The US is a climate and cleantech leader?

“Death of the Unicorn - One mens struggle with erectal disfunction”

More fossil fuel cuts would hurt Western fossil fuel companies and they are lobbying hard against that. Lets work on making sure they fail.

Other protests also get criminalized. The Gaza protests were a classic example, Black Lives Matter in the US also got beaten down hard in some places and there are plenty of other examples. However there are also other things going on. The big fossil fuel companies are mulit national, so if something works in one country they use a similar tactic in others as well. Thats what organizations like the Atlas Network are for.

MIT license is still open source, so Ubuntu based operating systems can still be open source. The problem is that this makes it less needed that they have to be. However most current projects will probably stay proper open source projects and likely continue to use a better license.

This is trying to quickly help with a lack of electricity transnmission. Canada as a country mainly runs of hydro However some provinces ike Alberta have a lot of coal electricity. So being able to transport relativly clean hydro power to replace coal just makes sense.

It uses Bing in the backend though.

The simple solution is to either rewrite or leave those treaties. In fact that is already happening.

Olkiluoto3 and Mochovce3 went operational in 2023.

Norway only has a population of 5.5million. The area is relativly big though.

You get wealthy by taking valueables from other people. Turns out the best way to do that is by force, cheating, lies, stealing and the like. When you look at any billionaire, who did not inherite, you find they all do that.

Too poor to afford a helicopter…

NYC could just ban cars in those parts of the city instead.

An App Meta bought and turned into Facebook Massenger.

The reason I made that comparison is to show the massive scale China is rolling out coal today. Looking at the IEA link you shared we are talking about 1.5-2% of global emission increase due to China permitting those plants. If they are not planning to use them, then why built them in the first place.

In 2023 60.5% of China’s electricity was produced by coal power plants.

In 2024, 66.7 GW of new coal power capacity was permitted

Just to compare the EU has 87.6GW of coal power plants in operation in 2024. So China just permitted 76% of the EUs total capacity in coal power plants within a single year.

We currently emit a lot so the choice is: emit less with renewables or keep emitting but capture the carbon

Since renewables are much cheaper we reduce emissions much faster then going with carbon capture. That might be a good idea down the line, but currently 80% of our energy comes from fossil fuels, so down the line is probably decades.

Kigali has the average emission of the country between 2011-13 as the baseline. China agreed to reduce its emissions by 80% until 2045.

The top 5 China, USA, India, EU and Russia emit a combined 64% of global emissions. The top 10 emitters adding Japan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia(,Germany but it is part of the EU) and South Korea are at 74%. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-share-of-co2-emissions?tab=table

Of the lot only the USA has actually put in a contribution and well it then left the Paris Climate Agreement. So nobody really did.

United Arab Emirates (wait, really?)

They had COP28 in Dubai.
