Energy industries are always jerking our leash. That's another tactic. Completely artificial.
Hahaha call elon
honest question zulu- what are our viable alternatives to fossil fuels, in your opinion
Wind, water, nuclear...and the next thing, if we can stop the war on science.
That doesn't mean no fossil fuels. It just means they will last longer.
i can get behind water and nuclear. i dont like wind. and have a problem with solar field arrays.
It's not an either-or scenario. That's the story that's being peddled and it's bullshit.
I forgot to type solar. Solar is good.
We will never be able to use renewables until we have a good way to store it
Battery tech
i was headed to a show in georgia, and saw my first large scale solar project in person. i was disgusted.
That doesn't mean we can't use it. Plus that's not entirely true.
We need to get out of here. They're posting election stuff.
general chat?
The problem is that a home's demand for electricity does not necessarily occur at the same time that the sun is out. Homes, of course, need power at night and on cloudy days. Solar systems feed excess power back into the electric grid, which allows homes to draw from the grid when the sun isn't shining, but that still entails a reliance on fossil fuels. (One way to mitigate that would be for governments to build significantly more nuclear power stations, but they have been increasingly reluctant to do so in the wake of the nuclear accident in Fukushima.)
The ideal solution is a big battery that can store at least a day's worth of electricity, if not more for the winter months in colder climates. Such batteries already exist. For example, Tesla uses 60 kWh and 85 kWh batteries in its cars, enough for up to 300 miles of driving, and two to three days of power for an average U.S. household.
The trouble is that each kW of storage carries a whopping price tag of $600 for consumers. Adding a 60 kWh battery to a household solar system would tack on $36,000 to the total cost, lifting the price of 20 years of solar power to at least $47,000. That's way too much — especially considering that the battery could need to be replaced long before a solar panel's 20-year lifespan is up.
Yes, that doesn't render it useless. It's not either-or. It's an amalgamation.
Trump will win
Lol there done
The software glitch that swaped votes was an operation
Doubt it. Any source on that
Glitch will just be a mechanical failure and no one will be blamed for it without proving intent
@leftingfighter33 i wish that were true. But dont see any evidence
> @leftingfighter33 i wish that were true. But dont see any evidence
@Elias Diaz evidence for it being an operation? Or for it happening
I don't see any evidence that it was planned or intentional. We have just heard about one glitch that happened.

@Elias Diaz I think it was very much intentional. You don't write a bug into your software tha randomly swaps votes.
It isn't just "one glitch", the executable for the software comes from the source code. All executables that are the same version were compiled down to binary from the same source code and have the same glitch.
This is literally one of the simplest pieces of software to write and you're going to tell me some dumb dev just swaped two arrays by mistake? No that doesn't happen.
If the same software was used in multiple places then they should do a re-count by hand in all of the places.
I work in a very sensitive field and if a mistake like this happened somebody is getting fired and heads are rolling, we would have to report it to the FDA and there would be accountability. An entire investigation would be open and a root cause analysis would be done.
A CAPA would be open detailing the corrective action that was taken and everything would be recorded. If the medical field can do this why the hell are our elections a free for all? When they are just as important?
Zero accountaility
@leftingfighter33 i wish that were true. And maybe after additional investigation it is determined that something like what you described is true.
But I believe they mentioned that the glitch was actually a clerical error
But maybe im wrong? I just want them to do an investigation and confirm that there isnt any funny business going on and i can have a little (only a little) faith in the system
from what I read it was just the live vote counting software
not official vote counts
`unofficial results`
Short version, just specific anomalous data
