> when you say "these people" it'd be helpful if you could more precisely charaterise the set of people to whom you're referring

the people screeching about climate change who apparently (if I give them the benefit of the doubt) haven't actually thought the consequences of various policies through

credit where it's due tho, at least you can interact with me. I hadn't actually expected you to be able to see my reply

> As for 'synthetic petroleum'... how would that possibly be useful?

the entire issue with petroleum is supposed to be the extraction of carbon from under the ground. so ... just don't do that, right? produce it via industrial process. you can use biomass or even atmospheric CO2 as the input

stop worrying about gas mileage. stop the expensive and environmentally destructive conversion to EVs. stop incentivizing throwing away perfectly good vehicles. and as far as batteries go petroleum has significantly better energy density than any of the other viable options (also quite a bit safer than lithium)

> And any new nuclear is just a bad idea for a whole lot of reasons.

such as solving the (supposed) immediate issue while failing to further the woke agenda? :smug_miku:

1. build out a majority nuclear grid

2. manufacture synthetic petroleum using nuclear power. this step contributes to solving the whole "dealing with demand spikes" thing

2a. (bonus) fixate nitrogen using nuclear power. helps with demand spikes

2b. (bonus) desalinate ocean water using nuclear power. helps with demand spikes

3. all supposed issues have now been addressed. farming is now carbon neutral. gas engines are now carbon neutral. LA and the gulf coast can now stop worrying about water security. etc etc

you can still have your EV if you want, it will be near zero carbon emission in this scenario. as opposed to right now, where EVs are often powered in significant part by fossil fuels. which is quite a bit worse in terms of both carbon release, pollution, and environmental impact due to mining than if you'd just kept using gas (but we're sAvINg tHE pLAnEt!)

> Existing nuclear was a bad idea, but the liability already exists.

modern nuclear is incredibly safe. you can easily look this stuff up

I generally find tracking down obscure bugs to be quite engaging. it's the build systems, package managers, and version control systems of the world that need to get fucked. somehow dev tooling manages to endlessly frustrate me with how it does things

instead we have things like insane farming regulations and shiny new EVs that make the car fires of old look tame

nostr:npub1g0uss0sjsgxwmhqxgnvlj0zv9ru89xwfyktkcjc0kgy8syxj79ss383vfw this guy makes the Ms. Piggy seasoning from scratch by following the listed recipe. Then he advises you to NOT do that and buy the seasoning instead, because the cardamom is quite expensive by weight. Which makes me wonder what the fuck they're putting in the seasoning you can buy instead

I don't actually know if sjw bothers with it or not. defense in depth and all that but at the same time I already avoid public posting anything I wouldn't want public because anyone who is determined will manage to dig it up somewhere. I don't even trust DMs because databases inevitably leak. matrix or similar for anything that matters
