Key context: thermodynamics dictates that heat engines waste a lot of energy.

- A single journey by 1 large container ship of solar photovoltaic modules
Numbers from here
> The theoretical carrying capacity of vessels for different energy sources and clean energy technologies varies enormously (Table 5.2). Of all fossil fuels, oil can be most easily transported, with a single large vessel able to carry roughly 1 700 GWh of energy – equivalent to the yearly oil consumption of roughly 175 000 internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. Among clean energy technologies, roughly 2 GW of solar PV modules could fit in a single container ship – roughly equivalent to Belgium’s solar PV capacity additions in 2023. But solar PV modules are capital goods, while fossil fuels are consumable. That number of modules would be able to generate electricity equivalent to the needs of half a million European households for the duration of the modules’ lifetime – roughly a quarter of a century. On the contrary, an LNG vessel carrying the equivalent amount of energy would satisfy that electricity demand for less than six months
- Remember the employees of Impact Plastics
As Hurricane Milton prepares to circumcise the United States, please remember your job isn't worth it. If your area is under an evacuation order, please evacuate, even if your shitty job is telling you to stay and show up for work. Please stay safe.
- Precisely the problem
Yes, logos are designed to be remembered, but that's not the point. We are so hopelessly out of touch with nature. How can we protect something we don't understand and don't value?
