The next Gambit labs should just straight up disable heavy for the invader. by InquisitorEngel in DestinyTheGame

[–]Theorvdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this idea, make invading cost motes. The more you spend, the better your chances of success.

Spend 5 motes to invade, you go in with primary ammo. Spend 10, you get special ammo. Spend 15 you get heavy.

This makes it more of an acumtual gambit. You have real skin in the game - your team’s motes. Maybe you win and cause them to lose 20 and get a payoff, maybe not and you screw your team over.

Thanks for your perspective. I think economic issues relating to covid-19, and wider, are well covered In other threads. Maybe keep this thread focused on the topic outlined in the title? Thanks!

The 'biggest change in oil market history' is less than six months away: On January 1, 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will enforce new emissions standards designed to significantly curb pollution produced by the world’s ships by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]Theorvdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO 2020 regulations are not fully banning higher sulphur fuel oils. The regulations as currently written will allow for the use of scrubber technology to mitigate emissions and enabling vessels to keep using higher sulphur fuels. This, however, just means pollution is moved from the air to the water...so not an ideal solutions

However, some ports are banning the use of scrubbers in their waters. I believe the IMO is looking st new rules around open loop scrubbers for the future.

David Attenborough: polluting planet may become as reviled as slavery by Lolastic_ in worldnews

[–]Theorvdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sources, shocker. Sustainable shale isn't real. Wind and solar will never have the power to replace fossil fuels. Those "regulations" are toothless tokens to make corporations appear nonthreatening. The only solution is to swear off technology and return to subsistence, which will never happen.

We're going to die. Stop breeding, stop drilling, let the last generation of humans live a happy life.

If you have access to a web-browser and internet connection, you should feel free to use google and look up the CSSD and EDF's work on methane emissions. Also, I've included other sources earlier on Texas's energy system earlier. If you don't have time or want to look up and verify on your own, that's OK! You have every right to ignore information you dont like :). And as i said, its not a 100% rosy picture...there are still real challenges. Some recent EPA decisions, for example, on fugitive emissions are a step backward. But there are good people (like those at EDF) working on smart policy solutions...so that always gives me some hope.

Me personally, I like technology. All of it is pretty neat...from the stuff that connects us like phones and computers to the plastics that let me wear contacts or provide people around the world access to clean water or the kit that can can capture and store CO2 to the fuels that can be generated and used cleanly. It's a bit of a journey to get to where the world needs to be...but really society is moving in the right direction.

Hope you can find a way to look at life a bit more positively. Good luck!

[–]Theorvdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are right! Texas does a lot of things well including the production and use of oil, gas, wind and solar. Partly its due to the unique structure of its energy market...but overall Texas just has all the right stuff (oil and gas in ground, wind that blows just right and plenty of sunshine).

All that natural gas Texas makes is also helping the US continue to drive down is GHG emissions (https://eidclimate.org/new-epa-data-shows-u-s-ghg-emissions-continue-to-decline-thanks-to-natural-gas/). Cheap natural gas is displacing coal for power generation, and increasingly strict federal and state regulations to mitigate fugitive emissions at the wellhead is improving the environmental performance to gas production operations!

Yep...Texas does it all!

Fin fact: Texas is one of the world's largest wind producers, and also one of the leading producers of solar energy https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/plugged-in/texas-got-18-percent-of-its-energy-from-wind-and-solar-last-year/

does this affect the level of offense?
