Not to mention how damaging their disposal is to the environment. -

Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Electric cars are more energy efficient than internal combustion engine ones, and even when efficiency losses from generation and transmission are taken into account (and something like 75% of energy is lost in those two) you still come out ahead.
Hard to find places where geothermal is practical. Tidal just gets fucked up by the sea. And both those are very location sensitive, and require complex engineering to install, and engineers are expensive. Hence we tend to prefer energy sources that can be mass produced in a factory.
Wind works fine, but we'll probably see a big storm flip over a bunch of wind turbines before very long. They are supposed to survive something like a once in a century storm - which isn't much of a brag.
Solar I guess works if you have a sunny climate. There is also solar thermal as well as photovoltaics. They keep trying it here, which is a bad joke.
Wind works but it costs more much more to produce the same amount of energy as from a source like coal. That is why the government has to subsidize the operation and construction of "wind farms". -

I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise
Broken dreams, as we shuffle by
It's six o'clock
It's quitting time, I'm done for the day
Out on the streets, I overheard a lady say
'We now have everything, or so people say
But now this emptiness haunts me every day'
We seek the lion's share
Never knowing why
Come alive
Spread your wings and fly
Pieces of eight, the search for the money tree
Don't cash your freedoms in for gold
Pieces of eight can't buy you everything
Don't let it turn your heart to stone

Originally posted by aldra don't they lose their magnetism over time? most magnets do, generally slowly, but I've never really looked into it
Originally posted by aldra the most promising 'green' energy sources are probably geothermal and tidal, which interestingly enough get a LOT less airtime than wind turbines and solar
The tidal thing looks promising as part of a larger solution. -

Originally posted by aldra yeah, he has a point though he rambles a lot.
Wind power is inefficient for the amount of space it takes, requires a LOT of maintenance and the bit about fumes is a reference to the immense amount of pollution created in the process of extracting and refining 'rare earth' magnets like neodymium.
most 'green' technologies are only green on one side of the supply chain.
He was also touching on the fact that those wind turbines would fail economically if that industry wasn't receiving major tax funded subsidies. -

‘I never understood wind’: Trump goes on bizarre tirade against wind turbines
President’s nonsensical rambling remarks about ‘windmills’ in segment from weekend speech raised eyebrows
Richard Luscombe in Miami
“I’ve studied it better than anybody I know,” the president asserted in a bizarre segment from a weekend speech to young conservatives in West Palm Beach, Florida, close to his winter retreat at Mar-a-Lago where he is spending the holidays.
“I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. They’re noisy. They kill the birds. You want to see a bird graveyard? Go under a windmill someday. You’ll see more birds than you’ve ever seen in your life.”
Trump ripped into a range of familiar targets in a speech lasting more than one hour at the Turning Point USA student action summit, from the Democrats and House speaker Nancy Pelosi, to his recent impeachment and the so-called Never Trumpers in the Republican party who he said were “the dumbest human beings on earth”.
But it was his rambling and often nonsensical remarks about wind turbines, during a diatribe against the Green New Deal and renewable energy resources, that raised eyebrows.
“They’re made in China and Germany mostly,” Trump said of wind turbines, of which there are more than 57,000 across the US, according to the American Wind Energy Association. “But they’re manufactured tremendous if you’re into this, tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything.
“You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything, right?”
It was unclear what exactly Trump meant, or how Trump equated wind turbines converting clean air into energy to toxic fumes fouling the atmosphere. But he did share his thoughts on their appearance.
“You see all those [windmills]. They’re all different shades of color,” he said. “They’re like sort of white, but one is like an orange-white. It’s my favorite color, orange.”
The president’s “war on wind” is not new: earlier this year he was ridiculed for his claims that wind turbines destroyed property values and caused cancer from their noise.
I understood exactly what he said. But that is because I listened to him say it instead of waiting for a liberal trash reporter to say it for him. -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood Freemasons are lame as fuck you have to believe in God to join so it's just church people that need more socializing than the church.
That is not true. You do not have to believe in God. You must however have a belief in a higher power. Something that you are answerable to for your actions. That power can be anything. You can believe in the flying spaghetti monster from outer space as long as you believe you will have to answer to it for your actions in this life. -
