Even under ideal conditions, efuels are still very energy intensive. It’s also interesting that the biggest advocates for efuel adoption are oil companies.

Critics highlight that manufacturing e-fuels is very expensive and energy-intensive. Using e-fuels in an ICE car requires about five times more renewable electricity than running a battery-electric vehicle, according to a 2021 paper in the Nature Climate Change journal.

Some policymakers also argue that e-fuels should be reserved for hard-to-decarbonise sectors such as shipping and aviation - which, unlike passenger cars, cannot easily run on electric batteries.

You also should try to elaborate on what it means to “cheat” because it sounds like you are just making up a Boogeyman after listening to too much Fox News.

Dude, I have no idea what gave you the impression that I was confused about any of what you just said.

The commenter above me struggled to understand the article and thought that the author was trying to convince individuals to abandon their existing mortgages or to stop refinancing them when lower rates justify the cost of doing so.

The article isn’t suggesting that home owners should shoot themselves in the foot by giving up their great fixed rates. They are saying that the incentives are backwards and the system is unfair.

People are less likely to move right now and those who need to buy right now are punished for it. A system that was more fair would spread the pain of high inflation to everyone and even make combating runaway inflation easier. At the moment, the high rates have basically no impact on those (like you and me) who were lucky enough to buy or refi in 2021.

Their user base has grown tremendously since they dropped support for SMS. Just read the article.

That machine he built will not be anything close to worthless after 6.6 years. I literally just last week moved my spare 1080 ti into a second gaming computer. It came out in 2017.

This could be better than the current situation but I could imagine a lot of side effects to that system. Maybe if there was a lower threshold that had to be met so we couldn’t have situations where someone with 20 votes wins.

You are misquoting the comment above yours. The title of this post is an example of a member trying to exclude himself from the rottenness of the party.

It isn’t immutable. There are already 27 amendments.

Lemmy sure attracts some fucking characters. The guy simply pointed out that stealing isn’t justified by a 60-second wait. And you are jumping in here ranting about the price of steak for some reason. You’re not Robin Hood. You’re just a dumbass with a keyboard.
