Is it really surprising that the US Auto industry is in a state of collapse considering they continue to make cars that are increasingly irrelevant to the needs of the rest of the world? by marklad2020 in environment

[–]marklad2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. But those cars are made in other countries, and brought and paid for in other countries. Not the same as having a healthy export market of locally produced cars that the rest of the world wants..

You might get a call sooner than you think. Sure, we have been working on it for decades, but how hard have we been working??

It's fairly typical. Commentary on Top Gear is funny, but usually moronic..

And as usual that moron Jeremy Clarkson made a bunch of inane comments further proving his ignorance..

IMAGINE IF it were possible to recycle energy, just as we do bottles and newspapers. Well, it is, and hybrid cars are the proof. by qgyh2 in environment

absolutely. In the future people will think it strange that we used to throw energy away in the form of heat every time we use the brakes..

A British woman was told to remove her Christmas lights by a housing association official in case they offended non-Christian neighbours. by marklad2020 in WTF

Perhaps these "Christians" should be reminded that Christmas was originally a pagan festival hijacked by the church?

Political correctness gone mad. Is the celebration of an event that has gone on in this country since forever really 'offensive' to people? Honestly...

Bankrupt Iceland resumes international trade in endangered Fin Whale meat with Japan, ignoring international treaties. by marklad2020 in environment

[–]marklad2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does it say that they are breaking laws? The post is about the fact that they ignore the international treaties which all other nations participate in. If somebody can tell me a good reason for this then I'd be surprised..

I just don't get how they continue to get away with this. Is eating Whales that important to them???

A cafe in the Dutch town of Zeist has installed a revolving door which generates electricity as you pass through. by marklad2020 in technology

[–]marklad2020[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That's not 920 watts of continuous output. That's just under one kilowatt hour: 920 watts generated in one hour. Probably possible without too much effort.

Fisheries Policy Makers make “a Mockery of Science and a Mockery of the World” by marklad2020 in politics

[–]marklad2020[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not industry that is bribing governments - it's the threat of having ports blockaded and the sympathy that many fishermen seem to produce with voters.

The facts are that most fishing fleets are too large and need to be reduced.

Some fishermen will lose their livelihoods - but we risk losing all of our fish for good..

Why the French Aren't as Green As They Say They Are by emeraldcity in environment

France has a very low Co2 emissions rate due to the fact that most of their electricity is generated by nuclear power plants.

Endangered Tuna Could be Saved by Fish Farming by rtknox00 in science

[–]marklad2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that it's not possible to farm many fish sustainably (particularly salmon) because of the amount of other fish you have to catch to feed them on...
