Half life of centuries, fuck tritium

2017-12-23 02:18:42 UTC

@Deleted User grinding up beetles or the wood

2017-12-23 02:19:17 UTC  

The wood

2017-12-23 02:19:36 UTC  

apparently Colorado wanted to see if it was feasible to use dead wood to generate energy

2017-12-23 02:19:47 UTC  

>deadwood

2017-12-23 02:19:48 UTC  

i was working on that shit

2017-12-23 02:19:56 UTC  

Im guessing this was a government program

2017-12-23 02:19:57 UTC  

isnt the math on teh cost to generate the deadwood super inefficent

2017-12-23 02:20:09 UTC  

the thing is that since carbon sequestration is not really understood

2017-12-23 02:20:44 UTC  

so at the end the study did found that while it might be beneficial to the rockies to get rid of dead trees to avoid wildfires

2017-12-23 02:21:04 UTC  

the benefits of using the wood as energy was at most ehhhh

2017-12-23 02:21:24 UTC  

Oh you mean pine borers

2017-12-23 02:21:33 UTC  

yep

2017-12-23 02:21:37 UTC  

Yeah that shit is turning canada into a tinderbox

2017-12-23 02:21:52 UTC  

Didnt know it was a problem that bad in the US

2017-12-23 02:22:06 UTC  

Well in a way climate change is really fucking the rockies

2017-12-23 02:22:23 UTC  

as the warmer weather makes the beetles to go all out in reproducing

2017-12-23 02:22:36 UTC  

TBH id rather have forest fires as a problem then not have forests at all

2017-12-23 02:22:47 UTC  

so you get a infestation to the point that it is causing massive wildfires

2017-12-23 02:22:51 UTC  

2 years ago a shitload of land near my house birned down

2017-12-23 02:23:05 UTC  

damn

2017-12-23 02:23:06 UTC  

So they decided to not solve wild fires because it wouldn't balence carbon wise?

2017-12-23 02:24:06 UTC  

In a way it was to decide whenever avoiding the wildfires was also worth using the wood as fuel

2017-12-23 02:24:11 UTC  

the thing is

2017-12-23 02:24:20 UTC  

wood is less efficient that carbon

2017-12-23 02:24:35 UTC  

carbon atm is 35-40% efficient

2017-12-23 02:24:39 UTC  

wood like 25%

2017-12-23 02:25:55 UTC  

and also the carbon sequestration, which is basically the carbon in the dead trees, would actually be counter to the point of not polluting the atmosphere with CO2 since this carbon will be liberated again to the atmosphere

2017-12-23 02:26:00 UTC  

its quite a mess

2017-12-23 02:26:13 UTC  

some ppl where doing mathematical models of the carbon sequestration as part of their PhD's

2017-12-23 02:27:15 UTC  

However, using the trees did polluted less than using carbon overall, so there is that

2017-12-23 02:27:36 UTC  

the carbon sequestration, as i was reading, could be countered with new trees so there was that

2017-12-23 02:28:45 UTC  

However it all comes down if its cheaper (a) massive wildfires or (b) doing a massive reforestation of the rockies, which incluides removing all the dead shit

2017-12-23 02:28:56 UTC  

Can't stop that shit regardless so stop the whole billons of damage then.

2017-12-23 02:30:55 UTC  

True

this week is a good week to be me

2017-12-23 02:33:58 UTC  

sounds comfy

2017-12-23 02:34:00 UTC  

They're fattening you up to eat you
