I wonder how secure the unhackable control systems on modern agricultural tractors and other powered equipment is

De Blasio’s Gas Stove Ban Was Intended To Help the Environment. Experts Say It’ll Backfire.​

The city is trying to help minorities and the environment at the same time. It's ended up hurting both.

In December 2021, outgoing New York City mayor Bill de Blasio signed a bill banning natural gas hookups in newly constructed buildings. The law passed with support from environmentalist groups including the Natural Resources Defense Council, which said the ban would "eliminate emissions" by requiring electric heat.

There was just one problem: Almost all of New York City's electricity comes from natural gas. That means electrifying buildings will increase emissions rather than reduce them, energy experts told the Washington Free Beacon.

"Emissions will go up," said Mark Mills, a physicist and energy expert at the Manhattan Institute. "It's unavoidable."

It takes twice as many fossil fuels to power an electric stove as a gas one, Mills said, because energy gets lost in the conversion process. So without a relatively green grid, fewer gas stoves means more gas burned overall and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

It seems counterintuitive: If climate change endangers "the future of all life on earth," as the president of the Natural Resources Defense Council said in April, why did environmental groups support a policy that will make it worse?


One answer is the environmental movement's increasing focus on racial justice, which has made it more skeptical of clean energy sources—including nuclear and hydropower—that allegedly harm minorities.

I like hydropower - I live directly between two of the largest hydro projects in New York State, the one at Niagara Falls and the one at Massena - a double bite at the same water. But it comes at a significant ecological cost, and is dependent on weather patterns that are often unreliable.
And in terms of harming minorities? No that's just retarded. And we can't afford having policy set by retards anymore. We need to silence the noisy retards.

The future is small nuclear reactors, currently represented by those called modular. A single one can power a small city and can be transported on semi truck trailers. And the only people who think they harm minorities are ...

Yeah - those guys again.

If fossil fuels run low. I'm not convinced either that CO2 emissions are harmful, or that we're anywhere near the end of the earth's fossil fuel resources. I think it's just as likely that we've only scratched the surface, only found the easy to find stuff, and some of the slightly more difficult to find stuff, but that there's a 'ton' of it left for us still to find, for centuries more if not longer.

And nuclear cannot be the solution until we do something about geopolitics. That's a way tougher nut to crack than building and operating nuclear plants.

I am for all-electric housing, as it eliminates house explosions caused by leaks.

Can we put the nuclear waste in your yard?😁

So is that a yes?
It seems that if you can spare a few square feet of your yard, we can store some nuclear waste, at least till you try to sell your home.
(BTW, I'm mostly for solar, wind, and water produced power)
