Or "The version of thermodynamics that we're currently using is shit" so let's ignore it and pretend technology will liberate us from its laws and provide us with free H2.

Another sleazy car salesman tactic is time pressure: take this deal now before it expires.

Just refuse to decide when they force you to, leave at a 90 degree angle, and you will prevail.

Monitoring the sun's output ? Yes, maybe in the last century.

However the time constant of the ocean heat content vastly exceeds that timeframe, and the yearly millikelvin delta of seawater temperature must be the effect of a net solar input / planck output imbalance that has been there for millennia.

A multiple kilometers thick ice mass melted between 20kya and now due to this persistent energy imbalance. Warming will continue until planck energy out again and asymptotically equals or exceeds solar energy in.

If you see 'tipping point' in an article, you can be sure it's BS.

If there were tipping points, the system would have settled already a long time ago just like an opamp clamping to a reel.

All 'Currently unavailable' and way more expensive.

That said, Amazon has treated Kindle users well overall.

And it increases costs massively, since you need a 100% parallel backup infrastructure capable of running whenever for as long as required.

I'd love to see you store enough hot water on your premises during 6 months to fulfill winter demand with summer production. It's not the day cycle that's the challenge, it's the seasons (google it if you haven't heard about them).

Err, 'some low availability' during winter days is called an emergency. Also I'd rather not spend my time micromanaging every joule outside the rare goldilocks days of plenty. Call me old-fashioned.

Because they're dumb ? Europe is infested by virtue signalers.

I need hot water in the winter when the tap water is ice cold, not in the summer when it is lukewarm. Solar provides hot water in summer when I don't need it, but gives nothing in the winter. Talk about a mismatch.

You will find that renewables are very cheap 15% of the time when the sun shines brightly and/or there is a stiff breeze. Try to fully cover the remaining 85% with renewables too and you will find that it becomes *extremely* expensive.

How would you extract any money out of a crypto shutdown ? Crypto contains nothing of value. The calculations done at great sunk cost are useless and worthless for any other purpose post shutdown.

In degrees Rankine ?

"lens flair", is that when something looks better on camera than irl ?

"decolonization - should have been decarbonization"

It doesn't even matter.
