Hell...Even Oil is renewable, just pump more!
Well if you’re out shootin’ at some food-————
The nice thing about the new stoves is that they are really efficient, because you can burn the stuff that still has a bit of unburned material, so it burns twice and leaves only a small amount of ash.
It is. We recently put a new wood stove in. It is dual fuel but we don’t have coal etc. We cut firewood during the spring and fall (to hot to cut in the summer) and can stack about 10 ricks in a woodshed. It’s just the way of life there, and we love it.
You don’t hear as much about it anymore, but “save the trees” used to be one of their cries. It was never about saving trees. Our growing economy required a steady lumber supply. They were (and are) opposed to a growing American economy. They attack anything that promotes prosperity. Wind and solar cannot keep our machine running. They know this.
Yes, that is true.
Wind mills are ugly!
True, but that can be synthesized by chemical conversion (gasification or depolymerization) of urban garage. There is PLENTY of carbon in any city's municipal garbage.
And within 20 years, we’ll have a new type of nuclear reactor—the molten-salt reactor—that will make today’s reactors totally obsolete. And that reactor uses thorium-232 as fuel, which is just as abundant as elemental lead!
Nope. Industrial production of plastic uses natural gas (ethane mostly) as feedstock, not the heavy hydrocarbons that comprise refinery waste.
Not just plain ugly.....Michelle Obama ugly.
“Hygrogen can be made from water”
Don’t forget that it takes more energy to separate the hydrogen and oxygen than you get back when you burn the hydrogen.
Where do you get that energy? At best, hydrogen is a means to store energy not a source...
I have 12 acres in NH and could probably keep a wood stove going just from the trees that die/fall down etc. However, after burning wood at the former residence for 16 years we put in a Harman Pellet insert. It is so much easier and less messy. Plus, I clean it once a week.
That’s the attitude!
I bought a couple of bags of coal at Tractor Supply, and watched a couple of youtube videos... I’m probably not smart enough to really make that burn right.
I hate them with a passion. We should spike them like the elf assclowns do with trees. But, cutting them down can be hazardous. ;-) Found some in the middle of BFE Nevada on a road trip last summer. Disgusting and ruined my “view shed” of the vista.
DOH!
Exactly. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted. "Renewing" energy is, at the very least, a misnomer. At worst, it is propaganda.
Your post 7: Agree
Hydrocarbons are renewable and are renewing at this very moment while I’m tapping this out. They are doing so in a vastly shorter time frame than what we’ve been told.
