Stop paying attention to historians on the energy transition. They generally don’t understand anything about economies of scale, network effects, learning curves, or any other forms of increasing returns to scale. They also ignore the possibility of doing things differently. People’s choices matter! https://mstdn.social/@joevh/114004114766984097

The choice is Biden or Trump, and if you sit out or vote for a third party you’re voting for Trump. Get over yourselves, grow up, and vote for harm reduction. That’s the only choice for sane people at this juncture. PS. Vote against the GOP for every office if you want to save US democracy. https://infosec.exchange/@dangoodin/112657742879554290

Fossil gas is a climate disaster. The implied methane leakage rates from these new measurements are much higher than people have assumed in the past. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07117-5

2024-03-04 18:20:57 GMT

Bitcoin uses proof of work, which is electricity intensive. If it switched to proof of stake (like Ethereum already did), we could reduce electricity use by 99.84%, and Bitcoin advocates need to explain why we shouldn’t do that. Thus far, every time I’ve asked this question I’ve gotten back word salad that doesn’t make sense to me, but maybe someone else can figure this out.

@npub1vqm…ccpx Industries always object to transparency about behavior that affects society, because it might result in pressure to modify it. Too bad, guys, if you’re using all that electricity, people should know about it so we as a society can decide if it’s worth it. And the question everyone should be asking is “If the ethereum fork using proof of stake still has value after the fork why do we need proof of work, which is super electricity intensive?”

@npub1scr…teus Offsets are a scourge and we should stop using them. Planting trees is good, though, as long as you don’t think of them as an ALTERNATIVE to emissions reductions. Trees have lots of societal value beyond taking up CO2 and we should definitely plant more, but at the same time we ned to halt ALL deforestation on existing lands and stop messing up existing ecosystems.

2023-08-25 03:57:26 GMT

Carbon offsets are a disaster. They convey the incorrect idea that avoiding deforestation is a substitute for rapid direct emissions reductions, when in fact we need to rapidly reduce emissions AND save existing forests AND reforest denuded land. We have to do it all. | Science https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj6951
