Analyses' of the full production chain have shown, that producing six liters of diesel consumes about 45 kWh of electricity.

Six liters of diesel power the most efficient combustion cars for something like 100 km.

The energy just needed to produce these six liters of diesel would power most recent battery electric cars for up to 300 km.

Go figure.

@Crell Melon Tusk, the 'green tech innovator' of electric cars, solar roofs, and batteries solved the AI draining the grid problem by illegally running a bunch of heavy polluting gas generators. Everything is ok now.

Green or Not So Green? The Diesel Secret Behind Tesla's Largest Supercharger - Vehiclesuggest

Tesla is setting the gold standard for innovation, performance, and most notably, sustainability. Tesla’s Supercharger network is often cited as a testament to its commitment to making green technology accessible and convenient. However, a recent revelation has cast a shadow over Tesla’s eco-friendly image. One of the company’s largest and most celebrated Supercharger stations located […]

@Crell Any house that needs AC is somewhere hot, right? Or it wouldn't need AC in the first place?

So there's at least some sunshine, right? Or it wouldn't be hot?

So the AC is powered by the house's own solar panels, right? Because there is no conceivable reason why not. So, why should the city care how much you run your AC? You'll just be exporting a bit less power, on a day when there's more than enough power to go around anyway.

@TimWardCam @Crell great for 'houses', sure. But if you're in a multi storey building you don't have enough roof for panels for everybody's cooling.

@TimWardCam @Crell friendly reminder that most people in cities rent our homes and many of us (probably most idk) live in apartment buildings 😕 I'd use solar panels if I could

@mtconleyuk @raphaelmorgan @Crell My answer to that (I've been in the planning business as a councillor) is "if you want to keep your view the same then all you have to do is buy it and refrain from developing it (and hope that you don't get CPOd because development is in the overriding public interest.)"

@raphaelmorgan @TimWardCam @Crell in Germany it is popular to use small portable solar panels in windows and on balconies and plug them into the nearest electrical socket. I don't know what it requires of the wiring in an apartment, so might not be possible for everyone.

Morgan ⚧️Jun 20

@Laust @TimWardCam @Crell that's something I've considered! I'd have to save up for it and do more research though, so right now I'd rather pay the extra 25 cents or whatever to use renewable energy from the company

@raphaelmorgan @Laust @TimWardCam

Technology Connections has argued that self hosted solar is actually bad for the grid, as it undermines revenue needed to maintain the wires, even if they're just a backup for you.

Certainly grid scale solar/wind is more efficient. My city bulk buys from a green provider rather than the incumbent company, so our electrons are already green.

@TimWardCam That assumes everyone has their own rooftop solar farm. While a lovely idea the future, it is not even slightly where we are today.

This is why I say all new housing should be required to have power generating capability. Maybe geothermal for apartments instead, or both.

"No conceivable reason"

- People who live in apartments
- People who don't own
- People who don't have the $18K-$40k+ solar panels cost to install

Hope that helps!

Take AI offline?

I have a housemate who insists on showing me AI YouTube videos. I've stopped protesting and simply leave the room.

It's funny how fiercely people will pressure others to enjoy some bullspit they know is harmful, but don't want to admit is harmful. This AI spit from a man who typically would despise things that prevent people from having their basic needs met. It hurts my head, heart, and soul.
