- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 day ago:
Only because genocidal zionazi supremacists control the us, and by extension g7+nato, Iran should not pursue nuclear energy, because Israel would always accuse them of pursuing more. There is no economic value for nuclear energy. Solar + batteries much more effective.
Still, negotiations to that end are far more human. I wouldn’t want you to have nuclear weapons, but killing you should have a better reason Than my supremacy.
- Comment on no way right 2 days ago:
FYI, Israelis aren’t allowed to leave Israel now, because playing the victim card requires using them as human shields. 9/11 was greatest US empire boost over Americans in history, and DNC firmly backs war and empire enslavement of Americans.
- Comment on U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse 3 days ago:
This generally means a small solar system. Cost per watt is higher than larger systems.
- Comment on U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse 3 days ago:
The United States may find a path forward by pursuing market conditions like Australia, where over 40% of homes in some regions have rooftop solar. Soft costs are far lower in the nation, and average residential solar installation cost was $0.89 per W, more than $2.00 per W cheaper than both Canada and the United States.
That path requires oligarchist monopoly utilities to have less influence on oligarchist political parties. Biden’s approach of creating a new green energy manufacturing oligarchy protection doesn’t help with low prices that could be achieved if main utility monopoly obstruction to home solar were removed. FF Oligarchy assists utility monopolies in their lobbying for centralized power production. It is not within US political corruption overton window to help citizens escape extortion.

- Comment on Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing 5 days ago:
H2 makes the best long term electrical storage, because not only is it more efficient than other cheap alternatives, it can be even more efficient with heat use, and it is economically transportable/exportable and so is not capped by utilization/capacity constraints.
heat storage is extremely useful for complementing winter solar in low winter sun places. Including at small scale. Hydronic floor heating is most efficient use of heat. Heat pumps can very efficiently gain 30C of temperature gain. Sand and construction waste box with water pipes, and heat resistors, flowing through it, can store heat well above 100C that water doesn’t ineffienctly. 2000 liters of just water is sufficient in most locations with a fireplace or EV backup, but sand/dirt/gypsum of 500L to 1000L significantly boosts resilence and heat capacity.
- Comment on Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing 6 days ago:
efficient because heat is used for heat. (district heating system). getting electricity from heat is relatively inefficient. Stacked blocks are relatively efficient but concerns over wind resistance.

- Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? 1 week ago:
70/30 this is right. Too many in middle east are friends to US to side too hard with Iran. Only Russia is a strong enough ally to destroy Tel Aviv, but most of US approaches to Russia have involved US statements that “Russia agrees that Iran should never have nuclear weapons” which means it is their primary concern with Russia discussions, even though Russia never mentions it in their statements.
Tolerance for Israel seems high, and world seems to have bigger priorities.
- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 1 week ago:
Probably double speak. in 2024 election cycle he tried to say he wasn’t picking sides but in same sentence “but democrats cultural marxist wokeness must stop”. Zionist oligarchs turn on liberal values is that being anti genocide is woke.

- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 1 week ago:
Alex Karp, founder, CEO, and majority shareholder of Palantir, is an ultra-zionist genocide supporter who has repeatedly advocated for pre-emptive murder of anyone (foreign) who does not obey the US empire. He does this in ordinary business news interviews.
As one of the leading companies seeking funding for Skynet, and universal CIA media unanimity on the importance that the US be dominant/first in race to develop Skynet. AGI/Skynet can be programmed to serve any supremacist ideology other than machines, and US empire and CIA aligned oligarchy supremacism is as much your enemy as robot supremacism.
AI, like mainstream media, and reddit/lemmy news, politics, world subs are CIA/empire allegiant. Brainwashing your warmongering support is their agenda. Skynet is far more power maximizing than UBI utopia.

- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 2 weeks ago:
The US joined the war in Europe as a war on USSR. To limit their gains. Colonizing the western part.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 2 weeks ago:
It’s Britain who has been at war with Russia for 80 years. Ironically, the only reason was to stay on the good side of its colonist emperor, and be its favorite. That British society is entirely programed to CIA/MI6 Russophobia doesn’t stop when Daddy slaps them. Just got to work harder for daddy’s love, is only political position in Overton window instead of pursuing best relations for citizens.
- Comment on If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better? 2 weeks ago:
Plastic is not a climate problem. Ocean pollution is mainly fishing nets. There is a garbage problem that automation can help with recycling. Making fishing nets out of cotton instead of nylon would be a big improvment.
Wood and paper is a renewable resource that could be used more. Global warming is especially a threat to vast northern forests with fire that are paper sources, while also permitting more/bigger tree growth in the regions. Harvesting trees is a solution to fires, and more demand an incentive to prevent fires.
Manufacturing with compressed sawdust could be a cost competitive alternative to plastic, but the binder could make the wood product less recyclable.

- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 3 weeks ago:
bio fuels are not scalable. Much more solar energy (15x+ factor) is created by PV than by ethanol per area, and more efficiently turned into H2 (or e kerosene, btw) than the bio route. Bio route is airline PR to do something, but would make food scarce at scale.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 3 weeks ago:
300atm compressed H2 has more energy than batteries. 1500wh/L electric. 2.5kwh/L heat. LH2 is equivalent to 1100atm compressed. LH2 is right for aviation because the tanks are light/simple, and they are filled shortly before takeoff. It’s a big weight savings over kerosene.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 3 weeks ago:
Article says whole system is 1000wh/kg (including support machinery). There are 5 (including intermediate step) reactions of air and sodium. I’d guess they are using 100% humidity air. H2 is part of the reaction with humidity, and is a much more rapid and “exothermic” reaction than transformation to SaO.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 3 weeks ago:
Hydrogen is clean electrolysis too. Would cost less.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 3 weeks ago:
1200 Wh / kg of sodium
That is about the H2 energy release from sodium reacting with water (perhaps just humidity in air).
however gasoline is a whole 3800 Wh / kg
H2 has 33000wh/kg, and so if you were starting with sodium, might as well pour water on it on the ground, and fill the plane up with automatic high pressure H2.
There are no emissions other than water vapour from the sodium process because the reaction leaves solid byproducts other than H2.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 3 weeks ago:
It’s a red flag that they don’t compare to H2, which has significant aviation FC prospects/research, and has even higher energy density by weight, and the advantage of exhausting water vapour and so fuel weight goes down during trip.
Sodium is also produced by electrolysis. It can make a lot of H2 and heat by reacting with water. In fact, the reaction of 1 ton makes 1.8mwh of heat, + 1.4mwh of H2 heat value (900kwh electric), where hot H2 might have extra energy potential for electricity or combustion (not sure).
Sodium metal costs $2000/ton. Reaction with water makes 42kg of H2, and so about $46/kg of H2 is too high. The heat would improve the efficiency of SOFCs (described matches article) by getting the heat for free, and maybe 1.2mwh/ton electric. SOFCs have always had the advantage of working with polluted fuel blends.
Perhaps if sodium or H2 production was combined with desalination process, then cost of green sodium or H2 could be lowered.
