They bided their time, and knew about the (mandated) EV transition years ago.

That was always how it was going to work! I don't know how anyone believed that the "legacy" automotive manufacturers, with their fingers on the pulse of upcoming transportation re…

That website is truly awful. Maybe it's personal, but I hate the "scroll to be shown a narrative" style of website design.

> you mean you want an easy way to sort and aggregate the information in order to dispute this. For a start, I need the list to include the country of origin of each person. >he bu…

>Hurun reports are widely cited with few (if any) questions on its accuracy. I could make the same statements about Forbes and Knight Frank, so that doesn't help explain the 3x dis…

Shame Hurun doesn't publish its source data, or a list of those people.

I've just re-created your "PID" controller, and was completely underwhelmed with the response. I just don't find it amazing that something using that much compute power can generat…

That's the very definition of cherry picking. Try this dataset instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of...

Ah, the mythical "super-rich" who could fund all of our solutions, if only we could prise their money out of their clutching hands! It's funny how they always exist, even in countr…

The Climate Catastrophe doesn't care about what certain groups of people find "sensible".

Ignoring the fact that there are no renewable energy-powered EV factories, there are also plenty of industrial processes that inherently emit CO2. Steel manufacture first comes to …

>But not constantly grabbing for a phone and staring at a screen... priceless. And once the spell is broken, you find yourself staring at people stumbling around, tied to their tin…

>An electric car produces no CO2 over its lifetime. It just appears, fully-made and with no CO2 spent on its manufacture?

Do you know how much CO2 an electric car produces over its lifetime?? We'll never hit our -80% reduction that we need!

We're talking about the cost of power. Putting aside the unbelievable idea that Alberta has as much mid-winter solar energy available as at the equator, using solar to heat my hous…

>You claimed solar has too low EROI to be viable. Nope, I said that it's lower than other sources of power, and thus an energy economy based on solar will look very different than …

>Converting heat to electricity is expensive. And? Most of our power usage is not supplied through electricity. Solar panels are never going to heat my house.

Maybe - with government grants, and coal-powered manufacture of all of the associated generation equipment. That's not very interesting though - what is interesting, which has been…

>A new panasonic or jinko mono panel installed in india has epbt under 6 months and an eroi around 100. I certainly haven't made any claims as specific as this without any backup!

>the EROI of solar surpassed that of nuclear Where do you get your numbers from? >it would pay back that power in under two years. That's exactly the problem. This is a significant…

The reason we can ignore the huge manufacturing energy inputs required to make solar panels, is because it's powered by cheap domestic coal in China. >driving operating coal plants…

You miss my point. The reason solar is so cheap right now (along with the huge amount of government subsidies) is that the huge amount of energy required to manufacture them is cur…
