for sure. you would never power a city off solar thats for sure.. but then again people out in rural areas often produce excess energy so to some extent that balances out. But as I said, solar alone isnt enough anyway.

@meowski @Genen @Coyote

@Coyote

No, but my point is we block the wind all the time. So we can kinda infer what the consequences will be to some extent... Any idea of us blocking the wind causing some major disaster because we pulled too much energy out of the wind seems like something we can pretty much rule out.

@icedquinn @nanook @Atlas_Khan @Genen

@Coyote

yea 7 to 20 years is the norm across the USA.. you can get lower than 7 but its usually only if you have a particularly efficient home or lifestyle to help keep you from needing to suppliment from the electric company. Also to get below 7 you need an electric company that buys your excess in that situation (which is why my dad was 5 years).

@icedquinn @meowski @Genen

@Coyote

I dont disagree on reducing consumption... just saying I think we can draw conclusions from existing infrastructure that wind and tidal arent really huge risks

@Genen

@Coyote

This is certainly true. We do a horrible job at making power efficient. However an interesting note, if you use electric heat then in the winter the inefficiency of everything in your home is no longer working against you.

Everything is nearly 100% efficient at producing heat. So when you have inefficient devices in your home in winter it really just means your heater works less and overall you consume the same electricity as you would if everything was 100% efficient.

@Atlas_Khan

quite a few.. BUT I could do them all in like 10 minutes (already did to test it).

@icedquinn @nanook @Genen @Coyote

@swiley depends just how much "lately" you mean.. it went up 3x over 3 months.. thats HUGE returns from an investment standpoint. Though I suppose if youc compare that to more novel coins like Cardano which went up like 10x in that time I would agree. That said ETH is still outperforming Bitcoin... its just novel coins are growing faster just because their starting closer to 0.

I keep some in ether but honestly ether tokens are the better way to go if you want fast gains and more risk.

@Coyote

That does not seem to agree with the data.. most areas with wind and tidal energy have no seen much of any impact. The only thing that seems to slightly increase are bird deaths from running into the windmills, but its not huge and probably overall less considering birds die from pollution and climatechange too.

@Atlas_Khan

get a ubiq wallet, register it with the bot, do a withdrawl command, then use the ubiq defi dAPP to convert 10gran into ubiq coin, then send that coin to an exchange like gate.io and convert into USD or the crypto of your choice.

@icedquinn @nanook @Genen @Coyote

@icedquinn

I mean sure, but putting a single building up will block more wind than a windturbine would.. We have been reducing the kinetic energy in the wind since forever and it hasnt really had much consequences.

Tidal energy it little mroe than a barrel floating on the top of the ocean, you'd never extract enough energy from that to make more than a small blip of a percentage of a difference.

@nanook @Atlas_Khan @Genen @Coyote

@Atlas_Khan

You can convert it to real money, but dont expect to get rich off it :)

@icedquinn @nanook @Genen @Coyote

@Coyote

Not sure what you mean by that. They are tied into the energy grid and generally routed to wherever they need to be, at least most of the time.

@icedquinn @nanook @Atlas_Khan @Genen

@deesapoetra

fact

@soundwave

@Coyote

What could possibly scare you about wind or tidal? They arent perfect and I can think of maybe some concerns with wind and killing birds, which isnt a huge problem but its not non existant... but otherwise i cant image how they would cause any major issue. Countries that use it arent seeing any problems either.

@icedquinn @nanook @Atlas_Khan @Genen

@Coyote

hahaha, yea i mean thats not entierly wrong. The fact that they arent really rare is why i was able to get them so much cheaper than market. But while the market is a huge markup the price isnt totally fabricated. At least not at the upper echlon. Really high clarity good color diamonds arent super common and while they are worth less than their market value they still have good base value. Since I was getting them at-cost basically it was worth the value even if you ignore the markup.

@icedquinn @Genen

@icedquinn

silver or no, replacing the entire infrastructure with panels is not the way to go, never way... solar panels are only intended to play part of the role, supplement a percentage of the power.. the rest comes from other types of solar (liquid sodium mirrors), wind, tidal, geothermal, and for whatever is left over, nuclear. You would never want to use just one solution, if you did you'd always have gaps.

@nanook @Atlas_Khan @Genen @Coyote

@Coyote

Only thing i did with mining was buy a few real cheap high quality diamonds and other gemstones over the years that i could easily resell at a higher price. I keep them though as I havent needed to sell.

Mining companies can be profitable. I've had stock in a few and made money on it. But I was in on the last crypto boom and got out at the top and I am convinced we are in another (i mean we are, things have spiked 3x - 30x in three months depending on the crypto)... The level of return on crypto in the short term, if it really goes the direction I suspect it will, is going to dwarf everything else. Its a game changer of massive economic scale.

With that said even though I think Crypto is the big bet I always diversify knowing I can be wrong too. My second choice outside of crypto is actually nothing more than TQQQ, as I am betting on a general economic boom due to covid vaccine and TQQQ is the safest bet for that, its 3x leveraged, I leverage it 2x myself so we are talking 6x leverage over nasdaq index. so I'm expecting good returns there too (and seeing it so far).

@icedquinn @Genen

@soundwave I would prefer humans sexually partnering with robots, we need fewer humans, and that means fewer babies.

@Coyote

Nuclear power can be safe if done right i agree.. problem is it isnt always done right because people want to save money.. other problem is when it isnt done right the consequences are dire.

Overall its a fine semi-green solution, but we can do better.
