Reply to comment by Cozimo64 in Crypto giant Binance charged with violating US trading and derivatives laws by GL4389
Kraken is also still in business and doing just fine, just as bitstamp and bitfinex My question is, is Binance as big as they seem to be, since they own Coinmarketcap that holds all this info.

In Canada we use a lot of hydroelectric for our power. Dams set up on fast moving rivers generate all our power. Only cost is the setup and maintenance of the dams, the source (water) is free. Unlike coal.

Glad to see the country that runs concentration camps in the 21st century is getting good PR.

Last I checked, and it wasn't that long ago, we were still adding fossil fuel burning over and above what we were burning before.
Renewables just get layered on top and do help lower how much we add fossil fuel, but... we need to be crash weaning ourselves off fossil fuels, not just adding less but still adding.
Coal should be gone by now. It kills thousands in the US alone from the pollution, god knows how many worldwide.

Should Americans be protected from the technological tentacles of the Chinese Communist Party, for sure, at the same time the rest of us should be protected from American survielence capitalist social media + NSA, as non-USA democratic citizens don't we deserve the same respect and consideration, or are the $$$ just too alluring to live up to shared values /s.

Reply to comment by SunnyGrassBeachRelax in EU fossil fuel car ban gets final green light by altmorty
This ain't going to fix anything. Transportation is only 13% of the EU's total carbon emissions. And all cars and trucks being electric won't even get rid of all of that 13% unless the power grid is 100% renewable. That power has to come from somewhere. Furthermore, a new electric car that is replacing an existing gas car has to make back its manufacturing costs before it becomes greener, further increasing the futility of this measure.
And there's the rest of the world who are less green to begin with.
At this point, barring a technological miracle or nuclear holocaust, nothing we do is going to prevent run away climate change. We will simply have to be prepared to deal with the consequences. Electric cars will and should replace gas cars, but there isn't any point in trying to force it when the technology is still too expensive and flawed.
The best approach would be to take a step back and let electrification happen at the pace the tech is developing and focus green efforts on power grids, manufacturing, construction, and reducing consumerism.

The logistics of moving fuel is massive, ongoing, and increasing.

I'm actually more concerned with him buying up so much US farmland. What's that really about?!

It's kinda shitty for average joes but we're at a point where the environment needs to be fixed and fixed fast. The Brussels effect is a thing that will definitely come into play here especially with a lot of leading car manufacturers being headquartered in the EU.

"Internal combustion cars can continue to be registered after 2035 if they only use fuel sources which are CO2 neutral"
Yikes. Sounds like they are saying "buy a new car or get fucked lol". Hope to god the US doesn't follow suit.
Unless they can get 100% CO2 neutral gasoline, this sounds like poorer Europeans are going to be fucked.

It means that the gas (energy) costs money to acquire and consume to generate power.. you don’t have to pay for sun light, or a breeze, or the tide of the ocean.

We don't have to burn stuff to make renewable electricity. That means no constant paying for the coal or gas or other burnable thing, just equipment

Yes there is. Far too many people don't seem to understand what happens during massive famines. They forget the war and horror that quickly follows regardless of how "civilized" a country used to be.
People need to be scared and frightened. Or they won't change.
That "investment" thought is part of the problem. There won't be any worthwhile investments if countries end up tearing each other apart for food and water.
As for mental health yep I agree it sucks. But that's pretty much an expected symptom of our fucked up civilization at this point.

Well yeah and I am pretty sure 99.99% of the people on this subreddit know all that.
Nevertheless there is no need to counter every utterance of positive news, which this is, with a “it’s not good enough”.
Like, nobody here is saying it is good enough, but by constantly hammering home the point that it’s not good enough you aren’t going to encourage investment in solutions but give rise to arguments like “there’s no point in bankrupting ourselves for something that is out of our control”, which is the current position of most right wingers.
What I think would really help is for people to see the encouraging signs for what they are, become positively engaged with increasing those successes (by better insulating their houses, investing in solar stocks, etc) and just generally not being so fucking negative. If nothing else, it’s terrible for mental health.

Agree. I have two restaurants and we’ve never been busier. It’s def different now, as we used to be 85% dine in business and now sit around 50/50 dine and take out.

I would argue the local restaurants around me in the suburbs are doing better because they get a lot more of my business while being home. Its just a change in the distribution of where the money goes as far as restaurants.
