of course that'll kill her. Was she not capable of opening the door and stepping out?
If she died while burning fossil fuels and the fossil fuels killed her isn't that like suicide?
And if global warming is a huge conspiracy by climate scientists, how come few of them are as rich as oil executives?
If you could predict climate with any sort of accuracy and granularity you could become very, very rich. Hell, accurately predicting the start and end of a single drought could set you up for life.
But they can't, so they aren't.
If you have a grid where long distance transmission is via HVDC, you can control the AC parts with the large inverters at either end of the link. Rather than relying on spinning generation or mass to regulate the AC, you can use the inverters to add load and to shed supply.
Flywheels (and synchronous condensers, basically spinning generators that don't actually generate, and are often old fossil plants) are both forms of artificial inertia used to control the AC waveform. You can use smart inverters (which are not capable of black start but are getting better), or you can use traditional spinning inertia, but the nature of AC grids is you need one or the other. If you allow dumb inverters you MUST have enough inertia elsewhere in the system to support them. There are no grids outside of experimental microgrids where inverters control everything. Spinning inertia is still very much how modern AC electrical grids work, and will be for the foreseeable future.
I dunno, but given generics will be available in CA and not US, that's going to be the real Canadian border "drug running" problem right there.
Compounding pharmacies can make semaglutide, so I don't think it requires highly specialized manufacture. I'm surprised there is not actually a significant black market for it already, I guess the financial incentive is not enough without the addictive properties. Also meth and fentanyl will already make you skinny.
The study of non-linear physics is like the study of non-elephant biology.
