1) Not absolutely true. This is a 45 ton dump truck that is currently being produced. (Fun fact, there is a site that uses this dump truck that never has to recharge the battery because it drives up a mountain empty and hauls load down the mountain so it is able to fully recharge on the way down) 2) Several EV makers already make Semi trucks that have 900kwh packs and can haul 82000 lbs for 500 miles. 3) There may be some applications where an EV is not yet practical but those applications are rare and battery technology is getting better and cheaper at an amazing rate. The nice thing about heavy machinery is they tend to be very large so there is plenty of room to put in a massive amount of batteries.

Some of you still seem to think oil is only used for gasoline for light duty vehicles, because that’s the only time you’ve physically encountered it. Expensive and scarce oil is an omnicrisis for the global economy. It cannot be replaced by electrons from solar panels.

The big worry with global warming was never that the planet couldn’t survive. There have been 5 major mass extinctions in the past 600 million years. Each time life on the planet goes on and even flourishes again. Over geologic time, temps go up and down and sea levels rise and fall. But what we are concerned about is our near term comfort and stability.

Between 2007 and 2012, scientists carried out extensive ice drilling in Greenland, aiming to uncover Earth's climate history from the last 125,000 years. Their findings put today's climate alarmism into perspective. "Back then, Greenland was around 8°C warmer than today. Sea levels were 4-8m higher." "Yet the planet didn't collapse and Greenland didn't melt. There were no tipping points and no mass extinctions." "The planet was far warmer and life flourished." Credit: @Electroversenet

@ExnerPirot @wilsonfink15 We need to pivot away from burning oil. Plastics and fertilizer can still be made. Jet fuel is a tough one. Heavy machinery and industry can be electrified.

@Jotheringman5 @Buckey2014 @PeterDClack @jbella I've been on this planet for well over sixty years. I've seen more doomsday predictions than you can shake a stick at. How many do you think came true? Again for the smart people in the room, a 30 40 degree temp swing is the climate.

We’re told we’re boiling; Geology says the world's shivering. Earth is still in the Quaternary Glaciation - 2.58 million years so far. Yet for most of the last 500 million years the Earth has been at least 10°C warmer than it is today. There weren't any polar ice caps though. Instead, there were lush biomes from pole to pole and life didn't just survive, it exploded. Pulp fiction's 'hottest years ever' relies on a tiny 175-year window in a geological world of 4.6 billion years. In the context of the late Cenozoic (the last 34 million years) a 1.4°C rise isn't a catastrophe - it’s a minor blip of life-giving warmth in a mostly icehouse world. Why the fear? Because human bureaucracy thrives on fear. By ignoring the 500-million-year baseline of earth's recent geological past, the UN has turned 'natural variability' into a climate sledge hammer for global control. If you only look at the last 175 years, the climate looks like a crisis. But if you look at the last 500 million, it looks like a two-week junket in the Bahamas. We should really be talking about 'Icehouse Earth'.

@DWalpiri Absolutely nobody thinks China is rapidly switching to wind and solar because it wants to be environmentally friendly. They are building so much wind and solar because it’s the cheapest and easiest form of energy to install.

On top of occupying and damaging South China Sea, China has been dumping human waste into these waters. That nutrient load is driving massive algal blooms, even visible from space. You’ve been fooled into thinking China is environmentally friendly because of wind and solar

This is just like data centers though. You can put a datacenter in a location with plenty of water and it’s not a big issue, or you can put it somewhere with scarce water resources and it becomes a problem. Similarly, cows are not all free range pasture grown. A lot of cows are fed grain and are raised in a much more water challenged areas.

Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram." Farmer: "That's rainfall." Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not." Activist: "It's still water consumption." Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?" Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient." Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop." Activist: "Technology..." Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?"

This is the problem with responding to climate change— it’s not an easy disaster that our chimp brains can understand like a hurricane or an earthquake. It’s a slow motion disaster on multiple fronts over a long period of time. It’s not just temperature but the disruption of weather patterns, acidification of oceans, melting of land ice. It’s not just CO2 but it’s different tipping points like methane from permafrost and albido change from melting sea ice.

@TheFemoid As per Tesla’s methodology statement, any crash that occurs within 5 seconds of autopilot disengagement is still counted as an “autopilot crash”

Wasn’t it proven that autopilot is programmed to disengage when it registers it’s about to crash? If it turns off 4 seconds before impact that means the autopilot caused the crash How are we this stupid
Nic Cruz Patane@niccruzpatane

Elon Musk confirmed via Telemetry Data that the woman driving the Cybertruck in this video disengaged the system four seconds before the crash. She was manually driving throughout this entire video. Don't believe everything you see/hear from Legacy Media about Tesla.

Batteries: The world's largest battery maker (Sungrow) can make 75GWh of batteries per year. But the world uses 60 GWh of electricity per minute! Sungrow's annual output would keep the lights on for just 75 seconds. ==> Batteries are NOT the answer to our energy problems.

lol Nuclear waste can easily be stored in steel-lined concrete casks. The photo below shows what 45 years’ of nuclear waste looks like stored at the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station in Louisa County, VA. All of the waste that has been generated in the U.S. since 1950 would take up no more than an area the size of an American football field stacked to up to a depth of 10 yards. About 95% of spent fuel is still uranium (mostly U-238), so it is recyclable, albeit the U.S. doesn’t currently recycle those “waste” products. Please learn a thing or two about topics you’re speaking about before spouting incoherent nonsense, and pulling out the “white supremacist” label (as you did in your follow-up post) that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this.

Hydrogen is the stupidest, most ridiculous, and most impossible energy alternative. It takes 5 to 10 times more energy than it returns. This has been known since 2004, yet hydrogen refuses to die. It is far from renewable because it contains no energy at all—energy must be forced into it like a battery—and you lose even more when converting it back to electricity. It has the worst energy return of any alternative: far more energy goes in than you ever get back. Consider the process: you first split hydrogen from natural gas or use far more energy to electrolyze it from water, then compress or liquefy it, build extremely expensive and short-lived steel containers and pipelines (since hydrogen embrittles them), and finally deliver it to virtually non-existent hydrogen vehicles. Fuel cell technology remains far from commercial. It is also highly explosive. Hydrogen requires 12 times less energy to ignite than gasoline vapor, so the smallest spark or heat source can turn it into a bomb.

Let’s get 1 thing straight: There is no such thing as “green” production of anything. Everything we do has an environmental cost. An electric car has less environmental cost than an ICE car over its lifespan, but it is still much higher than a bicycle, or not creating the car in the first place. Solar panels are beneficial because it allows us to generate electricity at a much lower environmental cost than if we burned fossil fuels in order to generate that electricity.

How is this "green" exactly?
Electroverse@Electroversenet

A solar panel's lifespan is just 15 to 20 years. After that, efficiency drops and it needs replacing. Each panel is built from glass, aluminum, silicone, silver, copper and polymers. While glass and aluminum can be recycled, the silicone, silver and polymers (the most mining/energy-intensive components) are rarely recovered due to the cost and difficulty involved. Because of this, the panels simply end up in landfills. By 2050, solar panel waste is estimated to hit 78 million tons, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. This is the dirty secret of 'clean' energy: short lifespan, heavy mining, and a growing toxic waste crisis.

This is demonstrably false. The scale that we have changed the chemical composition of the atmosphere cannot be understated. We have gone from around 280ppm to 424ppm. This represents nearly 1.7 trillion metric tons of CO2 dumped into the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution. About half it that was absorbed by the oceans. We are dumping about 38 billion metric tons a year currently.

Okay you seem to be ignoring a couple things: 1. We don’t control the global climate. Absolutely nothing we do with carbon or anything else will have any measurable effect on the global climate in any relevant time frame. Natural variance is noisy. Always has been. 2. Living things adapt. Always have. You may not adapt, but most living things are equipped and driven to do so. When it’s cold, buy a jacket. When it’s hot, find some shade and a source of fresh water. When hungry, go find food. We don’t control the wind or the waves, but we can steer the ship and manage the sails.

This is always the hilarious thing whenever conspiracy theorists say “follow the money” as if climate scientists stand to make some sort of enormous windfall for pushing this research. On the other side of the coin, the literal largest and most profitable companies on earth stand to benefit from climate denialism.
