but it is "better for the planet?"
In my opinion, yes.
i realize a hyper simplistic question
Regardless of what you think about global warming, we can't use fossil fuel forever anyway. Eventually the price will rise as we run out of accessible reserves.
This technology could represent a smooth ramp onto a different fuel source.
whoa whoa whoa
I think you mean cLiMaTe ChAnGe
XD
Sorry, I don't speak eco-commie
(Actually I'm fluent in it, I just choose not to)
gotta be nowadays
I used to be one.
👀
and then ypu got redpilled?
proverbially of course
Yeah I realized I was in a cult
so you red-pilled yourself? that takes a kind of self-awareness and humility that is rare nowadays
It was a slow process
The Trump election was a sort of psychological crisis moment for me where a whole bunch of stuff started coming together that had been bothering me
I had also recently become a parent, I was getting started in small business, just a general growing up process
A whole bunch of life-changing stuff happened to me over the course of a couple of years that forced me to reevaluate my viewpoint
Then Trump got elected, which I was totally convinced was not going to happen and I really realized consciously, once I got over the shock, that I didn't understand what was actually going on.
That I'd been in a bubble and needed to find a broader perspective. Which I've been working on since.
well you are a rare bird for self analyzing and reflecting
I try, I guess
I think it's possible for more people to do it, they just need a particular set of circumstances
from each according to his circumstances
I was born with an analytical mind and a high IQ, I don't feel I deserve any credit for that.
Well like, this ties into my issue with twitter
Back in the day, when I "redpilled" myself, information was gathered and distributed across a sort of forum archipelago
I miss forum culture so bad.
You would hop between communities without being visible to the community you used to exist in
Social media is like the forum's retarded stepchild
So I went onto a freethinker, primarily ancap/minarchist forum, and all of my arguments got strengthened or (more often) destroyed
So I rebuilt from scratch
i assume Discord is half forum and half social media
Have you ever heard of this source?
Lazard for energy cost comparisons?
They pretty much report that solar and wind (utility scale) are basically cheaper than everything but gas.
