WTF is Climate Change?

  • "Heats woodchips". Lol

    Yeah, wood burning furnace to produce energy. There's a fucking solution.

    And the weak minded show their true colors.

    Don't understand the biomass process at all.

    Don't seem to want to.

    Lightweights.
    I understand biomass fine. I know that there is a fuel that needs to be grown, which takes energy, removes carbon removing plants from the environment, takes land away from food prduction to be used for fuel production, and yet "heating" the woodchips takes energy and produces pollution.

    Yet compared to No. 6 oil it has reduced fossil fuel emissions by 60% and the impact on the environment has been negligible

    What you don't seem to understand or want to understand is the unintended consequences of what you preach. Economic and environmental. You seem content to sit in you first world bubble and really don't seem to care about the real and immediate impacts on those who are at the bottom of the economic chain. But that's what I would expect from a young college student who is still in his indoctrination phase.

    The economic and environmental consequences of continuing to rely on carbon based fuels is far greater than any move towards renewables would be. Hth.

    When yo drive to the slopes make sure to fill your car with potential energy. I clearly allowed that when potential energy is real energy we'll have it. You act like no one is working on alternatives. And you act like your side isn't trying to make what we have more expensive when they clearly are. Carbon taxes and the like don't reduce the cost. Do you really think energy producers are going to just run out of energy and go out of business?

    The point about your little local wood burner versus global demand was made clear by Damone. If it doesn't scale global it doesn't work. If it costs more energy and warming to produce it isn't viable. That's why we don't have it

    It makes you feel good about yourself, that's about it. That's the conceit of youth. We've been there, we just grew up. Someday you will too

    This is now the 24th time. You really should stop.

    It depends how you get there.

    We won't be running out of oil or gas in your lifetime, or your grandkids lifetime...and by then the market and technology will get the cost of other sources or energy down to a point that they are viable. Again, you're sitting in a first world socialist bubble. The market will always adapt and inexpensive energy will always be developed. There are those that will profit greatly from getting the taxpayers to buy into and finance their fantasy. If the government gets out of the way, we will get to where you envision, and it won't bankrupt us.

    HTH

    That's because it's not being done on any meaningful scale. It's much less efficient that oil or gas. Ever heard of black carbon? DO you realize how much carbon would be released if biomass was a widespread use of energy? In the meantime, the government will pump billions into it and those who are well connected will get rich. All for nothing.

    Great soundbite

    Damone wins the thread overwhelmingly

    As an impartial observer I'll award CollegeDoog the victory.

    I already know who's going to win. LIFPO
