Guy on Fox Weather earlier said the heat in Greece was 103 degrees, causing many exhibits to close, and that "the oppressive heat was testing the limits of human survival".
Those people have clearly never been to Texas in July/August.

Just wait till the dead of winter when those same EV's wont charge cause its too damn cold.

Or when they finally realize how much the mines for the battery components destroy the environment and the electricity to charge those EV’s usually comes from coal plants, natural gas plants, and etc. lmao.
Next climate crisis will be drinking water from seepage from millions of batteries

Looks at Texans freaking out when they get a skiff of snow at 32 degrees, and cant figure out why they have issues with tshirt weather...

Vacation booked. Not doing obx this year for the first time in a decade. Staying closer to home and got a nice place in the poconos.

Because last time we got "snow" it broke the world and we had no power for nearly two weeks. Conversely, no one here can drive with any amount of precipitation at all.
Conversely, their answer to a ufcked up electric grid is for the commiefornia imports to push electric cars and green energy.
We had no blackouts or issues when we had numerous coal plants.
r/ufck them turbines and solar farms, gimme nuclear power and the electricity i pay for

That looked more fun in the snow! Yikes! Is this what you do when everyone tells you that you are going to get eaten by wolves or bears so just enjoy yourself til it happens?

They did mention human survival. Texas is many things but never heard it called the cradle of civilization
Don’t blame me I voted for Kanye
The Tina swear filter thing cracked me up too

Totally agree on nuclear. We need so much of that right now. The percentage of toxic byproduct per KW/h is infanteccimal compared to the emissions put off by coal and gas power plants.
The problem is, all people see is 3-Mile Island and Chernobyl. Nuclear scary. Kill everyone. Bad. And the fossil fuel industry is more than happy to push that narrative.
Disagree on renewables tho. Having that extra capacity can't hurt anyone and once you get past the equipment cost & maintenance (which every power plant has) , it's free energy.

I was gonna say, it depends on the renewable and how it is implemented, but I guess technically that applies to everything...
Agree on Nuclear, though. TMI is fun when you look at how little radiation actually made it to the environment. And then compare that to the naturally-occurring background radiation of higher-altitude cities....
And Chernobyl was fun in that they basically had to disable a significant number of safety features to do their test that made it go boom.
One consideration that a bunch of people miss in this is the impact it has on health. Id love for no/low emission vehicles to become normal, have battery tech good enough for most people to daily. My wife has asthma, and calm, cooler days where the air just sits can be terrible for her. At least with gas/coal backed power charging batteries moves the pollution to one central area, rather than having it spread through the entire city, even if it isnt actually decreasing total emissions.

Not only Chernobyl, and TMI and fukishima, but the threat of using the 6 plants in the Ukraine as possible dirty bombs. Cripple the grid and you have the country. As a possible source... eliminate all roofs on housing and use only solar panels. There is so much "wasted" space that the largest solar farm in the US is being overlooked - house roofs. Put panels/solar shingles on my house, maintain them, go for it, but I'm not paying several thousand dollars out of pocket for little return. My GF has panels on her roof and it will take 5-7 years for them to pay for themselves. In the mean time she is paying for them.

Yeah if you can't outright buy the solar, there's no benefit personally. Which is why I haven't done it yet. But to your point, make EVERY house a solar plant. I like that idea.

No no, I like renewables. 100% think its a thing.
But not a primary power source, more a supplemental.
And yes, everytime I start talking nuclear, someone asks me if I saw the Chernobyl documentary. Like nuclear power hasn't advanced since the 80s.
