Hydro is fine if you're smart about it. There's a place in Colorado that has harnessed the power of falling water without a damn. If you live in a populated area that has a river running through it you can harness that power with micro-turbines. L.A. is using micro-turbines to power its water...

For every ton of REEs (rare earth elements) taken from the ground, there are 340,000 to 420,000 cubic feet of waste gas containing dust concentrate, hydrofluoric acid, sulfur dioxide, and sulfuric acid released. Additionally, approximately 2,600 cubic feet of acidic waste-water and about a ton...

Here's the problem with wind. Take your standard 2MW turbine. Depending on the environment they're in they have a shelf life of 20-25 years. Now, in order to meet just the annual increase in demand for power, you'd have to cover an area about the size of Great Britain in wind farms every year...

Yeah, his first name was Ralph but he went by Dieter, which was his middle name, as long as I watched him play. Used to love watching him play. That dude could scramble like a sum'bitch and still get a pin-point pass away. Or watching him throw a 70 yard bomb into a 30+mph headwind and put it...

He played there a bit but by that time his knees were shot. I don't think he changed his name though. Although there are at least 2 other CFL QBs in my time that ended up in the NFL, Doug Flutie and Warren Moon.

Religion is for people who can't handle reality. So are drugs, alcohol, and certain political ideologies. Theistic religion is a crutch. If it works for you that's great, keep it to your fucking self.

I was just yankin' yer chain. lol. I'm a Bombers fan myself. I was a Ti-Cats fan until I moved to Winnipeg and Dieter Brock was the QB.

What? People were being shipped back to Europe under rendition?

I guess a Canadian isn't a Canadian isn't a Canadian after all. Then again, I guess that's the risk you take when you decide to be a dual national.

No I don't dipshit. Those instances are the result of safety issues and/or sparks. Lithium batteries can self-ignite all on their own. Do you understand the fucking difference? There's a goodam good reason cargo airliners will no longer ship lithium batteries and self-ignition is the ONLY factor...

Yeah, I guess spontaneous combustion is just something we should have to live with. Speaking of "clean" Lake Baotou is a 120km2 body of toxic sludge resulting in the lust for tech, and now so-called green tech. In fact, "green" protestors are starting to protest lithium mining and have managed...

The Russian airforce has a severe shortage of smart and guided munitions. That's why they failed to gain the air dominance they should have had in the first few days of the war. Trying to destroy bridges with "dumb" bombs is hard to do, especially when your enemy's anti-air defences are still...

But, but, they got battery back ups now, as long as they don't self-combust, which they have a history of doing. batteries at power plant catch fire - Bing images

And the racists win in Quebec. I bet Trudeau doesn't even blink at that.

Oh, you're one of those. That explains a lot, :LOL:

Dude, if those were front-line Russians soldiers then Russia's neighbours have little to worry about, conventionally at least anyway. I've been watching footage of them and the Ukrainians and the Russian battle doctrine is either horribly pathetic or the troops were piss poorly trained with piss...

In 2018 the World Bank announced, to unsurprisingly little fanfare that we were currently at something like 84% of our mining sustainability. In order to meet the idiotic goal of net-zero by 2050 we will have to push that sustainability to over 100%. The math doesn't work. Never mind that...

Everyone who whines about fascist Hitler and Mussolini. Never hear them cry about Franco who ruled Spain until his death in 1973 or 1974. Think about that a moment. Almost 30 years after the end of WW2 there was still a fascist state in Europe that nobody was warring against. Why not?

He's not wrong. Just look at the airline industry. How many people have died in plane crashes because the airline cheaped out on maintenance?

Actually she posted that before Harry quoted it. I just found it funny that she insisted Trudeau is not right-wing and then proceeded to post a definition of fascism that describes Trudeau to a "T".
