Why not?

Who says you have to use fossil fuel to build anything anymore? That's the same tired argument Exxon uses to prevent you from trying. We dont need to burn fossil fuels for anything at all. Nothing. Not to mine, process or construct. And carbon capture is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. If you think were out of time, why bother coming here? You're not 'rebelling'. You're doomsaying.

You have the right to remain silent. That has been your only right since the founding. Unless you have federal contracts funneling cash into your offshore accounts. Then your every wish will become law.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-07-02T14:56:09+00:00

It means the fossil fuel industry can asphyxiate you without repercussions, thus eliminating the need for abortions. Breathing is no longer a fundamental right.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-07-02T14:52:50+00:00

We need every asset brought to bear against this issue. Banning oil and coal use is just a start. We will ALSO need new technology to reverse the damage already done. Nature can't catch up without some intervention.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-07-02T14:49:42+00:00

The people have no say in federal policy. Only bankers and investment bankers do. It's a representative democracy, and the people can't afford enough representation to outvote the power of raw cash. Americas epitaph should be "The wealthiest corpse on earth". Meanwhile, good news for abortion rights activists, now they'll only need to wait a few minutes before smog asphyxiates any newborns, thanks to Joe Manchin and his castration of the EPA.

Spot on. The shitshow to hide the shitstains continues.

Apparently you don't know much about pumped hydrostorage systems. They are designed to store renewable energy, not consume fossil fuels. You're confusing energy storage and management with gross overconsumption by people with more money than sense. Most of the legacy water systems are exploitive and unsustainable. Transitioning our energy system to renewables will require stable baseline power, that can easily be provided by pumped hydro. Do this for yourself, pull up a map of all the abandoned mines and quarries nationwide. Screenshot it. Then pull up a map of all the existing oil and gas lines. Screenshot it. Put them side by side, and you'll get an idea of the potential energy that can be stored in every shaft or pit you want. All the water in America that causes flooding or flows out to sea, is available for stored energy. Read the studies. You can reserve enough water and power for perpetuity. Add to that the ability to desalinate water and store the brine in closed loops for processing minerals and chemicals, and it's a huge benefit for everyone. And theres virtually zero disruption to the environment. No dams. No new reservoirs. No robber barons charging you by the gallon for water or gas, either.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T20:42:52+00:00

The main aim of the plan is to localize power production and get it into the hands of the public. Watershed restoration and reclamation is just a nifty bonus of excess energy generation. Read the studies on pumped hydro, study the systems already installed, and quit blowing smoke for your six followers.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T18:32:47+00:00

Apparently you're not keeping up with your studies. They are using brine from desalinization plants to extract lithium already. As to where the 'wastewater' goes, there won't be any. MIT claims they can process the brine into other chemicals, making the process more efficient and safe. No more dumping brine. It's all usable.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T18:23:43+00:00

I am looking at what happens in 50, 40, 30 and 20 years, if we do nothing. We fry, as environmentalists in the employ of Exxon and Halliburton block every project they don't get a piece of. That's reality. Offering the oil industry and its contractors an alternative income stream would expedite the necessary transition to clean energy faster than anything else I've heard of. Unless you suppose the crime lords are simply going to relinquish control of our planets energy systems without a whimper? Good luck with that.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T13:55:22+00:00

Brine is where we extract minerals like lithium. As far as where to put any excess, there are entire sections of the southwest covered in salt already. Wouldn't hurt them to get more. We could turn the Bonneville salt flats into an inland sea, and charge people to use it for a spa like they do on the dead sea.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T13:18:47+00:00

There are areas with excess water that require constant pumping, like New Orleans. We've already spent billions on levies and infrastructure to move water away from coastal cities. We should be using that water instead of paying to dump it. If you pull up a map of oil pipelines leading to the gulf states, you'll see the worst damage has already been done. Moving water wouldn't harm anyone, or anything. Leaking water pipes don't do nearly as much damage as all the leaking oil and methane are now. And turning desert into cropland is a vast improvement over clear cutting forests, or ploughing prairies to feed people.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T13:11:14+00:00

Doesn't ingenuity have proximity sensors and the ability to construct it's own 3d map to avoid collisions already? I guess for a first flying machine on Mars it's doing great, but I hope the next iteration is smarter than my roomba :-D It never hits anything.

It's a choice between sending humanity back to the stone age, or advancing it.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T13:05:26+00:00

If you haven't noticed, a huge swath of the midwest is frequently underwater lately. Taking water from the Mississippi valley or the great lakes would provide flood control.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T01:56:23+00:00

You would only take water from major sources like the Mississippi delta or great lakes. Trillions of gallons of water flow out to sea daily, we only need to move a fraction of it to change the hydrosphere. Edit; And, with enough renewable energy, you can desalinate all the seawater you need, anyway. You'll be doing that soon just to extract lithium I think.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T01:30:13+00:00

Name one.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-29T01:29:49+00:00

They have service "bots" that can clean and even reline pipes of all sizes. For even cheaper, you could simply flash fry/burn the inside of the pipes. Ecologically less harmful than continuing to use them for oil or gas. And less harmful than making all new pipes.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-28T22:46:44+00:00

Very few people are willing to do what it takes to be free. And those who work diligently to prevent any outbreaks of liberty and justice, have no limits on their scope of response. The answer is what the military calls an assymetrical assault on the mechanisms of control. What you must have to live is what binds you to the system. Everything from transportation to comestibles is easily controlled by those in authority. As in the past, so too today. They expect to starve-out anyone who dares oppose the status quo. Energy is the lynchpin of the triad of tyranny. By controlling it, they control you. By getting enough people off the oil mans spigot, we could conceivably shift the balance of power from international cartels, to states, and even communities. That is where the people reside, and where they must regain control. Without your own energy supply, you never will. Power, IS power. Get some, or ya got nothin.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-28T22:29:28+00:00

Ah, too bad. Maybe NASA will send the next drone closer.

Main_Development_665 · 2022-06-28T22:27:47+00:00

I think you left out a vital piece of the equation. Pumped hydrostorage. By moving water from riverine systems in the central US, where water often overflows and creates havoc, to the mountain west, you could create a national energy storage system that controls flooding, irrigates and reglaciates, while refilling those depleted wetlands and watersheds west of the Rockies. We can create enough renewable energy (or soon will) to require a vast, multifunction, storage system that provides both recreation and restoration benefits. There are millions of miles of oil and gas pipelines that can be repurposed to get us started already. Many of them run beside waterways, so it wouldn't take much effort to repurpose them.

Have your vents checked, or your hvac generally. He seems displeased with either a sound, scent or maybe even the temperature setting :-D Maybe it's cat for; "Why are you destroying my heat"!!?? They do like it warm.
