Renewable energy?....not so renewable.

Climate changes. No need to go into that. Nothing man does or can do can change it. Climate change is a scam.

its only geezus freaks who are promoting THAT line of foolery...

Climate changes. No need to go into that. Nothing man does or can do can change it. Climate change is a scam.

There are eight billion people on earth burning through fossil fuels, cutting down trees and using up all other resources at the fastest rate in history. We have turned forests into concrete jungles and oceans into sewers.

Look around and tell me human industrialisation on such a huge scale is having no impact on the planet. The only "scam" is that we can continue to rape the earth with no consequence.

Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, appeal to common sense, or the divine fallacy,[1] is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs; or is difficult to imagine.

Arguments from incredulity can take the form:

1. I cannot imagine how F could be true; therefore F must be false.
2. I cannot imagine how F could be false; therefore F must be true.

Canon has developed a material for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels that does not use rare metals, Nikkei reported. From the report:

This move comes as the Japanese company aims to reduce its dependence on major rare metal producers such as those in China. Canon plans to commercialize the technology within a few years, paving the way for securing stable production without being affected by geopolitical risks. The new material is quantum dots (QD), tiny semiconductor particles with a diameter of 1 nanometer. When irradiated with light or injected with an electric current, the particles emit vivid colors.

Other quantum dots are already used for high-end OLED televisions. Samsung Electronics mass-produces quantum dots, but it uses the compound indium phosphide. Indium is a rare metal produced in extremely small quantities, with China being the major source. Canon's new material uses lead, which is easily procured from recycled raw materials in "urban mines." Canon aims to commercialize the material in the mid-2020s by establishing technology for mass production. Canon uses lead in some of its compounds as a substitute for indium. Lead usually leads to results that are less durable than with indium, but by leveraging its expertise in compounding materials such as toner and ink for office equipment, the company has devised a compound that is as durable as indium.

Nuclear Now is a 2022 American documentary film, directed and co-written by Oliver Stone. The movie advertises nuclear energy as a solution needed to fight climate change.

The movie is based on the book A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow written by the US scientists Joshua S. Goldstein and Staffan A. Qvist. Goldstein co-authored the screenplay together with Oliver Stone

one think you can say about stone is he really does his homework and its demanded anytime your going to be releasing something like this...

a report from Smithsonian:
With a new technique, scientists have essentially figured out how to create power from thin air. Their tiny device generates electricity from the air's humidity, and it can be made from nearly any substance, scientists reported this month in the journal Advanced Materials. The invention involves two electrodes and a thin layer of material, which must be covered with tiny holes less than 100 nanometers in diameter -- thinner than one-thousandth the width of a human hair, according to a statement from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where the researchers work.

As water molecules pass through the device, from an upper chamber to a lower chamber, they knock against the tiny holes' edges, creating an electric charge imbalance between the layered chambers. In effect, it makes the device run like a battery. The whole process resembles the way clouds make electricity, which we see in the form of lightning bolts, according to Inverse's Molly Glick. [...] Currently, the fingernail-sized device can only create continuous electricity equivalent to a fraction of a volt, writes Vice's Becky Ferreira. But the researchers hope it can someday become a practical, sustainable source of power.

Scientists have previously tried harnessing humidity to generate electricity, but their attempts have often only worked for a short amount of time or relied on expensive materials, per Vice. In 2020, Yao and other researchers found a way to continuously collect electricity from humidity using a material grown from bacteria. But now, the new paper shows that such a specific material isn't necessary -- just about any material works, such as wood or silicon, as long as it can be punctured with the ultra-small holes. This finding makes the device much more practical; it "turns an initially narrow window to a wide-open door for broad potential," Yao tells Vice.

ive a battery 7and a quarter inch 'skilsaws'
its under powered when i have to cut rips in 2x material
and its heavier that my plug in with a 4 amp battery in
and theres room for a 6 amp
mabe i better buy that battery an see what difference it makes

it seriously choked on me as i needed to rip 20 feet of 2x6 building forms for concrete pads

really disappointed at that documentarian of kennedys assination falling for the idea that nuclear is the answer

the numbers of reactors their plan needs would require oceans of yellow cake and other ores they can fine uranium in

there is no way to mine this stuff that doesnt mean gross poisoning of the workers doing the job an the millions living downwind of this travesty

and theirs NO WAY your not going to get critical meltdowns of reactors if you build the many that are needed for you plan to supposedly susceed.

face it,
pro nuke power is fool and morally outrageous...
