Fire that consumes hydrocarbon fuels and oxygen liberates CO2. So yeah. Gasoline, diesel, natural gas, wood chips, all hydrocarbon fuels. NO SUCH THING as ‘green’ wood burning.
I think NYT is correct in this sense: I haven’t heard Harris herself say much about ‘climate change’ let alone ‘global warming’.
We all get that. Candidates tend to stay away from talking about stuff that makes people feel bad because it sticks to them. But I’ve not heard her even address expanding renewables as rapidly as possible, or even heat pumps. No doubt that’s the advice she’s getting. One reason is that the cars we’re driving are a major source of CO2. Nobody’s touching that elephant.
I was in the tunnel, not the steam pipes running through the tunnel.
The steam tunnel system under that big midwestern university. Once in, it led underneath most every building on the campus. There are many other mysteries hidden in the underground -everywhere-.
Legislators this year already are trying to tackle the rising costs of electricity.
Considering CA’s widespread use of the now-cheapest sources of electricity, it’s more than ironic that costs to consumers are rising. Somebody needs to take a -very close- look at that.
Another question for CA: are data centers required to be carbon-neutral or else ? Will they thriving on the savings created by people driving EVs? Will their demands result in higher prices for everyone?
Because you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time … and they’ve been at it for a very long time.
Looks like a lousy bet.
"Hydrogen can be produced by several means. Most hydrogen produced today is gray hydrogen, made from natural gas through steam methane reforming (SMR). This process accounted for 1.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. Low-carbon hydrogen, which is made using SMR with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen), or through electrolysis of water using renewable power (green hydrogen), accounted for less than 1% of production. “Virtually all of the 100 million tonnes[5] of hydrogen produced each year is used in oil refining (43% in 2021) and industry (57%)”

Once again, the impact of subsidized industries is accidentally underestimated.
“We made a promise we had no idea how we were going to keep. But it seemed like good PR at the time. And people kept flying in our planes.”
They’ve already got more ‘little people’ than they need
Neat video about a remarkable home. Starting in 1906! 10 acres! … inspired by the catacombs of Rome … subterranean fish pond … I’m not much of a tourist but it’d be great to see this, wow.
Reminds me of another India beat-the-heat tech that I read was widespread there for centuries.
Those who’ve ever been in a root cellar or basement are excused. You make a hole in the ground, then go down in it. Underground temperatures world-wide hover around 50-60 degrees all year long.
Make a BIG hole in the ground, and build stairs that people can use to go down into it. Heat rises, so not a problem.
Totally agreed … IF you plant a tree, and let it grow, then pellitize and transport it in a green way, then burning it won’t release more hydrocarbons than it accumlated.
