- Comment on Replacing forests with solar a net positive, but neighbors bear an outsized burden, study finds 1 day ago:
If I get you correctly, I totally agree with what you say. I didn’t like the tone of this article in the sense that it presents it ok to clear out forest for solar panels, and personally I believe it’s criminal, or something. I just thought it had some important info.
Thank you for giving me the chance to clarify where I stand on this.
- Comment on Replacing forests with solar a net positive, but neighbors bear an outsized burden, study finds 1 day ago:
Anything I suppose, this is why I’m asking.
I could be no, don’t cut the trees, or no, don’t talk bad about solar energy expansion, or… you name it! No?

- Comment on 4 days ago:
This is definately a project to keep an eye out and see how it goes.
If I got this right, the floaters were placed incide the breakwater. So, how can they estimate the impact of this pilot project on the actual marine life of the area (plants, fish, their migration routes, marine mammals etc).
If we consider the the term triple planetary crisis to be a valid one, then we cannot exclude the impact on the local biodiversity and ecosystems of the green energy projects, for example. It looks like in this article they are not even mentioned.

- Comment on Major banks neglect energy transition risks from mining as demand booms 1 week ago:
Ah ok, thank you for clarifying that!
- Comment on Major banks neglect energy transition risks from mining as demand booms 1 week ago:
This discussion has fundamentally very little to do with the energy transition and is more generally about destructive mining practices
What is called energy transition (I believe energy addition is a more accurate term) needs several elements that come from mining. So I am not sure I understand why you consider that mining should not be part of the conversation, since it is a necessary step.
Btw I think I don’t understand what you mean with your last sentence.

Thank you so much. Doing this immediately!

Maybe I should have specified that where I live it’s summer now, so windows are always open and will be so for many more weeks. Meaning, releasing it outside would not prevent it from coming back in.

- Comment on The rise of green tech is feeding another environmental crisis 1 month ago:
In this link, they also mention the sourcing of materials, but they don’t really talk about it. The focus is on recycling.
- Comment on The rise of green tech is feeding another environmental crisis 1 month ago:
I have the impression that in the EU what they care more about is having a constant supply and recycling. At least this was my understanding from the European Critical Raw Materials Act.
Maybe there’s another piece of legislation that tackles the issue of how these materials are mined, but I don’t know about it. So if anyone does, please share.
- Comment on repair cafes are oriented to “give you fish”, rather than “teach a man to fish” 1 month ago:
I think this depends very much on the project itself. Repair cafes are not by definition one way, or another.
For example, even tho I am not super tech-savvy, I have participated in 2 different makerspaces, in 2 different places in europe and both of these project had a very similar approach. We met weekly or bi-weekly do stuff in the workshop, and every month or so we had a repair cafe event. Some people wanted just their stuff to be fixed. Those who wanted to know more about fixing them themselfs, they were invited to attend the makerspace meetings.
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 2 months ago:
This is a video about Europe (mostly Germany and France), not the world as you asked, but I think it includes some answers to your question.
