Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs
Omniraptor@lemm.ee 5 months agoGermany voluntarily divested from Russian gas for political reasons. If Germany was run by more “rationally greedy” business men I’m sure Russia would have happily kept trading with them despite the war. It’s probably why certain mysterious actors cut off nord stream 2, to make sure Germany’s moral compass would not falter in the future either

Fossil fuels are the underpinning of industrial civilization. It was fossil fuels that made the industrial revolution possible, it wasn’t solar panels, and wind turbines, or heavy, giant batteries.

I don’t understand what your point is here? Fossil fuels were instrumental in the industrial revolution so we have to stick by them forever, planet and people’s health benefits damned?
Nah. Use the most appropriate tech available. Which is now renewables, electric motors, etc.

It was water power dude. Water and Windmills started the industrial revolution. We’ve just been finding better ways to spin electric generator motors since then.

Explain to the forum how water generates power. This should be funny.

In my country, it was mostly large dams and hydroelectricity. But they have their own issues.
