Looks like it may have algae... if you get water too warm and dont' have enough chlorine in it you can get those brain eating amoebas too... Don't play in the ditch water.

>TX / Cancun Cruz took off.

That's valid.

Not sure where you mean CA? I'm not aware of anywhere else in the Us that is famous for rolling blackouts? Thier power is pretty high there also.

I mean a few cents of of 50cent per kw.... is no different than saying a few cents off $4 gas is falling prices... its objectively true, but it still doesn't mean the prices are equitable.

Yeah but their power costs 2.5-5x more than mine here in the eastern US.... I wouldn't exactly call that a success.... on the upside my power is that much cheaper than thiers so yay!

Never would be ideal...let the market be free. Require carbon neutral fuel eventually but otherwise it's overstepping governments power.

Hydrogen makes steel brittle...can permeate it directly, and has incredibly bad energy density...

overturn the law as unconstitutional...

That's a bald faced lie. Also people produce emissions... If you hardline everything to that point...

Emissions on modern gas and diesel engines are ultra low except for CO2..... And this can be completely recovered via carbon cycle so long term will nullify thier carbon footprint (within a growing season, 1 years worth of automotive CO2 is insignificant as a load to the ecosystem.... constantly adding more is not).

I have no problem with EVs .... But ICEs aren't going anywhere we are just going to fuel them with biofuels aka natural carbon capture.

The correct ICE fuel would be biofuels... With genetically engineered plants increase yield. We already have plants designed that would roughly replace 25% of existing US fuel consumption and make ICE engine emissions almost entirely a moot point. I get my 25% number from working back from the 50million acres currently used for corn and soy that are grown strickefly for biofuel (both are terribly inefficient compared to the possibilities)

See lipidcane and lipidshorgum. Which currently yield about 10x the oil of soy and double the ethanol per acres relative to corn from one crop.

Pretty much all gasoline vehicles can be converted to ethanol...and biodiesel is in many ways superior to petroleum diesel.

Hydrogen is one of the worst ICE fuels in everything except emissions.

Also opposed piston diesels can do 50% better than next generation ultra stringent emissions standards...so again why no traction on real solutions?

Yes woodstove mounted sterling engines... It's small just enough to drive a fan decently. Sterling engines don't require tight tolerances... For basic ones, you only see that in solar parabolic generators etc too eek out more power.

Its because grid electricity makes you beholden to the electric company....generators are usually ok for work use or pnumatic.

Actually there are probably a lot more of these with sterling engines than TECs... since that's the Amish solution. It acutally makes way more sense than running electric motors to move the heat too since you arent' wasting electricity to do something that the motion of heat can do for you.... and all the heat is going into the room anyway.

11+ if you include the country code.

You don't even need bullets... round balls will do.

Depends on the ammo.... black powder or even absorbic acid based propellant isn't hard.

Its also less demanding on the weapon... but also results in a more clumsy weapon (like most BP weapons) fouling, greasing etc...

Costs about $5k though...i assume you mean PocketNC?

Cost per kwh isn't a useful metric....for comparing different types of fuel.... total cost per mi driven would be including cost of the vehicle itself.

Withing the context of emergent behavior theory that would be a valid conclusion I think.... I'm a creationist myself so I have different ideas but, as I said in the earlier comment it would probably be some gnawing behavior due to teeth (but that gets into the discussion of did long growing teeth or gnawing occur first etc.. if you aren't a creationist anyway).

Also I believe rodents aren't the only genus to have long growing teeth or tusks that are maintained by wear and instinct. (which implies potential for parallel evolution or design)

FYI beavers don't eat trees. The actually eat soft vegetation.

If it were emergent behavior it would be to keep their teeth short... since they dont' stop growing but you have more a chicken and egg problem there than a nice happy emergent behavior example.

Even so it is one of the best and most educational things I've seen on this sub in awhile.
