Thread from FB << Michael Burns Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a totally different technology, which has a lot of operational advantages over PV, but still many disadvantages compared to other generation types.

I was reading Bill Gates’ article about jet fuel should be like microwave ovens: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Energy/Introducing-a-new-way-to-invest-in-clean-energy-innovation He said that “If we are going to get to zero emissions by 2050, we need a business model that will eliminate the Green Premium.” Or similar words to that effect. What he is saying is that the world must

Read Applications section for pilot plants that use CO2 to make CH4 that can be used in the existing natural gas system. Also it’s being used to power a fleet of cars. Only problem with CO2 capture to syngas is that it doesn’t permanently remove the CO2 from the atmosphere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction Quote: << The Sabatier

This is something I haven’t read about, a way to capture CO2 and use it and microbes to grow protein. https://www.dezeen.com/2021/06/29/carbon-solar-foods-pasi-vainikka-solein/ It says we exhale much of the carbon we eat. I started thinking about the possibility of someday we would wear a breathing apparatus that captures the CO2 we exhale and use something, possibly

The high temperatures in the north have exceeded the worst case climate models. Perhaps this will convince a lot more climate change deniers that climate change is really real. All we need is to have the high heat melt all the ice up north and cause a bunch of coastal cities to become flooded by

The petroleum industry knew for decades their products caused climate change, yet they campaigned to cause doubt and uncertainty, delaying the actions until it was too late and the world has been harmed by their lies and inactions. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/30/climate-crimes-oil-and-gas-environment
Food systems are responsible for a third of global GHG emissions according to the paper shown in this episode of Just Have Another Think.
