Do you know what percentage of current MPs are former staffers?

52% for the Coalition & 64% for Labor. 🀯🀯🀯

Do you think we need more politicians with real-world experience?

The trick is to respond with a suggestion that all ad homonim attacks are removed along with all derogatory adjectives.
The reply would then be VERY short and pointless.
The flat earth society has more basis for their claims.

As others have noted, the life of Carl Bosch is worth a look in these times. Fritz Haber demonstrated that nitrogen could be reduced to ammonia, but Bosch’s work turned that into a technology that changed the world with sudden new supplies of fertilizer (and of explosives). (1/8)

@heatpump.review
Hi, I'm interested in using a heat pump to feed a small hydronic heating need. I have a heat pump hot water tank at 60C. Can I add a small heat pump circuit to raise some water to say 70 & return it to the HW tank. Haven't seen anyone doing that. Why not?

Okay, so it turns out our house is trying to kill us. Over the last couple of days, we thought we smelled gas, faintly. Called an appliance guy to look at our stove; he said he couldn't detect anything with the instruments he had and left without charging us. But then the smell got REALLY OBVIOUS.

a cartoon with two panels

panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground

Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there"

The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

And with the right amount of storage - around 6 hours conservatively - RE will be reliable. Bring on the EV to grid storage solution.

'renewables don’t need a debate, don’t need a new industry, don’t need 15+ years lead time, and don’t need to be 100% bankrolled by taxpayers. firmed renewables are available now, are cheap & constantly getting cheaper, and there’s a huge industry & workforce ready & willing to roll them out.'
