Harald K.@susankayequinn I guess some of it, at a certain time of the day, probably travels through the Strait of Hormuz. But not enough to matter.
@Harald_Korneliussen haha true, but the only people who care about the photons traveling through the Strait of Hormuz are the plants/animals/beings in the Strait of Hormuz
and that's the kind of radical groundedness that can change the world
MattChippytea@susankayequinn because there is no option other than oil or gas… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn877d27gndo
Curiously all those rural homes that are not, and never will be, on the gas network do have electricity.
Brad Macpherson@Wifiwits @susankayequinn Not mention they have roofs and, in many cases, a spot of land around them that could host a PV panel or 7.
Imagine the effect turning on the money tap or shaking a few leaves from the magic money tree would have in bringing energy independence to people living in rural areas.
@susankayequinn @brad I do understand the capital outlay is too much for many, but there are creative ways around that.
@susankayequinn @brad woah there communist… where I’m from we only do that collective thing if we’re burning wood pellets imported from irreplaceable Canadian forest… or nuclear.
@susankayequinn @brad I also wish there wasn’t quite so much truth in that.
