To be fair you could achieve their goals but only if you adopted such a strict government procedure that it would basically be similar to that of the Soviet Union

2019-10-10 19:30:45 UTC  

When we currently consume about 40Gw

2019-10-10 19:30:55 UTC  

Well they -are- far left, lizard

2019-10-10 19:31:02 UTC  

Some of them

2019-10-10 19:31:10 UTC  

The ones at the top

2019-10-10 19:31:19 UTC  

and that 40Gw is only if half of the car owning household switched to electric

2019-10-10 19:31:21 UTC  

I am sure that some people who are rioting have just bought into the fearmongering

2019-10-10 19:31:43 UTC  

Based on 7.7Kw consumption upon arrival at home after a day's work

2019-10-10 19:32:25 UTC  

I don't know why they feel the need to protest here though

2019-10-10 19:32:35 UTC  

narcissm

2019-10-10 19:32:40 UTC  

I mean our carbon emissions are steadily going down

2019-10-10 19:32:53 UTC  

If they really want to reduce it they should be doing this in India or China

2019-10-10 19:33:23 UTC  

if you were to assess the mental health of climate extinction protestors you would find a much higher incidence of personality and behavioural disorders than in the wider population

2019-10-10 19:41:46 UTC  

they can get the 40Gw from the 37 new windfarms Corbyn is going to build

2019-10-10 19:50:56 UTC  

Brb just gonna build 5-10k more turbines

2019-10-10 19:50:59 UTC  

<:Kapp:426321779221463051>

2019-10-10 19:51:36 UTC  

Well more due to wind not being totally reliable

2019-10-10 19:51:53 UTC  

but I wanted to use the biggest turbines on the newest farm and best efficiency

2019-10-10 19:51:56 UTC  

Make them feel better

2019-10-10 19:52:41 UTC  

Or we could build 10x of the highest capacity nuclear plants in the USA

2019-10-10 19:53:18 UTC  

I always find the ignorance to reality of EV nuts hilarious

2019-10-10 19:53:39 UTC  

Even though i would personally have a tesla, shit is fast and cheap to run.

2019-10-10 19:53:47 UTC  

Just isnt practical for mass replacement yet

2019-10-10 19:53:48 UTC  

at all

2019-10-10 19:54:08 UTC  

They currently produce 20gw capacity from wind, with 10k turbines

2019-10-10 19:54:27 UTC  

but you need way more than that just for the cars, and you need baseline which wind and solar cannot provide

2019-10-10 19:54:29 UTC  

Newest offshore has 8MW turbines

2019-10-10 19:54:35 UTC  

So I was using that

2019-10-10 19:55:20 UTC  

they ought to use waste-to-energy for part of the distributed baseline

2019-10-10 19:55:32 UTC  

That 40GW figure was also only half of the ICE car owning households too

2019-10-10 19:55:55 UTC  

well it's going to take more than 6 years

2019-10-10 19:55:59 UTC  

and also using only current home charging power draw

2019-10-10 19:56:09 UTC  

So that number is VERY conservative

2019-10-10 19:56:42 UTC  

until these cultists come back with costed, realistic plans, i'm just not going to take them seriously

2019-10-10 19:56:45 UTC  

This doesnt include charging infrastructure

2019-10-10 19:56:51 UTC  

In place of petrol stations

2019-10-10 19:57:07 UTC  

and remember there need to be MANY MANY more than petrol pumps

2019-10-10 19:57:15 UTC  

Due to it being more than a 2 minute affair

2019-10-10 19:57:31 UTC  

if you plan to support a public charging infrastructure

2019-10-10 20:01:05 UTC  

You don't exactly need to be an electrical engineer to figure out it's not really practically possible with current technology
