"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

"Gaza could be the next Singapore"
Here's Alan Dershowitz making that comment (I don't know why Alan Dershowitz is a go-to guy for foreign policy, but in this case he makes "Adam Smith's" point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISViioLUy0I
I agree with Alan because the only thing holding Gaza back from middle-class prosperity was Hamas. The never-had-a-real-job main stream media just talks about "the cycle of violence". On the other hand, Adam Smith says "Little is needed to raise a society to the height of opulence but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice ... all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
If the IDF went in there, occupied Gaza, and administered it like Britain administered Hong Kong, then Gaza would become "the Singapore of the Middle East". Arabs are nothing if not enterprising. The only thing holding them back was Hamas. I bet after a generation or two, the IDF would say, "well, we're done here, it's time for us to go home." I bet even money that Gaza's newly comfortable middle class with a lot to lose will say, "No! Don't leave! The place will just be taken over by Hamas again and they'll trash the place."

A Summer LTVA?
Great work, Glorious.
"Bob Wells 2.0" -- Bob would be proud.
Sorry if I sound opportunist, but I take opportunities like this to propose "A Summer LTVA". Quartzsite and La Posa LTVAs are "ground zero" for the nomad lifestyle, and they are a first stop "slam dunk" solution to the problem of living on a low senior-citizen budget. Wouldn't it be nice to have a Summer LTVA? "A Quartszite at 8000'"?
I take opportunities like these to toss the idea out. In winter, Quartzsite is the "seniors safety net" -- Thank God. But when summer comes, well, I see you're doing work so people can stay in Quartzsite year round, but that summer heat... Once again, wouldn't it be nice to have a Summer LTVA at 8000'? I add details to this "pitch" every time I post to Youtube.
Here are some sites over 8000' where something might be done (I'm just an armchair/would-be nomader and spend a lot of time looking at Google maps):
- Tres Piedras, NM
- Red River area, NM
- The Mescalero Indian Reservation near Alamogordo, NM
- The Fort Apache Indian Reservation near Pinetop, AZ
- Dixie National Forest near Duck Creek, UT
-- But the prime location, IMHO, would be on Rt. 180 north of Flagstaff near the Arizona Snowbowl.
Housing of this nature is national issue. Bob Wells says he gets "100s" of correspondence from desperate seniors. The problem is real, the Government has the land, the Government is there to serve The People. BLM sure has hit a home run with its LTVAs and dispersed camping. A summer LTVA looks like a natural.
Great work!
Keep 'em coming.
Organizations who might be interested in a summer LTVA (esp. north of Flagstaff):
National Council On Aging
https://www.ncoa.org/
AARP
https://www.aarp.org/
RV Industry Association
https://www.rvia.org/who-we-serve/manufacturers
Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce
https://www.flagstaffchamber.com/
HOWA - HomesOn Wheels Alliance (Bob Wells)
https://homesonwheelsalliance.org/.
PS: is anyone running shuttlebus service to Blythe/Phoenix/Yuma from Quartzsite?
I bet the casinos would be happy to help out with that : )

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Big Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere (Aug 27, 2021)
John Robson/CDN – Climate Discussion Nexus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6VM41-v2gg
Min 16:30
What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

Have these stupid climate quacks ever wondered why the change in CO2 concentration from 0.000200 to 0.000400 could cause such a catastrophe?
In percentage terms it's 0.02% to 0.04% increase on CO2 concentration. Big Deal!
In parts per 1,000,000 it's gone from 200 parts per million to 400 parts per million, and it's had no provable effect on climate, only conjecture and assertion, easily contradicted by observation, e.g.
The Little Ice Age,
no change in temp lately,
Viking settlements in Greenland,
20 periods of glaciation,
The Maunder Minimum
etc
etc
Of course, if you're an effeminate Starbucks twerp looking to get laid with some cheap pick up conversation about how "environmentally sensitive" and "sustainable" then maybe you do buy into the quackery of global warming if it helps you get laid.

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

Climate change is crap.
It is 21st century superstition.

"Gaza could be the next Singapore"
Here's Alan Dershowitz making that comment (I don't know why Alan Dershowitz is a go-to guy for foreign policy, but in this case he makes "Adam Smith's" point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISViioLUy0I
I agree with Alan because the only thing holding Gaza back from middle-class prosperity was Hamas. The never-had-a-real-job main stream media just talks about "the cycle of violence". On the other hand, Adam Smith says "Little is needed to raise a society to the height of opulence but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice ... all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
If the IDF went in there, occupied Gaza, and administered it like Britain administered Hong Kong, then Gaza would become "the Singapore of the Middle East". Arabs are nothing if not enterprising. The only thing holding them back was Hamas. I bet after a generation or two, the IDF would say, "well, we're done here, it's time for us to go home." I bet even money that Gaza's newly comfortable middle class with a lot to lose will say, "No! Don't leave! The place will just be taken over by Hamas again and they'll trash the place."

We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food -- it's a baseline.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.

1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT reactors -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

I heard it this way: Don't chase the money... Let the money chase you.
That's hard for most young people because they don't know what they're good at yet, so they have to make arbitrary choices. I "majored" in programming because there were lots of jobs in programming. "Wrong reason". You should find something that you are COMPETITIVE at, and it helps when you like what you're doing. If you're just doing it for the money, chances are you're not going to survive the competition (sorry, but that's the real world, that's Darwin in the workplace; if you have a manager that cuts you slack, or a work situation that's more like a work-at-home sole-proprietorship, then you might be alright). Professional (get paid for it) vs. amateurs (yes, I can do this, but casually, not competitively.)

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

Sorry, but I think climate change is crap.
For one, there were several BIG "climate changes" in the mere blink-of-an-eye window of recorded human history. One of them was the Medieval Warm Periods. Was that caused by SUVs?
What's wrong with this picture? Here we have a PhD physicist who has to go back to the books for hour to investigate the science of what these snake-oil climate hustlers are saying (which I'm sure THEY haven't done). What she found was a shaggy dog story that has to go 3 levels deep, and THEN still ends with, "there still a lot of complications in this theory..." And at the end of it, I don't understand this "balance" stuff. Do any of YOU? It the space of two sentences we get "the earth has to get hotter because the stratosphere (beginning at 33,000 feet) got 1-2 degrees colder..." The politics of that are "Now! You peasants! Submit to a 25% reduction in your standard of living and pay up it taxes for trillions of dollars in stupid "green energy" BOONDOGGLES! (Ms. Sabin is German. Germany doesn't have such a good track record in the totality of "green energy" stuff -- either with its performance (see Peter Zeihan), or its making itself dependent on Russian natural gas.) How many of YOU understand this "balance" stuff?
Climate change is 21st century superstition -- any bad weather event is YOUR FAULT because YOU drove that evil ICE.
So is "renewable energy" and "carbon neutrality".... which then becomes an excuse for the stupid boondoggle of "green".
Here is a primer on climate quackery
CO2 is a TRACE GAS - 500 ppm, that's 0.0005 or 0.05%. Trace gases do not control the climate.

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.

"Gaza could be the next Singapore"
Here's Alan Dershowitz making that comment (I don't know why Alan Dershowitz is a go-to guy for foreign policy, but in this case he makes "Adam Smith's" point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISViioLUy0I
I agree with Alan because the only thing holding Gaza back from middle-class prosperity was Hamas. The never-had-a-real-job main stream media just talks about "the cycle of violence". On the other hand, Adam Smith says "Little is needed to raise a society to the height of opulence but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice ... all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
If the IDF went in there, occupied Gaza, and administered it like Britain administered Hong Kong, then Gaza would become "the Singapore of the Middle East". Arabs are nothing if not enterprising. The only thing holding them back was Hamas. I bet after a generation or two, the IDF would say, "well, we're done here, it's time for us to go home." I bet even money that Gaza's newly comfortable middle class with a lot to lose will say, "No! Don't leave! The place will just be taken over by Hamas again and they'll trash the place."

We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food -- it's a baseline.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.

...and the flip side of this evil coin: fractional reserve banking, and its enabler, the Federal Reserve.
George Friedman's "rethinking of economics " means abolishing central banking and ITS enabler, legal tender laws, and replacing it with market-selected money. (not necessarily gold, but that's what the market ends up selecting as money.)

Have these stupid climate quacks ever wondered why the change in CO2 concentration from 0.000200 to 0.000400 could cause such a catastrophe?
In percentage terms it's 0.02% to 0.04% increase on CO2 concentration. Big Deal!
In parts per 1,000,000 it's gone from 200 parts per million to 400 parts per million, and it's had no provable effect on climate, only conjecture and assertion, easily contradicted by observation, e.g.
The Little Ice Age,
no change in temp lately,
Viking settlements in Greenland,
20 periods of glaciation,
The Maunder Minimum
etc
etc
Of course, if you're an effeminate Starbucks twerp looking to get laid with some cheap pick up conversation about how "environmentally sensitive" and "sustainable" then maybe you do buy into the quackery of global warming if it helps you get laid.

+Passed High School Physics
I've taken a crack at Terra Power and I'm disappointed.
This is Bill Gates' fun in retirement schoolboy science project.
Bill is also the one lecturing us on some stupid "carbon neutral formula " he wants to ram down everyone's throat.
This is what happens when you you have too much time and money on your hands.
Seriously, TWR is just a bunch of cartoons a
this point with a Bill-Nye-levels sales pitch.
TWS: solid fuel (worse than liquid); a cartoon variation on the breeder reactor
(basically tried and failed; see some of Sorenson videos for a compare and contrast of fast neutron reactor basics vs slow neutron ("thermal" i.e. slowed down to ambient temperature by a moderator, so the neutron can sidel up to the nucleus, get absorbed, and cause a fission.
(I've been listening to to the UC Berkeley Nuclear Engineering videos; great example of YouTube education potential).
Back to Traveling Wave Reactors, Kirk Sorenson mentions it in a taxi cab interview in one of his videos and 1, describes it in the high-risk speculative technology that it is, dismisses it accordingly.
I've seen the Traveling Wave cartoon and it looks frankly crazy.
Some snake oil salesman got to Bill Gates with this one - solid fuel (bad), no visible means of reaction control (good regulatory luck with that), etc.
Sorry to disappoint and not enthuse about Traveling Wave, but TWR looks as challenging, high risk, and boondoggle-ish as fusion, i.e. a money losing waste of time compared to Thorium and MSRs (molten salt reactors)

Have these stupid climate quacks ever wondered why the change in CO2 concentration from 0.000200 to 0.000400 could cause such a catastrophe?
In percentage terms it's 0.02% to 0.04% increase on CO2 concentration. Big Deal!
In parts per 1,000,000 it's gone from 200 parts per million to 400 parts per million, and it's had no provable effect on climate, only conjecture and assertion, easily contradicted by observation, e.g.
The Little Ice Age,
no change in temp lately,
Viking settlements in Greenland,
20 periods of glaciation,
The Maunder Minimum
etc
etc
Of course, if you're an effeminate Starbucks twerp looking to get laid with some cheap pick up conversation about how "environmentally sensitive" and "sustainable" then maybe you do buy into the quackery of global warming if it helps you get laid.

+Andrew
Your question should apply to the aggressive hustlers and exhibitionist idiots in pages like this.
Instead your glorified what's wrong with you "question" is just obnoxious, condescending, conceited insult, characteristic of these climate quacks in general, of which you are one.
The soviet union was very good at "committing" dissidents, and you'd fit in well as a hatchet man of a regime like that, shithead that you are.
I've said this a million times and I'll repeat again, for the benefit of Creep Andrew, the conceited turd in sheep's clothing:
Climate Quackery is not about science. It's about power,
imposing taxes,
building bureaucracies,
advancing careers,
feeling superior by imposing pagan feel-good rituals (e.g. "recycling"),
inflicting human sacrifice,
institutionalizing superstition.
If that doesn't make a person angry, then you are a piece of shit (you already are, but I'm giving you a chance to redeem.)

Dear climate realists and non coolaid drinkers with the patience to debate here,
1) the climate quacks are always trying to bully us with their "consensus" , that's a given.
In addition to the evidence (data) not being there, there stupid models are false because their predictions are failures. I stick my neck out and say science isn't even about evidence (data), it's about predictive success. To wit, if your predictive hypothesis is correct, you can recreate the data with experiment. The climate quacks and hustlers (like this video) are complete failures here, and this is all the evidence you need to shut down the bullying, quackery and hustle. Professional scientists don't hesitate to point this out.
PS: another thank you to the people with common sense and climate realism to take the time to do battle with these tax supported opportunists with an aggressive human sacrifice agenda. You are defending our freedom, standard of living, and quality of life.

Canada Care = Managed SUFFERING.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Barbarian_Invasions
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338135/
The Barbarian Invasions
In this belated sequel to 'The Decline of the American Empire', 50-something Montreal college professor, Remy, learns that he is dying of liver cancer. He decides to make amends meet to his friends and family before he dies. He first tries to made peace with his ex-wife Louise, who asks their estranged son Sebastian, a successful businessman living in London, to come home. Sebastian makes the impossible happen, using his contacts and disrupting the entire Canadian system in every way possible to help his father fight his terminal illness to the bitter end, while he also tries to reunite his former friends, Pierre, Alain, Dominique, Diane, and Claude to see their old friend before he passes on.

Alej, right on!
Here's my 2 cents:
The quackery of climate change is not about science, it's about power.
The climate quacks (e.g. Al Gore) really aren't "scientists" i.e. practitioners of the scientific method (proof by experimentation) -- they are political hacks with an agenda.
IPCC wants to be a partner with OPEC.
Cut off the funding of these creeps!
They are trying to set up a quack preisthood of an eco-pagan religion and then impose taxes, regulations, and hardships on the rest of us - LIKE THEY DO IN INDIA. Keep this up and we'll be as poor and backward as INDIA.
Cut off the funding of these creeps!
Meanwhile,
Liberty is a poetic term for property rights.
Therefore there are only TWO KINDS OF LAWS:
- those that protect property rights,
- and those that attack property rights.
The climate quacks want to tax you out of a piece of your standard of living by taxing your energy consumption, which means they want to be skim off oil profits, like OPEC, so essentially IPCC wants to be a partner with OPEC.
They'll do this by doing to your energy consumption what they do to your garbage - that obnoxious pagan ritual called "recycling" - only much worse. They are attacking the very essence of your standard of living standards, which is energy consumption (i.e.pulling a rickshaw vs. driving a car).
PS: "recycling" is to eco-paganism what Communion is to Christianity, only in recycling's case, it is a useless, obnoxious, state-imposed pagan ritual.
(If it had any usefulness, the Market would do it itself, like copper recycling.)

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".
* * *
"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.
See John Robson's (CDN) "Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere".

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Big Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere (Aug 27, 2021)
John Robson/CDN – Climate Discussion Nexus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6VM41-v2gg
Min 16:30
What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

Right!

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".
* * *
"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

Are there any 2CV fans out there?
We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.
There must be 20 million high school kids who would be happy with this as their first car (sorry, no macho).
There must be 20 million retirees who would be happy with this as their grocery shopping car.
There must be 20 million 9-to-5ers who would be happy with this as their drive-to-work car.

The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".
* * *
"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.
See John Robson's (CDN) "Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere".

BTW, I don't care about global warming.
Am I going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
No.
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

Sorry, but I think climate change is crap.
For one, there were several BIG "climate changes" in the mere blink-of-an-eye window of recorded human history. One of them was the Medieval Warm Periods. Was that caused by SUVs?
What's wrong with this picture? Here we have a PhD physicist who has to go back to the books for hour to investigate the science of what these snake-oil climate hustlers are saying (which I'm sure THEY haven't done). What she found was a shaggy dog story that has to go 3 levels deep, and THEN still ends with, "there still a lot of complications in this theory..." And at the end of it, I don't understand this "balance" stuff. Do any of YOU? It the space of two sentences we get "the earth has to get hotter because the stratosphere (beginning at 33,000 feet) got 1-2 degrees colder..." The politics of that are "Now! You peasants! Submit to a 25% reduction in your standard of living and pay up it taxes for trillions of dollars in stupid "green energy" BOONDOGGLES! (Ms. Sabin is German. Germany doesn't have such a good track record in the totality of "green energy" stuff -- either with its performance (see Peter Zeihan), or its making itself dependent on Russian natural gas.) How many of YOU understand this "balance" stuff?
Climate change is 21st century superstition -- any bad weather event is YOUR FAULT because YOU drove that evil ICE.
So is "renewable energy" and "carbon neutrality".... which then becomes an excuse for the stupid boondoggle of "green".
Here is a primer on climate quackery
CO2 is a TRACE GAS - 500 ppm, that's 0.0005 or 0.05%. Trace gases do not control the climate.

Am I going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
No.
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT reactors -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food -- it's a baseline.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.
See John Robson's (CDN) "Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere".

3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".

I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).

Big Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere (Aug 27, 2021)
John Robson/CDN – Climate Discussion Nexus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6VM41-v2gg
Min 16:30
What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

I don't care about global warming.
Am I going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
No.
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food -- it's a baseline.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".
* * *
"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

There must be 20 million 9-to-5ers who would be happy with this as their drive-to-work car.

Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.
There must be 20 million high school kids who would be happy with this as their first car (sorry, no macho).
There must be 20 million retirees who would be happy with this as their grocery shopping car.
There must be 20 million 9-to-5ers who would be happy with this as their drive-to-work car.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Big Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere (Aug 27, 2021)
John Robson/CDN – Climate Discussion Nexus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6VM41-v2gg
Min 16:30
What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".
* * *
"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

Are there any 2CV fans out there?
We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.
There must be 20 million high school kids who would be happy with this as their first car (sorry, no macho).
There must be 20 million retirees who would be happy with this as their grocery shopping car.

Sorry, but I think climate change is crap.
For one, there were several BIG "climate changes" in the mere blink-of-an-eye window of recorded human history. One of them was the Medieval Warm Periods. Was that caused by SUVs?
What's wrong with this picture? Here we have a PhD physicist who has to go back to the books for hour to investigate the science of what these snake-oil climate hustlers are saying (which I'm sure THEY haven't done). What she found was a shaggy dog story that has to go 3 levels deep, and THEN still ends with, "there still a lot of complications in this theory..." And at the end of it, I don't understand this "balance" stuff. Do any of YOU? It the space of two sentences we get "the earth has to get hotter because the stratosphere (beginning at 33,000 feet) got 1-2 degrees colder..." The politics of that are "Now! You peasants! Submit to a 25% reduction in your standard of living and pay up it taxes for trillions of dollars in stupid "green energy" BOONDOGGLES! (Ms. Sabin is German. Germany doesn't have such a good track record in the totality of "green energy" stuff -- either with its performance (see Peter Zeihan), or its making itself dependent on Russian natural gas.) How many of YOU understand this "balance" stuff?
Climate change is 21st century superstition -- any bad weather event is YOUR FAULT because YOU drove that evil ICE.
So is "renewable energy" and "carbon neutrality".... which then becomes an excuse for the stupid boondoggle of "green".
Here is a primer on climate quackery

"Renewable energy" is a kids' lemonade stand business model. Why? Because Mommy and Daddy ( the power grid) is always there to provide power when lemonade-renewable doesn't feel like working (i e. when it's nightime or it's cloudy).

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food -- it's a baseline.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.

I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

In other words, co2 is glorified humidity.
Sorry, but "anthro" climate change is not credible.
It is 21st century superstition.
So is "renewable energy" and "carbon neutrality".... which then becomes an excuse for the stupid boondoggle of "green".
Here is a primer on climate quackery
CO2 is a TRACE GAS - 500 ppm, that's 0.0005 or 0.05%. Trace gases do not control the climate.

"Renewable energy" is a kids' lemonade stand business model. Why? Because Mommy and Daddy ( the power grid) is always there to provide power when lemonade-renewable doesn't feel like working (i e. when it's nightime or it's cloudy).

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Climate change is crap.
It is 21st century superstition.
So is "renewable energy" and "carbon neutrality".
Here is a primer on climate quackery
CO2 is a TRACE GAS - 500 ppm, that's 0.0005 or 0.05%. Trace gases do not control the climate.

Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

@AlanTheBeast100
Sorry, but I think climate change is crap.
For one, there were several BIG "climate changes" in the mere blink-of-an-eye window of recorded human history. One of them was the Medieval Warm Periods. Was that caused by SUVs?
What's wrong with this picture? Here we have a PhD physicist who has to go back to the books for hour to investigate the science of what these snake-oil climate hustlers are saying (which I'm sure THEY haven't done). What she found was a shaggy dog story that has to go 3 levels deep, and THEN still ends with, "there still a lot of complications in this theory..." And at the end of it, I don't understand this "balance" stuff. Do any of YOU? It the space of two sentences we get "the earth has to get hotter because the stratosphere (beginning at 33,000 feet) got 1-2 degrees colder..." The politics of that are "Now! You peasants! Submit to a 25% reduction in your standard of living and pay up it taxes for trillions of dollars in stupid "green energy" BOONDOGGLES! (Ms. Sabin is German. Germany doesn't have such a good track record in the totality of "green energy" stuff -- either with its performance (see Peter Zeihan), or its making itself dependent on Russian natural gas.) How many of YOU understand this "balance" stuff?
Climate change is 21st century superstition -- any bad weather event is YOUR FAULT because YOU drove that evil ICE.
So is "renewable energy" and "carbon neutrality".... which then becomes an excuse for the stupid boondoggle of "green".
Here is a primer on climate quackery

Here's something for the idiots of Renewable Energy:
Sooner or later you greenies are going to need to grow up and learn how economies work. - hint government people understand nothing of economies other than how to rape them.
These G-morons decided "woke' power (power that doesn't really work) was a great idea for them, not us, so they decided to steal some money from some ratepayers in order to pay others to stimulate the growth or power that really doesn't work - ie wind and solar.
In the real world, the one that really works, there is something called supply and demand and these things regulate the price of everything fairly.
Your butcher buys his beef by the side and pays more for it than the meat packing plant did who in turn paid more for steer than it cost the rancher to produce it. Get it so far?
Now when you buy that beefsteak at the butcher's shop he's going to get his markup as well, so you as the end consumer are going to have to pay a lot more for it per pound than the rancher was paid for it.
Next time you want a beefsteak drive out to a ranch and buy your steer on the hoof - then you slaughter it, age it carve it up sell the inedible parts to dogfood processors and the like and eat the rest of it on the cheap - no you want the value that all those who added value to the meat along the whole length of the supply chain don't you? Or do you buy your steaks on the hoof? Or do you expect to pay the ranchers price at your favorite steakhouse as well?
It's that way with electricity too, you cannot expect the power company to buy power back from you at retail rates when they don't even need or want the power. With that business model they will go bankrupt as soon as their investors are wiped out.
If that rancher were to dine out at your favorite steakhouse why not demand that your ignorant politicians make the restaurant buy his on-the-hoof steer from him on demand at the same rate per pound that they charge you for a 16 oz prime rib?
The problem is, as with all government planned economies, sooner or later everyone will want to receive the grift instead of paying for it, when that happens the lights go out - permanently.
The most ignorant feature of all of this is that it is supposed to solve some problem that the grifters dreamed up but that does not actually exist so solar panels and wind turbines only create huge problems, they solve nothing - time to wake up you dizzy Californians.

Am I going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
No.
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

Big Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere (Aug 27, 2021)

Min 16:30
What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Are there any 2CV fans out there?
We all love the 2CV.
The 2CV is to cars what bread is to food.
Wouldn't it be great if it could go back into production, giving millions of people this transportation option?
Citroen AMI:
The usual response to that wish is that it's impossible because the 2CV can't pass safety regulations. But here's a loophole for that: Citroen itself is selling a car called the Ami, which is legally a "quadracycle" -- I guess that's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. The Ami itself uses the 2CV logo on its grill (see this article called "The Electrek review: This tiny Citroën Ami microcar is just weird enough to work". )
Here's a quote about it's being designated as a quadracycle, "It’s technically considered to be a quadricycle, a type of vehicle classification in Europe that falls somewhere between a motorcycle and a standard car. That helps it thread the needle of low cost and low regulations while still offering much the feeling of an actual car. It may not have a dozen airbags like some cars (or even one airbag), but you weren’t planning on hitting anything anyway, right?"
"Largely an artisanal procedure":
Here's an article about when the 2CV was produced in Iran: "Citroën Saipac 2CV, Jiane Sedan, Jiane Pickup and Mehari". It describes the manufacturing as "largely an artisanal procedure", i.e., they are hand assembled. ... That means a high school kid can put one together in their back yard (!). How many millions of high school kids wouldn't consider that as an option for their first car???
Burton 2CV Parts:
This place in The Netherlands -- Burton 2CV parts -- has several videos about putting together a whole 2CV with purchased parts. They don't come out and say it -- but it's hard not to make that conclusion: "You can build your own 2CV!"
Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine!
Can the 2CV hold its own on a highway? This video makes it look like it can: Modded 2CV: 720cc - speed machine! (channel is Hub Nut). It talks about some minor-looking improvements to the spark-advance, giving it highway-capable speeds.
Rust is a problem? Here is a video about hot-dipping the whole body in zinc: Fully Zink coated body!! The daily driver citroën 2cv6 real solution against rust restoration. 2cv
^^ a hot-dipped zinc-coated 2CV will last a lifetime or more, in terms of rust.
Argentina: 2CVs used to be made in Argentina, and now it has an extremely free-market president and administration. I bet Argentina would embrace re-introduction of the 2CV with open arms. (And its mostly a flat, mild-weather country -- it should do well there.)
Let's figure out a way to get this back into production and make it a transportation option for millions.
There must be 20 million high school kids who would be happy with this as their first car (sorry, no macho).
There must be 20 million retirees who would be happy with this as their grocery shopping car.
There must be 20 million 9-to-5ers who would be happy with this as their drive-to-work car.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

@TheWineroute
Is your comment pro-or anti-Climate Quackery?
We've had mass climate stupidity since the 70s, starting with that stupid Ozone Depletion:
Look at the screwing we're all getting because of the EPA and its ozone depletion cr*p!
The Nonsense That is Ozone-Depletion
"Holes" in the ozone argument:
1) Freon is heavier than air: how do molecules heavier than air get to 30,000 feet (the beginning of the stratosphere)?
2) The "hole" in the ozone over the South Pole was "discovered" by satellites in the '80: if it was just "discovered", how do we know IT WASN'T THERE ALL ALONG ? ? ? ?
3) There is a perfectly logical reason why there is less ozone over the polar regions: THERE IS LESS SUNLIGHT THERE TO PRODUCE OZONE IN THE FIRST PLACE, especially in winter ("land of the midnight sun...")
4) Antarctica (South Pole) has the highest average elevation of any continent (8000 ft): Does that have any effect on ozone quantity????? (The North Pole is all at sea level and there is no ozone "hole" there. (Why not?)
5) The offending atom is CHLORINE (very common), not CFCs themselves. The argument goes that the CFCs carry CHLORINE up to the stratosphere. There are other compounds of chlorine in the atmosphere -- that's one of the things you smell when you go to the beach --> "salt water" --> i.e. sodium-chloride. Is the ocean a source of "ozone depleting" chlorine compounds?
6) Most basic of all, ozone (O3) is an EFFECT of UV blockage, not a cause. [O3 is an unstable molecule that needs a lot of energy to produce, e.g. the ozone you smell around arcing engines. There is less ozone at the poles b/c there is less UV to generate it (just like there is less sunlight to keep the place warm in the first place.
I hope the public is beginning to see how dubious this ozone scam is. Monstrous mistakes like this DO happen - think the ban on DDT and malaria deaths.

In other words, CFCs probably have NOTHING to do with Antarctic ozone:

The stupid claim the ozone layer is "healing" ("healing" - is that a scientific term?)
Notice that the "hole" always goes away in Antarctic summer (more sunlight/more ozone produced) and reappears in Antarctic winter (no sunlight/no ozone produced (ozone is an unstable molecule to begin with)). We've been sold a load of cr*p that has made a hideous mess of the AC industry.
You'll see no change in hole size in the Antarctic winter, which means the "hole" has been there all along and is a perfectly natural and harmless phenomenon. "Oh well, we trashed an entire industry over a quack-science hoax... Sorry about that..."

Min 21:00: A brief history of refrigerants R12, R22, R410a and the screwing we get from the EPA, the "Montreal Protocol" (a self-appointed bureaucracy still alive and well) over their ozone depletion quackery. The doubling of pressures from R12 to R22, and the DOUBLING AGAIN from R22 to R 410a,
AND R22 wasn't even banned for ozone depletion! (100x less "odp" from R12). It was banned for "global warming" quackery.

Minute 22:00 refrigerants disassociate in water, so why sre they a problem in the stratosphere?
https://youtu.be/5SpOiHB6VsE
15% of chlorine in stratosphere is natural, according to this:
https://csl.noaa.gov/assessments/ozone/1998/faq3.html
Another comment I submit to The Order is about "NOISE", namely,
- NOISE is a bad thing -- we don't want that in our houses.
- Don't compressors that are forced to operate at higher pressures make more NOISE than compressors that operate at much lower pressures?
- Assuming the answer to the above is "yes", then would a compressor that has to operate at 450 psi (for that stupid R-410A refrigerant -- 'scuse my french) vs. 150 psi for R-12 (the industry standard till that stupid EPA came along -- 'scuse my french again).
- Here is a PT graph for the major refrigerants: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/refrigerant-temperature-pressure-chart-d_1683.html
- Conclusion: the stupid EPA and DOE have not only made AC equipment more expensive to buy and more expensive to maintain and less effective in terms of cooling (window ACs) -- they have also made them NOISIER. ... Thank you, tax-paid idiots of environmentalism and quackery that is "ozone depletion" (the warmup act for "global warming" -- "Hey Texas -- how's that renewable energy/global warming/windmill thing working out????")
Thank you Boomer generation (mine) for the 60s mess you have made of America.
Cheers.
PS: here's a video about a stupid 90% furnace whose condensation overflowed the week before Christmas and trashed multiple ceilings in the guy's house. Of course, those stupid DOE bureaucrats will be there bright and early to fix the damage. "Happy Holidays!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnVtRqfqoSY&ab_channel=AntiDIYHVAC
... And another video about a screw-up with the INDUCER fan --> a creature of "high efficiency" DOE regulations which dictate the squeezing all so much heat out the combustion, a separate fan needed to get the exhaust gasses out the flu. Then they break down and screw up the whole system.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZJ1GPAATGY&t=370s&ab_channel=VintageVideos2009
90% furnaces:
"Required".
Required by whom?
Are these ultra-complicated and expensive machines cost effective over their total life????
Or is this another expensive, pointless dictate from bureaucratic petty tyrants making life more difficult for everyone?
(All I hear about these are those paper-thin heat exchangers rusting through, fans not working, cramped working conditions, more problems with water condensate damage and EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS!!!)
PS: am big fan of your channel, but have total disgust for the hideous things government has done to this industry.

What is ppm concentration of ozone in the stratosphere?
Answer:
The peak concentration of ozone occurs at an altitude of roughly 32 kilometers (20 miles) above the surface of the Earth. At that altitude, ozone concentration can be as high as 15 parts per million (0.0015 percent).
https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/facts/SH.html
How can a 0.0015% concentration of anything protect us from anything?
I.e. ozone is another trivial trace gas like CO2.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

Min 16:30
What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".
* * *
"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.

Hey Guys!
You WANT to love precision fermentation (PF) -- I mean, who wouldn't want to free up thousands of acres of land to make limitless amounts of cheese in a factory for the good of humanity?
NOT SO FAST!
There are two (2) problems with this:
1) It's being done for the wrong reasons:
A) There is no such thing as anthropogenic global warming. CO2 is climatologically irrelevant (see the work of Henrik Svensmark for what REALLY drives interglaciation climate change (e.g. the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age); and see the Climate Discussion Nexus for the bogus and biased propaganda being used to psyop the public about "global warming". This is 21st century superstition. "Renewable Energy" is 21st century pyramid building. (Just burn coal -- it's cheap, effective, and brings cheap electricity to the whole world.) Precision Fermentation (PF) is trying to hitch a ride on this "sustainability" bandwagon with its promise of "low carbon footprint" -- but this isn't based on reality, it's based on a religious believe, and that will fail in the mass market. It may serve the religious niche of the "net zero" faith, but FREE markets don't run on religious beliefs, they run on costs and benefits.
B) Precision Fermentation (PF) also appeals to the "no animals" religion, like they do in, say, India. Again, that's a religious dogma (and perhaps a niche market), but it's not an ECONOMIC argument. FREE markets don't run on religious dogma. (BTW: the vegetarianism of India and East Asia is a "making a virtue of necessity". They can't AFFORD to eat the water buffalos that also till their fields. If they ate their plow-cows, they'd starve because they'd have no draft animals to till their fields -- so they make vegetarianism a virtue of necessity.) Religious vegetarianism might work for a niche market, but it won't work for the MASS market.
2) Wrong reason #2 is the artificial, government distortions in American agriculture -- specifically CORN. 40% of American corn is burned up in the stupid price-support boondoggle known as the Ethanol Mandate (which in itself stems from the "global warming" superstition. American farmers a so productive with corn they have to burn 40% of their crop to keep prices up. This is a crime against humanity. Only 8% of the corn crop is consumed in DAIRY farming -- if the Ethanol Mandate were removed, the price of feed for dairy cows could drop by 50% in the blink of an eye. Since 40% of the cost of milk is in the feed (mostly corn), then the price of milk could drop by 20% overnight (50% x 40%)! See this article for the numbers: "The Uses of Corn: Industries Affected by High Corn Prices"
[And even WITH the artificially high prices caused by the Ethanol Mandate), farmers still produce so much dairy the government has to buy 1.4 billion pounds of CHEESE (10% of an annual production) and store it in a climate-controlled cave in Missouri.]
Conclusion:
Sorry PF, but until you can make milk CHEAPER than the mighty American farmer, your product is going to stay a glorified science experiment. MAYBE PF milk would be profitable in some parts of the world, but if the markets are FREE, you'll always be competing with the mighty American dairy farmer. (Same for eggs.)
In a place like, say, The Philippines -- if you can make PF milk cheaper than the cost to import it -- then more power to you -- God bless. But for most of the world, you've got an uphill battle to make milk cheaper than the mighty American dairy farmer. And what's the point? Religious goals aren't going to cut it (see above). You might want to direct your efforts and talents to something else. If you wanted to deliver a BIG increase in the "making the world a better place" department, I'd lobby for abolition of that horrible Ethanol Mandate -- figure out a way to drive DOWN the cost of food with all that corn-growing capability. How about more cattle feed lots and shrimp farms? Raising the American standard of living to include filet mignon and shrimp cocktail twice a week is something to look forward to.

What we found (is) the amount of heat that is being retained by THE MODELS is much greater than what we actually see in the real world. So this is important in the sense that it's a test metric. In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

I don't care about global warming.

What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:

b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.

In other words all the models show this should be happening when you increase greenhouse gases -- when you increase that heating amount, and it's something we don't find, which means the real atmosphere evidently has ways to expel that heat that the models don't allow. It turns out that the models that agree most with the actual observations -- you know, they're still too warm but they're closer to it -- are the ones that are LEAST SENSITIVE TO CARBON DIOXIDE -- the ones that have the lowest warming rate at the surface. Scientifically it's just uh amazing or almost incomprehensible because in in the scientific method we make a claim and then we test that claim against independent data. – John Cristy, professor of atmospheric science.

"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".

"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.
See John Robson's (CDN) "Trouble in the Tropical Troposphere".
