Extreme longshot here, but

Anyone on here knows anything about methanol fuel cells? Only reply if you have used one.

iMovie has to be one of the most counterintuitive pieces of software

No agenda social is a really good deterrent from me ever listening to the podcast

It is a financial warzone in my building's laundry room, and I'm losing bad

European Commission has just published the final version of #EUSustainableTaxonomy regulations regarding #nuclear and fossil gas.

For nuclear power, the activities in scope for the taxonomy are:

Research, development and deployment of advanced technologies (“Generation IV”) that minimise waste and improve safety standards
New nuclear plant projects with existing technologies for energy generation of electricity or heat (“Generation III+”)
Upgrades and modifications of existing nuclear plants for lifetime extension purposes

In addition, there are strict technical requirements on safety and waste managements for these projects to qualify.

On fossil gas:

Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels
High-efficiency co-generation of heat/cool and power from fossil gaseous fuels
Production of heat/cool from fossil gaseous fuels in an efficient district heating and cooling system

Most importantly, fossil gas projects:

must meet specific emission thresholds, should replace an existing coal facility which cannot be replaced by #renewablenergy, should achieve certain targets in terms of emissions reductions, and fully switch to renewable or low-carbon gases by 2035

There was quite a lot of criticism from “green” activists about inclusion of nuclear (these were outright anti-scientific) and fossil gas, which were kind of justified in theory, but hypocrisy in practice, because in practice most countries that increase share of renewables also increase use of fossil fuels to compensate for intermittency.

In general, the taxonomy can be seen as a great win for climate and science-based policy in the first place.

@samuraikid maybe I don't get it. Are you surprised that news content is syndicated?

I'm on Woopie's side. USA just hates black celebrities that go off script

@thegibson 2 weeks ago I was reading about space junk, and articles were saying "if anyone develops a space junk cleanup craft, it will be seen as a military aggression" .... Well, right on cue there is this. Thanks for sharing!

@Moon reminded me of this article from a while back. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4

It's sad, for sure. I lived in a pretty rural area, and got to do some exploring as a kid but not more than a mile or so from home. (That radius grew once I could drive, and while I had a snowmobile for a few years)

I worry about my own kids being tethered to the house though. I plan to live in a more urban area. I guess only time will tell

People just wanna go to the store and buy a solution to climate change.
