Comment Nope, But Blind Faith EV'ers Don't Want To Get It (Score 1) 522

Only 10% of the world's population live in areas with infrastructure that can support EVs. The rest live in areas that have daily or weekly blackouts. It's not about the efficiency of storing the energy, it's about getting it to the cars to store. Most of the world will take decades to build out a grid that can support EVs for their countries. H2 can be trucked around and distributed the same way those countries currently distribute petrol. The H2 generating facilities can be built at central power stations without the need for building out a new grid just about everywhere. EV proponents who hold up H2 adoption will kill the planet. And yes, green and white H2 will be there.

Water and sanitation are required. With populations like in NC, that means at scale. And that requires more than a couple of solar panels big enough to power a couple of lights and charge your phone. You need to get out of your one man is an island mentality. Their are whole communities, towns, and cities that need more than the third world solution you keep yammering on about. But maybe where you come from, poor sanitation and the diseases it causes are normal so you don't know any better.

And what was the population density in your freezing climate place? Did you have whole towns and tens of thousands requiring proper sanitation in warm, even hot hot weather where microbes readily breed? Or was it just you or maybe a few dozen people with maybe 5 or 10 people per square kilometer who could shit in a hole in the ground and then it froze? Tell us something with parity and you will have some credibility. But right now you sound like a deluded wanker trying to cherry pick some edge case that won't work at scale.

Comment I've Always Maintained Separating Plastics is Bad (Score 1) 68

I've always thought and said to friends that nature, especially bacteria, is really good at figuring out how to adapt. I think separating plastics out of organic garbage is the worst way to solve the problem. If we keep it mixed in with organic matter and the bacteria that it's full of, I've always thought that the speed and way bacteria evolves, something would eventually start eating all the plastic. And providing a fertile environment around the plastic is the only way that could happen, rather than putting it in a sterile environment. And now, how about that, scientists are saying they're finding bacteria that likes to east plastic.

Comment Are you feeling OK? (Score 1) 65

You sound like the kind of guy who could end up suffering from neurosyphilis related psychosis and paranoia so bad you could actually buy into retarded conspiracy theories, just from being too stupid to get treated with approved drugs and medicine. Hey, wait a minute, are you actually ... ?
