You know what does research better than his yacht?
NOAA, funded by him (and every other billionaire) paying their fucking taxes.

He’s on another level with puns like that.
Here’s your friendly reminder that nonviolence still allows for self protection. If someone is performing violence on you or someone you love, being nonviolent doesn’t mean you just sit there and go “it’d be wrong for me to use violence to protect myself/my loved ones”. Fighting back is acceptable.
Hey I agree with you, but,
The last nuke plant we built in the US was designed in the 1980’s thought, so those ground breaking improvements are here.
Power storage is only half of it. Most grids transmit AC power, and in order for that you need SOMETHING in the grid that provides a stable frequency aka a stable prime moves whose speed is unaffected by changes in load. That can be provided by fossil fuel plants, nuclear plants, or hydropower (as long as shifting climate patterns continue to keep reservoirs full).
Wind turbines don’t have a consistent enough prime mover (the wind, so unreliable that it’s a metaphor for constant, rapid change). Solar panels supply DC power, so another option is figuring out long range DC power transmission, which is what China is doing I believe. It’s an incredibly costly and resources intensive solution though.
Power generation is more complicated than just making something spin. You have to consider loading, reactive load, what to do with excess power during off peak hours, balancing load between multiple power sources. Unfortunately, solving the climate crisis is going to take more than “just build renewable sources”.
It also doesn’t help that our infrastructure is out of date due to refusing upgrades because they included green sources (Trump preventing off hore wind farms, for example, also prevents infrastructure upgrades) and/or NIMBYism.

People like this are so fucking weird. Like oh, you can’t say a word? Wah, baby is so oppressed.
Black folks used to get lynched for looking at white women the wrong way (Edit: Now that I think about it, black folks got lynched if white women looked at them the wrong way). Even today, they get incarcerated for the dumbest shit.
People that think they’re oppressed because they experience social pressure have no concept of what real oppression is like. They have to make bullshit like this up and call it oppression because even 1 day of being truly oppressed would induce suicide on their fragile ego.
If you want to say the word, stop living like a coward, say it, and accept the consequences for your actions.
It’s like people who saw that Druski video and said “Oh, so blackface if okay now, too?” Yeah, I guess so. You should make a video on blackface right now and upload it if it’s the same thing. Oh you did and lost your job? Maybe it’s not then, and you should find out why instead of crying about it.
/Rant (But seriously, maybe John Brown was right)
Honestly probably the closest thing to Pikachu we have.
Right? I don’t even know what his voice sounds like.
Don’t worry, nuclear war is about to set us back quite a bit.

14·11 天前Everyone thinks that the massive data centers are for AI, but they’re really just because billionaires can finally afford to build a machine capable or running Crysis with ultra settings.

IDK man, seems like corporations and governments could do something about climate change, and that’d probably stop a few forest fires.
Yeah but, you know, Democrats.
While elements within the party want change, the party as a whole is still captured by and beholden to wealthy donors.
That’s what animals do when they’re backed into a corner.
