Indeed: one of the major causes of bird death from power lines is that people can see crows perched on them, so they shoot.

We both need low-income households to replace old appliances with electric ones and to end private jets.

I think it’s more that induction is something that gets installed during a major remodel. And it’s fairly new, so it’s only in the nicer places right now.

If it hadn’t rusted out, I’d probably still be using a 1950s coil electric stove

Having lived with both gas and induction, I really prefer induction. It can get things up to temperature faster and has the same level of control as gas.

It also doesn’t heat the rest of the kitchen so much and I don’t end up breathing the pollution

They’re usually designed to limit fire spread because servers occasionally just light on fire

Every tall tower gets this review, but they’re only blocking wind turbines. Radio towers and skyscrapers get approved ina few weeks

I use Allclad D3 l. It works just fine on induction

That causes a lot of local harm. You get a wide variety of oil byproducts dumped on all the people within a few miles of the refinery and if it used HF as a catalyst, you may immediately kill a huge number of people. Graceful shutdown is far preferable

He knew exactly what was going on and made the decision to hire the tobacco-cancer denial machine to confuse the public and prevent a timely shift away from fossil fuels

It’s done via the Defense Production Act,which is supposed to be used to mandate the production of materiel for national defense.

I suspect that the inherent losses in those kinds of chemical processes will make high speed rail and the higher energy density batteries very effective competitors with jet-a

Yes, but those synthetic fuels approaches are far more costly than fossil fuels. Currently around $45/gallon, might be able to do $15/gallon at greater scale and with technical improvements.

There will be far less air travel at those prices

Thing about biofuels for aviation is that it’s probably not possible to produce enough unless people stop eating meat

No idea, but the US actively exports a fair bit of coal

Pretty much: he’s taken a lot of oil industry money.

We don’t actually know if Steyer will make it through the primary yet.

Since Democrats hold a minority in both houses of Congress, noise is the one thing they can actually do. It works occasionally

Been a standard argument of theirs for a long time. Eg: the fact that human decisionmaking limited acid rain and ozone depletion is seen as a reason to not need to address any other environmental issues

It probably won’t look quite like that because cheap solar is going to power air conditioning at a scale which gets most people through it

What’s actually happening:

Batteries do wonders for letting people keep on cooking. So does putting power lines underground.
