Why Are We Fueling Our Own Extinction?

Well you, Madwitch and Moonshi'ite seem to care. Let it be known that nothing you say will stop me pointing out the truth, if you don't like that then kindly fuck off, there's a good chap!!

The Church of Global Warming is not a proof. Circular argument fallacy (fundamentalism).

Nuclear is renewable. For example using Thorium 232 in a breeder reactor creates Uranium 233 which is fissionable, thus creating more fuel.

That is not renewable. You are forgetting further reactions, which will eventually destroy the fuel.

It's meant as a turn of phrase.

It is a garbage phrase. No energy source comes from fossils. Fossils don't burn.

In a sense, the organic portion of diatoms form new carbon fuels and their skeletons remain behind so...

No. Fossils don't burn.

Oil is a renewable fuel. Natural gas is a renewable fuel. The Earth has conditions naturally underground that continually form oil and natural gas, and rather quickly too. The entire Earth is a giant Fischer-Tropsche reactor. All you gotta do is drill for it.
T. A. Gardner said:
Energy sources can be rated on their relative output by atomic weight for example, and then by how much it costs in the life cycle of the product to get that energy out. So, yes you could scale and rate sources and come up with a "best" one on that basis.

Not a valid basis for all applications.

Manipulation of energy markets is fascism.

The Woke have decided that fossil fuel producers must be defunded.

There was of course no vote, these are Regressives after all!

Lithium is not a practical fuel.
Batteries are not a fuel.
There is nothing wrong with carbon. It is a cheap fuel.
Hydrogen is a weak fuel. It is also expensive to produce, and requires a lot more energy to produce it than you get out of it.
Ammonia is a dangerous gas. Depending on what reacts with it, you can produce some really dangerous salts. Some are explosive, sensitive to shock, friction, or even a little heat.

Since you have no mind and just spend your time cutting and pasting, you wouldn't understand any of this.

I have a degree in chemistry and understand thermodynamics which you clearly don't. The economics of hydrogen are rapidly changing, it will no longer be transported long distances but will use liquid ammonia to ship via bulk carriers from places like Australia. There are also huge advances in the use of graphene and catalysts to produce green hydrogen or used directly in fuel cells.

Ammonia is the second-most-widely produced commodity chemical globally, with an annual production volume of over 180 million tonnes, 20 million tonnes produced in the EU, and with approximately 20 million tons traded each year. Ammonia is mostly utilised in agriculture at present, with 80% of global ammonia production going into fertiliser and 20% into industrial products.

Please stop spouting bollocks and grows a clue.

Did you ban Katzgar from this Thread? Or is it some kind of 'Computer Glitch'?

Jack, I was wondering about Katzgar myself, I see that he's been banned on almost all threads, but there been has no announcement by any of the mods.

I heard thru the grapevine that Billy and Katzgar had a bet ... and that Katzgar lost. :(

Wife works for Anchorage Sand and Gravel, a construction supply company and subsidiary of Knife River Corporation, publicly traded.
They have a full time safety manager whose responsibility is to insure the company complies with EPA regulations.
They also have mandatory weekly safety meetings Friday mornings.
What corporations that you know of are getting away with noncompliance? Provide a link to verify your claim.
Or STFU.

PG&E learned their lesson.

Because most CEOs of the big corporations are sociopaths
