You are right. However, with policy changes, we also need a tenable plan for a hydrogen economy that is physically and economically possible. The tech to produce and handle hydrogen on that scale does not exist, and much like carbon capture and storage, they are likely to remain a pipe dream; numbers don’t add up. We’ve spent a century building infrastructure that has no use other than extracting and processing fossil fuels. That we have enough resources to make the transition to a clean economy is in serious doubt at this time.
It does make a nice talking point to make everyone feel better about technology saving us from ourselves in the future, though. It’s certainly much more palatable than talking about the overshoot of the human population.
Yes it is. Haber-Bosch process is where all our ammonia comes from, and it’s fed via petrochemical stocks. No oil = no food.
Weeds aren’t a problem, but typically the fertilizers for hydro are petroleum based, and therefore not sustainable.
I’m hoping for Weird AL.
How many times do we have to say it: Please stop naming your baby hippos, “Jeffery Dahmer”.
What’s that? Is it the sound of Energy Cost of Energy knocking at the door? Oh, and look at this, they’ve left a pamphlet titled “The bell tolls for thee, intensive input agricultural base, it tolls for thee”
Welcome to the enshittification of the internet. Its strange, its almost like our benevolent Billionaire overlords dont want us educated, just a big dumb source of profit to be extracted, but no, that couldn’t be it, must just be “bad search engines”.
Excellent. We’ll done.
I went the other way, built my house out of structural pigs…
Those and round phone jacks about every 10 feet or so. There’s a phone jack in the hallway! Not even connected to a landline anymore. And because we opted for the ultra-deluxe old home, an intercom system that made a zapping noise accompanied by a perfect little curl of smoke when we turned it on for the first time. Yeeeehaaaaaa!!!
