And because we decidated vast amounts of land to these monocultures, they will soon turn to deserts. Amazing.

Agave is also a food crop in the form of syrup right?
This will be great for the green belt for sure. Specially because a lot of efforts have been made to try to retain more rain water instead of it washing of to the ocean.
It’s not that simple. The green belt for starters is not a single project but many. And it’s nowhere this big unfortunately. They are trying to, in the best scenario, prevent the desert from expanding. This event is not caused by a wall of trees, and the effects of the green belt wouldn’t appear suddenly from one year to the other. It’s probably a temporary weather anomaly or maybe it will become a regular thing like el niño.
It’s hard because people don’t want to.
And I can’t imagine the thermal accumulator + insulation would have a higher energy intensidensity than just the battery alone.
No, it wouldn’t. Nature is not a bank account where you can do debits and deposits. Because if you emit today and capture tomorrow, the carbon is still out causing harm for a day. And if you emit in a country and capture in another, the carbon would have to travel from origin to capture point. The only carbon capture that is effective is on-sight carbon capture at the place of production. No planting trees, no sucking air out of the atmosphere.
The problem is we set a target of “net zero” by <in 2 decades>. So naturally companies will do it the cheapest way that requires the least changes to their business.
We don’t need “net zero” we need “as closest to total zero as possible”.
I’m glad it’s working out and people are using the kidney instead of cutting trees to sell the wood. People could still simply continue cutting the wood and thus making a double salary - there’s no conditions to this UBi. I’m glad that it seems that this is not the case, and the results are positive so far.
Have you ever seen a staircase with 4 steps?
I’m facist and I’m proud. When dudes text me on grindr and refuse to send a face pic it’s instant block. No face no play.
I rarely see this happen in real life when people have to talk face to face, but certainly online it happens always.
We need to make Green-washing a punible offence. At the very least, companies like this one are lieing to customers who might be buying green electricity.
And you can be sure they hire just as many people in the following years.
What I’m reading is they can save 57 euros per car by not doing it, which means saving the shareholders millions.
Why are we still expecting for-profit multinationals to do what’s right just for the sake of it? Either we force them to do it through regulation, or nothing will get done.
That’s a little bit… Scary.
I disagree that what they are doing brings any negative consequence to the movement though. Most of them are kids with no real choice. They can’t join a party. Heck, most can’t even vote. All the things you said are important and they are being done.
Is this from depressing comic week?
I mean, that direction is extremely lucrative, whereas AI is extremely expensive and totally unproven to be profitable.
