To add, the government wanting to do this mere weeks after basically saying they want to backdoor encrypted messaging services, makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. The reality being that they are almost certainly not connected, but you still can’t help but have that niggling feeling at the back of your mind.
I don’t disagree that it’s rather silly, still we are making good headway with wind being as much as 70% of our power generation some days.
I just find it frustrating that we as a country who are likely about to kick out the Tories (who have been in power for the last 12 years) are going to still be holding their legacy of anti environmentalism (I think the Tories were actually pushing back net zero til 2050)
The reality being that Labour will likely do more to meet (and hopefully improve) our goals in the coming years. Labour also being the ones who are discussing closer ties with the EU again, though they are having to tread carefully as outright saying we’re going to rejoin the EU would be considered political suicide.
Basically everyone is sick of the Tories, but still much of our population has had it ingrained into them that “it’d be worse of Corbin had gotten in”.
It’s a complicated issue, but the reality is the UK being able to be held to account by the EU will do more for our environmental policies then being left on the outside, having to source our goods from much further away, and at a lower cost (which often has a higher environmental cost).
Which stance is that, if you don’t mind my asking?
I spoke to a partner of a friend whose working on hydrogen cells and “low temp” (600c, though earlier versions were 800-1000c) cerium or Cesium yttrium catalyst electrolysers. The point of the electrolysis pathway is that you’re able to use excess energy from green sources (solar/hydro/nuclear) that we currently don’t have the infrastructure to store, to produce hydrogen for use in hydrogen cells or to be used as an alternative to fossil fuel derived hydrogen in metallurgical processes (steel making etc)
I mean those statements seem like they’re in contradiction of each other; if attention spans are lower (which I don’t disagree with) then people are more likely to debate/discuss a wider range of topics though perhaps in less detail.
This doesn’t necessarily mean collectively people will be able to hold onto these points to bring about effective change, though it doesn’t preclude it either.
Grossly gilded gorilla grapple?
I believe terraria has migrated to wiki.gg
Honestly even calling it CrackedPipe would be better than straight up crackpipe, lmao
I’m envisioning the possible reverse scenario where you get someone wanting some crack and won’t take “Uhhh, I was just talking about a video game thing” as an answer
Then again Gimp is incredibly popular…
I believe Australia has mandatory voting and achieves a ~95% participation of registered voters basically every election, though they do enforce it with either a day in court or a fine.
I do wonder if you fined people, or wasted a day of theirs with court, whether it would have an impact in Greece after a couple of elections?
