Climate Change? Nahhh ...

So who owns two miles offshore? Or ten? Or the wind, or sunshine? Price be damned. If I can build, wholly, a turbine or a rooftop "something", can I be stopped? How far do our property rights go? My Mom owned a beach house, the property rights were the high water beach marks. So varying. And now much shallower. How high in the sky before it's against building codes. I'm asking who can really own the earth and above. And why do we give the Koch brothers the power to do so? TAKE.IT.BACK.

 

Not sure it's that simple, especially when it comes to public utilities.

“Reducing our emissions by 50 percent is technically feasible, it’s economically viable, and there are massive additional benefits,” says Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory energy economist Nikit Abhyankar, a coauthor of the paper. “So this is what we call a no-regrets strategy.”

 

All these commercial buildings in Las Vegas I can see out my window, flat huge expanses. Not a single f****** solar panel on any of them. There has not been a cloud in the sky and this is our fourth day here.

 

Morons on twitter are blaming Bill Gates for cattle dying in Kansas.

 

He should have opened the Windows sooner.

 

That shithole city would find a way to charge customers for it directly. Probably add it to the resort fee.

 

Twenty years ago my friend in New Hampshire decided to get his house off the grid. Built a small windmill to pump water, set up a large bank of batteries, installed a large array of solar panels before that was subsidized, bought equipment to be able to sell power back to the grid. An extensive and expensive project. When he went offline, after a few months he was surprised how little electricity he was generating. It was only then he discovered that his corner of the state received too little year-round sunshine to make it worthwhile.

Side note, I was in London in August 2019 when it was 91 degrees. It was the hottest bank holiday ever recorded there, and it was fucking miserable. I think we take our air conditioning for granted in America, because many buildings in London are not equipped to handle heat like that.
