We haven't put much effort in to this yet, but I'm sure much can be reclaimed for future use
That's something we should have been working on for the last 40 years, instead of assuming that windmills would meet our needs.
Need to make sure they understand our no return policy.
Exactly! So, which of the above is a bubble?
You are right. The way to sequester carbon using trees is to log them and mill them into durable wood products, like houses, furniture, and disposable diapers. All those poopy pads in the landfills must have sequestered billions of tons of carbon by now.
Refusing to reprocess spent fuel rods is a political decision, not a practical one. They are terrified someone will refine the plutonium in the spent rods and make a bomb. That's cold war paranoia, not a practical consideration. Or, they could go to thorium fast breeders that don't make plutonium at all.
Only time will tell which that will be. The companies which are old and set in their ways; or those who have produced little or no product and are only showing profits based on dreams.
I lived right next to the Columbia river. The log trains running along the river were seemingly endless.
Fortunately my power rarely goes out for long here. The last time it was off, for a couple of hours, I had to drive an extra 45 miles round trip to gas up my pickup, as the local general store didn't have anybody there who could start their generator... just one reason I try not to let the tank get below 1/2.
Good practice..... I do the same.
As much as I dislike Tesla, this is in no way unique to them. Just another major problem waiting to happen in this day of "connected" cars.
The article also says Tesla provides a key with the car that would have made the car functional even with the app out but most owners leave the key at home and rely on the app....
