Policy and solutions / Re: Renewable Energy
« on: November 29, 2020, 09:11:32 PM »
People seem to think that exponential growth of wind and solar indicate a coming change in global energy consumption. Y'all are incorrect.
Unfortunately, renewables are just a tiny derivative of an enormous fossil fuel driven industrial global economy. Never has renewable growth supplanted fossil fuel growth. Reality shows that at least ten fossil fuel units of energy need to be added to see a single renewable unit added.
Countries can try domestic policies to pretend to be moving away from fossil fuels, but they are honestly just outsourcing the burning. The atmosphere is global. Emissions matter globally. From this perspective, there is no good news.

There was once vast swaths of the arctic (particularly next near the CAA) which were many many meters thick. The is over. Done. The end. El fin. Das ende.
The region between greenland and the north pole has been obliterated this year. The pseudo remnant of pseudo thick ice remain...but in general it is just slush.
The change in two decades in astonishing. The fact that the rate of change is increasing and will continue to...IS MIND MELTING. Most ppl just shut it out. Even the ppl who are reasonably aware.

The DMI is not going to drop much for the next week. It may tick up a little.
The DMI graph is disparaged for good reason, but it is also sighted for good reason. Although the graph is abnormally fixated on a tiny region, it embodies the essence of why the arctic sea ice matters...IT CAPS THE WARMING THAT CAN OCCUR IN THE NORTH HEMI!
So while things like the visuals from A-Team are praised (and my dear lord, do they deserve it!), the DMI graph is the opposite end of the spectrum. Both are relevant. One is specific, detailed, and fascinating. The other bland, basic, and incredibly symbolic/indicative.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2020 arctic/ice situation is the worst ever. By enough margin that it SHOULD be obvious.
It is odd to me that the discussion tends to be fixed on this year relative to previous years. "The Race for the Smallest Minimum" is a distraction.
How about the melt thread focus on the current melt season as it exists as a bridge between the past and the future. Some balance maybe?

« on: July 17, 2020, 08:56:50 PM »
Wind farms can't make wind farms. A drilled oil field can provide enough energy to drill a new field (or make a wind farm). Basically the energy comes from fossil fuels originally. If the energy is used to build a solar panel rather than spin a turbine, maybe it is more efficient, but the foundation is always fossil fuel energy.
Industry relies are fossil fuels. Manufacturing, mining, and practically everything else can't be run on wind or solar. These renewables are great at providing addition electricity to a grid that has a base load maintained on fossil fuels. This is the lowest of the low hanging fruit. And we are barely succeeding at that.
The transition will always seem to be at hand in the next decade or two. But it will never happen (until society collapses). It is impossible.

TSLA is "worth" $750,000 per car sold last year. Those cars sold for $60,000 (and Tesla LOST $6,000 per car). Nice.
Elon is probably just buying $2500 TSLA options for pennies per contract that add up to a huge portion of the shares outstanding. This moves the SP way up. Legit.

« on: July 11, 2020, 01:29:29 AM »Their demand is strong...
Basic economics disagrees. The price-demand equation isn't just a silly idea. It's a simple concept that illuminates a great deal. Alas, you're in the dark.
Let's face facts, Tesla is in a period of exponential growth in a 3 year cycle...
Neil doesn't know what a fact is. Tough concept to be fair. (From the scientific literature I have read, children usually pick up the ability to discern fact from opinion around age 10.)
The potential of FSD, insurance, Semi, Cybertruck and energy is going to continue to drive higher valuations.
That may be true, sorta. The perceived potential may drive the SP up. But the products themselves aren't real...
-FSD has been a few months away for a few years.
-The Semi has been "spotted making deliveries" for years.
-The Cybertruck is an absurdity and quite naturally there is no working model or factory approved to make it (just like the Semi and Roadster).
-Insurance. Lol. Insurance. Tesla is such a joke the board of directors can't even get insured as directors. So Elon is "insuring them". But sure, they'll start their own insurance company. Like the boring company it will be 10x better than the industry standard. Why? Cuz Elon is a genius man! Hyperloop through the tunnel in your Tesla on your way to Mars!!!!!!
-Energy is the fakest of all. I guess the batteries panasonic make work, but as far as energy generation Tesla is a nothing. They don't even manufacture there own solar panels in their fake Giga in NY. They just ship them in from China. And they can't install them for shit. Tesla is rated as THE WORST solar company BY FAR. Which explains why they do a tiny fraction of the business they did when Tesla bought Solar City (in a clear and obvious case of fraud).
All that being said: the SP will probably keep going up. TSLA = $10,000 in 2021? Sure. The problem is that a hamburger is going to cost $1000 in 2025. Capitalism has been ruined. The fed buys Junk Bonds (like Tesla's) providing them with capital. It is ridiculous. When companies that lose money and destroy value are given more capital, rather than cut off from it, a society is doomed.

ALL transportation is responsible for like 30% of emissions. Passenger cars are only a fraction of that and are the low hanging fruit. And EVs don't reduce emissions down towards zero. (Especially not a Tesla.) A cheap and long last EV will be a big deal, when one is made.

Energy is not all the same
You can not directly compare the energy in a liter of oil or kilo of coal to the energy from a solar panel .
1 kilogram of coal 8,1 kwh efficiency of electrical generation using coal about 45%.
1 litre of petrol 9,1 kwh usefull work if used in transport about 20%.
One kwh of solar or wind energy will give you from 70% of actual work in transport to near 100% for other uses.
We do not need to produce as much renewable energy to replace inefficient fossil fuels as just looking at raw energy consumption numbers suggests .
Some of what you are saying is true, but in general you have it backwards. At least as far as reality is concerned (vs theoretical).
Solar and Wind energy is drastically more often wasted vs fossil fuel energy. Also, the solar and wind are only functional as surplus/"luxury"/additional electricity generation building on top of a base/foundational electricity generation from fossil fuels (or hydro or nuclear). It's just the way the infrastructure works.
