Gotta fix Sulfur Hexaflouride first

They kill millions of bats

100's of millions if you count the US and Europe

Wow

Which isn't a big deal but bats don't reproduce quickly

So for migrating bats it's driving them to be endangered.

It would be a big deal if we went all solar and wind

With all the other pressure bats contend with it's just too much.

In the near term the biggest reduction in CO2 will come from fracking.

Nat gas does burn relatively clean

The problem is most releases are from pipelines which was like 30% a few years ago

Just fucking seal the pipelines jesus

Technology will fix that

why does literally everything go wrong with fucking pipelines

30% of profit loss wont stick around long

Well its not literally everything

That's changed. When the oil prices dropped they piped in a lot more because even the shit transfer rates were needed to make a profit. Since then we've put several LNG terminals online (they take a while to build). So Bakken and much of Permian are piped now. Not sure about Eagleford.

*practically

Not really

It just looks that way

Because when shit goes down

It goes DOWN

Less than nuclear but so than solar or wind

Im a fan of geothermal personally

geothermal seems good, just abolutely context reliant

can't exactly migrate a volcanic vent

I suppose you might think that

But seldom are volcanic vents used

or whatever the fucking terminology is

point is its a permenantly fixed point of energy

There is a lot of stable heat esp where there is tremendous pressure on water pockets

Typically they are on accessible enough places

bit more than spots for hydro-electric facilities

Hydro electric isnt the most efficient and can harm ecosystems

Depending on placement

dumb idea: harness hurricanes and tropical storms for wind and hydro power

Geothermal has zero impact long term

Which is funny

Cuz when my grandad did Coso

He had to fight Cali tooth and nail

Goes to show how ignorant the powers that be are in CA
