Paradigm Shift! The future is now.

Doesn't mean it can't be polluted.

Furthermore mass is only conserved in a closed system.

I have plenty if fresh spring water. I don't care about you

Kind of like your circular thinking.

I am well aware of your misanthropic tendendcies.

I didn't say it wasn't evaporation, it is simply an imprecise definition.

What could be more precise than "evaporation"?

 

[Rune]

What could be more precise than "evaporation"?

Evaporation is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Solar Distillation which I am describing occurs in a man made system.

Hence for the sake of this argument, solar distillation is more precise.

 

[MAGA MAN]

Distillation is an evaporation process.

1000 watts per square meter of sunlight strikes the Earth on average. The vast majority of our energy comes from the sun. Why not skip all the middlemen?

What is that in kilowatthours? 1000 watts per square meter of sunlight strikes the Earth tells me nothing, that could be since the dawn of time for all I know.

As recovering technology moves along we'll find more oil. We'll also find alternate lubricants. The efficiency of motive transport will increase dramatically with technology, reducing the need for fuels. The world population will mimic what is happening in Europe and eventually decline.

Government can't affect any of this without restricting markets and personal freedoms, yet the free market can. Why do you hate freedom so much?

When you're freedom threatens to kill my children, I threaten to kill you.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

I don't deny that electric cars could be part of the solution. My position is that the market should decide, not some asshole judge.

Fuck the market. We need to abolish the US and establish a workers republic.

With a gun?

 

[Airstrip One]

Fuck the market. We need to abolish the US and establish a workers republic.

Which will immediately collapse into a reign of terror and will eventually fall to a US reborn. Why bother with cycles?

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

What a bogus story. Fuck Minnesota. I hope they freeze to death

because they chose to get their energy in a different way than you prefer?

Given that, it would take roughly 496,805 kilometers of solar installations to power the entire world. This is roughly the size of California.

1.21 gigawatts

In response, I fart in your general direction.

Clearly we could be entirely free of fossil fuels by 2030 without even relying entirely upon solar;

No we won't.

 

[Rune]

No we won't.

But we could. Your kind is dying off. Young people are more open minded than many generations past.
I agree the will is not there now, and too many fat bastards profit too readily from the easy flow of oil but we must consider the long range implications.

It is time that Oil Companies become Energy Companies. They can keep their sticky fingers in the pie but they must make very real investments in green power or become irrelevant.
