Solar rooftop just seems like wasted resources.

Solar farms are cheaper and more efficient. The government should just be buying land and building new grid cables out to the middle of nowhere then auctioning off connections for battery and solar projects that are ready to go.

I thought with falcon pre used boosters were more valuable as they have been proven? Maybe it's the same.

Fuck. Wish there was more 4chan content on here.

People are boring.

Would have been nice to do the same in Wales also but that's not England so fuck em.

For years I didn't realise it was about American football.

In American football if you attack well you get to attack again, and again and again. You literally don't have to defend. The only thing better than defending well is not defending at all.

Obviously this reaches a point where you attack so well you score. But even if the other team attacks perfectly it becomes a 0 sum game.

Also american football is a stupid game.

Third world is absolutely going to jump ahead of the first world in a short period of time. It just makes so much sense for things that you say and the need to expand their grid to cope with increased demand.

Batteries are going to be the real game changer and its underway.

Plus all the third world countries have great solar and only really two first world countries have good solar. 1 has the highest levels of rooftop solar and are looking to expand batteries and the other has American exceptionalism so will always have excuses to not be able to do things other countries can with a worse hand.

 

"Pakistan isn’t the first country you’d expect to crash the global solar party. But by the end of 2024, it quietly rocketed into the top tier of solar adopters, importing a jaw-dropping 22 gigawatts worth of solar panels in a single year. That’s not a typo or a spreadsheet rounding error. That’s the kind of number that turns heads at IEA meetings and makes policy analysts double-check their databases. It certainly made me sit up and take notice when I first heard about what was happening in mid-2024.

It’s more solar than Canada has installed in total. It’s more than the UK added in the past five years. And yet it didn’t make a blip in most Western media."

I thought this was going to be about magnets or those metals that remember their shape.

Those heat pumps sound so sci fi.

But either way this is goodm

The scary thing is British driving ability appears on the high end of the spectrum from my experience.

The worse thing is speeding which is normalised.

The roads are just shit and full. When you go to a part of another country with same sort of traffic and narrow roads its becomes apparent Brits drive well.

Look you don't understand I need to speed so I can get suck on traffic faster. It allows me to get to my destination earlier (I don't care what proof you have that it doesn't). Nothing else matters.

I will not be taking questions, just getting mad at people for not having common sense.

Go fuck yourself.

Heard of so many people losing their phone. Then they try to log into something and the company (quite often google) says "I don't give a fuck if you know your passwords I'm never letting you log into your account get fucked, don't call I won't answer"

Yes. England (and the rest of the UK) was build on exporting ideas and people. Ideas like education, law, science.

Now England is in a new century which is importing ideas from the rest of the world. It doesn't seem to be going as well.

The Witchcraft Act 1735 finally concluded prosecutions for alleged witchcraft in England. The 1800's in England was more enlightenment than current England. God help us all.

That's going to be a one year or one generation solution to the problem. Then the situation is even worse.

"Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country."

 

Figure AI, a robotics innovator, and BMW, the German automobile giant, have revealed remarkable advancements in the Figure 02 humanoid robot’s capabilities. 

Operating on a production line, the Figure 02 robot has made a significant leap, achieving a 400% increase in speed and a sevenfold improvement in success rate.

"The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

"This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

"Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."

"the Alphabet-owned company has been allowed to deploy an unlimited number of robotaxis for paid driverless rides in the city [San Francisco] at all hours. In March, state regulators allowed the company to expand its commercial ride-hailing to 22 Peninsula cities.

Now, Waymo officials are declaring victory after a year of commercial driverless service without any serious incidents and say it gives them confidence to speed up their robotaxi expansion.

David Margines, Waymo’s director of product management, said in an interview that the company’s one-year track record in San Francisco “is a validation” that its robotaxis can “drive safely” and “coexist in the communities that we want to operate in.”

“Looking back over the year, I’m thrilled to say that it’s been a big success,” he said."

 

"Waymo regularly takes its autonomous vehicles on winter road trips to test the cars in snowy environments. In 2017, it was Michigan.

This year, Waymo will hit multiple wintry locales, including Truckee, California; Upstate New York; and Michigan, from the Upper Peninsula to the metro Detroit area"

 

Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don't want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.
