I mean like the Germans, like bloody idiots, invested billions in solar. It did jack shit because they are a temperate clime with lots of cloud cover and hills. The Serengeti? The Plateaus? You will get your maximum KwH per area places like that.

This site is great. Thanks to whomever it was above that posted an article.

2019-09-24 00:45:29 UTC  

She got better

2019-09-24 00:53:49 UTC  

Did she though?

2019-09-24 00:55:44 UTC  

Silly Germans, that solar will be useless when your Furher gets back from the moon and blots out the sun

2019-09-24 00:57:40 UTC  

They *literally* stuck it where the sun don't shine....

2019-09-24 01:02:35 UTC  

should have gone wind, would work nice with their VX

2019-09-24 01:11:26 UTC  

They did. With no significant impact on fossil fuel usage....

I thought I once heard Germany's focusing on figuring out how fusion works. but that was years ago

2019-09-24 01:12:54 UTC  

funding may have been cut to support more 'new germans'

2019-09-24 01:13:33 UTC  

Well from the chart you can see that there has been an increase in nuclear *production* but that has been increased capacity rather than displacement of petroleum.

2019-09-24 01:14:43 UTC  

And there has been a decrease in net carbon output but again that's mostly due to NatGas and two cycle turbines.

2019-09-24 01:42:27 UTC  

the fuck is lignite

2019-09-24 01:49:38 UTC  

A form of coal

2019-09-24 02:03:26 UTC  

So hard coal is gone

2019-09-24 02:04:07 UTC  

I think the difference is mine comes from a site that tracks global energy production. And yours comes from an advocacy site that promotes 'journalism for the great energy transition'....

2019-09-24 02:04:32 UTC  

But hard coal isn't as plentiful anyways

2019-09-24 02:05:04 UTC  

The US keeps strategic reserves unmined

2019-09-24 02:05:09 UTC  

At a glance I would say they were using the capacity numbers for German solar. The capacity is great. If the sun shines on the panels. Which most of the time it does not.

2019-09-24 02:06:14 UTC  

if we could find a way to harness directionless kinetic energy, we could energize tectonically unstable regions

2019-09-24 02:06:42 UTC  

Or gravity weapons

2019-09-24 02:07:15 UTC  

You use gravity to accelerate dense material into megaton bombs

2019-09-24 02:07:33 UTC  

I meant harnessing incoming kinetic energy, not projecting it or, in fact, bending physical gravitons, which is not really anywhere near the field

2019-09-24 02:08:09 UTC  

we may have to wait till after quantum computing for that

2019-09-24 02:08:25 UTC  

Someday then

2019-09-24 02:08:54 UTC  

though speaking of density, that's a great way to utilize all this coal we want to phase out

2019-09-24 02:09:25 UTC  

develop a way to compress them into diamonds on a conventional/civilian timeframe

2019-09-24 02:09:46 UTC  

add a spritz of some other element to color it

2019-09-24 02:09:50 UTC  

You could make shitty coal into diesel fuel

2019-09-24 02:10:42 UTC  

imagine making actual infinity stones from chemically colored OG diamonds

2019-09-24 02:10:49 UTC  

Lol

2019-09-24 02:11:54 UTC  

maybe add sodalite to the carbon mix and make UV reactive diamonds

2019-09-24 02:12:15 UTC  

bitches think diamonds are shiny *now*

2019-09-24 02:12:30 UTC  

Making coal into LP is something they are already doing in China.


Spoiler; the process is dirty as fuck.

2019-09-24 02:12:49 UTC  

yeah lets not

2019-09-24 02:13:37 UTC  

if it needs to be practical, maybe we look into exactly how many fractal layers of carbon we can squeeze into a single plate for durability

2019-09-24 04:18:06 UTC  

further proof that communists are fucking retarded

2019-09-24 04:21:44 UTC  

sounds like layers of irony to me
