Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I’m happy to do so if ladybutterfly agrees

I agree it’s not optimal, but I fail to see how it’s a ‘backfire’. Would it be preferable to be dumping it all in landfills?

Meanwhile, Toyota coming in with ‘affordable’ entry level models at $35k

You’re gonna have to tick a checkbox. The pain

Pretty much the opposite actually. Trump’s in power, why would his supporters fear being vocal right now

It does sound like it could be more efficient, but that applies to a lot of things in our production and logistic chains.

My apologies, I didn’t realise which instance I was dealing with.

Go away.

Who cares who’s doing the recycling, as long as it’s not ending up in a landfill somewhere?

I don’t disagree with you, but there’s still a vast gulf between freedom of speech in the US and China

Some*

I didn’t imply ALL of them thought the same way. My point was that Americans still have the freedom to speak up (for now)

US citizens are pretty vocal about the failings of their nation. Good luck finding that in unimprisoned China nationals.

Plenty of people love Sanderson and Mistborn, no need to yuck somebody else’s yum.

If only one country worldwide can produce the food it needs, that implies every other country is running at a deficit and is essentially importing food from that one net producer. Which obviously isn’t the case. Wtf is with this headline.

TLDR:

The agency’s latest World Energy Outlook, a comprehensive report on global energy trends, still includes its previous “stated policies” scenario, essentially projecting that countries will continue enacting policies that help tackle climate change and adopting solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles at a rapid clip, potentially leading to a decline or plateau in the use of oil, gas and coal by 2035.

Unlike last year, however, the agency is also including a more conservative “current policies” scenario that assumes countries won’t enact any additional energy policies and will face obstacles in shifting to cleaner forms of power. The Trump administration had pressured the agency to include this scenario, which sees oil and gas demand rising steadily through 2050, leading to significantly more global warming.

What’s unsolved about the concept? It doesn’t have to be self sustaining, and most of it is just engineering challenges that can be solved by throwing money at it.

Yes, you’ve now got high end scientists in universities across Europe!
