Climate@slrpnk.net•As Oil Prices Spike, Talk of ‘Demand Destruction’ Sets In | The decades-old term refers to the sustained loss of demand for a commodity, caused by high prices.7·3 天前Europe and Asia are rapidly rejecting oil for transportation and I doubt it will ever come back.

Climate@slrpnk.net•NYT, WSJ podcasts promote pro-drilling ads by top US oil lobby API.2·3 天前If they can’t work with the high prices Trump created with his war, they can’t work with anything.
I hope they enjoy the long-term global demand destruction.
Yes, on the first screen it is an absolute total. On the second it is a percentage share.
So if something is growing, but slower than the growth of the rest, its share is declining.

Green Energy@slrpnk.net•California Senate passes plug-in solar bill
5·16 天前Then go to your HOA meeting and speak for amending the bylaws to allow them. It doesn’t take much to get changes.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Toronto's Highway 401. Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦English
21·17 天前Metro Toronto is a disappointment. It should be have been doubling its subway network every 20 years. Instead it shut down a line, added a few stations on another, and built LRT that’s slower than the bus it replaced.
It needs express subway tracks, GO with 10 minutes headways, and transit oriented development able to house 10k people within a ten minute walk of every GO stop which means zoning for density,
Pay for it by owning the land around stations like HK or Singapore and leasing it to developers for 40 story affordable apartments, increasing the gasoline tax, and putting tolls on the 401 and Gardiner.
Toronto is a transportation nightmare. It’s time to adopt successful models from Asia to make transit fast, convenient, and cheap while making driving fast, convenient, and incredibly expensive. Fill in with protected bike lanes and the city will be liveable and affordable with great air quality

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Everyone always forgets that the Genie takes your wish literally
4·22 天前That is a Ayam Cemani. They are an entirely black Indonesian chicken breed that is the most expensive to buy in the United States. Their meat is supposedly higher in protein, and also entirely black.

Climate@slrpnk.net•US and Iran are world’s only major emitters [of greenhouse gases] without net-zero targets41·23 天前Iran is a sovereign country able to set their own targets. They are members of the IPCC but deliberately chose non-participation for 15 years up to 2023. Furthermore, they had unfettered access to Chinese solar panels and wind turbines until recently. As they are the main supplier of oil for Chinese teapot refineries, trade for solar panels would have been simple.
Iran bears full responsibility for their outlier status no different than the current US regime.

Climate@slrpnk.net•How do I invest in green tech initiatives and companies?4·24 天前Private investment almost invariably has negative returns, and even ESG ETFs are sketchy as you note.
As others have written, for positive returns, focus on capital investments in your own life. I have a solar subscription with a 10% IRR and recently replaced my pool pump with a variable speed one: $2,000 installed that saves $300/annum with an average lifespan of ten years for an 8.1% IRR.
Go solar. Replace your gas heat with a heat pump. Install on demand or electric heat pump water heaters. Swap your gas car for an electic.
Vote both at the ballot and with your wallet against MAGA policies.



I’ll hold until RDNA 5.
