    You need to talk with Wilbur. The one charging we're somehow restraining technology advancement as it pertains to energy production

    Sure.

    AGREE. Trains move shit around the country a lot more efficiently than semis or airplanes. They are second only to container ships in amount of fuel used to move a ton of freight.

    The 8 year carbon debt is a black eye. The key assumption is that the factories producing the batteries get about half their electricity from fossil fuel. Still has the potential to be greener than than standard ICE if production process gets more efficient or generation fuel mix changes. Solar panels had a 20 year carbon debt when they first came out but now it is closer to 2 years because the process and panels themselves have gotten more efficient. But yeah fuck technological advancement.


    Tesla is powering the battery plant with a 70 MW solar farm.
    The assumption is bullshit.

    BTW, Tesla is up 53% since Doogie's call for their solvency.

    My favorite snowflake irony of all time is the hatred of the little black rock. As a "luke warmer" who believes we need to be building more nuclear and phasing out the stuff out of our economy, I would argue that nothing else in human history did more to raise standards of living than coal.

    Fossil Fuels were absolutely necessary and probably still aren't completely past their time. But, we can/will/must advance to cleaner and more efficient forms, just like any other tech. Triggering over advancing energy tech is just as FS as triggering over coal.
    Agree. I just like to show the black cock a little respect for what it did for mankind.

    How about the solar panels? They weren't made and delivered by unicorns riding on a rainbow

    There's that scale issue again too
