2021-02-26 Nuclear VS Coal — Deaths
@fact not fiction It’s fundamentally unfair to claim that more people die of air pollution (in a given time) from coal power plants than have died in all nuclear accidents. The *direct* deaths of nuclear power are being compared to the *indirect* deaths caused by air pollution. What must be compared is the direct deaths

2021-02-23 Plastic Waste To Engine Fuel
This guy lives on an island in Nicaragua and gathers plastic waste on the beach. He puts the plastic into a metal tank that is sealed, and builds a fire under it. The plastic pyrolyzes and the fumes are piped through a few condensers where the liquids are drawn off. Some liquids are like diesel

2021-02-23 Green Premium
From Gates’ book p.74 << It’s not immediately obvious why there’s such a thing as a Green Premium in the first place. Natural gas plants have to keep buying fuel as long as they’re running: solar farms, wind farms, and dams get their fuel for free. Also, there’s the truism that as you take a

2021-01-21 Biden Cancels Trump’s Keystone Pipeline Permission
From FB comment I see all this speculation about what’s going to happen in the future with the Keystone Pipeline but no one brings up a few very important points. There are already pipelines from Canada to the south, so this cancelled pipeline is increasing the existing amount coming into the US. The cancellation is

2020-12-08 Fed Court Rejects Trump’s Approval of Antarctic Offshore Drilling Project
It’s time the world stops expansion of fossil fuels and expand clean renewables. The Orange Orangutan has done enough damage to the US and the world. Waiting for Jan 20 to get rid of Don the Con. And I don’t feel one bit of guilt calling Trump names because he calls HRC ‘crooked Hillary’ and
