  1. Have to compete with EROI in the current market and gas is gar greater, UK uses a lot of gas, it uses more energy for heating than it does electricity, they could do with a little less sales and still be alright.

  2. It was also called the flesh of Ra that fell from the sky and if people brought it to Pharaohs or priests a donkey or extra wheat was given, until today we have money. We were started on this path 10 or so thousand years ago.

  3. Telling the MP's, those mouthpieces for business interests, probably common knowledge amongst the least progressive and as long as they keep the stupid ones busy, everything keeps going as usual, and you like usual, don't you?

  4. The flesh of Ra the sun god was said to fall from the sky and the lowly folk were told if they collect it so we can be closer to the gods, so we can make masks, we will give you an extra sheaf of wheat and now we have money, or another way to look at it is When in Rome, do as the Italians do, the point is business and societal interests have probably been in roughly the same hands for quite a long time and this definition of decay, could be seen as growth in human affairs, it's just that good men should be able to stop bad ones and we forgot.

  5. Prices of building going up 20 percent in the steel/aluminium portion, windfarms to the aluminium foil in your kitchen means different things for companies, publicly traded companies like aluminium and iron ore produces and miners. These companies have a certain margin of profit, let's say the margin of profit was 20%..What will happen to all the valuations to that company, they will go down. Most people who have worked have a portion of their incomes that are in the stock market, where I am half is in the stock market through superannuation/retirement funds.

  6. None of that replaces oil, if you want synthetic rubber on wires or mining oil will still be needed and that runs out in a few decades, the removal of plastic would be life changing for most of us. We can take electricity with us but not all energy and remove oil from your life how much do you have left?

  7.  @fastestkid  6000 products all come from the same barrel, if you want one of those products then the rest have to be refined off, nuclear will never replace all of that so some adjustment will have to be made, because electricity is a small part of our overall energy.

  9.  @MentalLentil-ev9jr  A heat pump might have 400% efficiency but at least half of electricity is generated by gas which has a 30-40% efficiency or a gas boiler that can have 90% and above efficiency. Considering the investment has been made for boilers then the energy return on investment might not be greater

  10.  @MentalLentil-ev9jr  Do you have anything to say about my point? Under no circumstances should you think production emissions are the total emissions of taking out one and reinstalling another. Could you explain how production emissions of the unit has anything to do with overall emissions if gas is the producer of electricity? The issue with cost is gas is so cheap and electricity has a surcharge because of renewables and their false opinion of Net Zero and that it just covers electricity when it doesn't. Solar and hydro cover 2% of total energy in the UK, there is a long way to go but artificially high? Are you able to prove that it is artificially high or the cost or production is the difference? Edit UK burns more biomass than wind and hydro combined.

  11.  @MentalLentil-ev9jr  PS Can you cite this please, 11 months of use to save on carbon seems...adventurous, considering the damage the gases have caused, mining copper etc? "It takes on average around 11 months for the carbon released manufacturing heat pumps to be recovered from usage" How are you defining carbon released and recovered to mean 11 months is the turnaround time overall?
    1
  12.  @MentalLentil-ev9jr  "That's an approximate time for the carbon produced during the manufacture, including mining etc, to equal the carbon saved by using a heat pump compared to a gas boiler" If gas generation is 40% efficient and a heat pump 300% efficient then overall we are around 120% efficient, considering more than one heat pump would be needed per house and the oil burners are paid off, it seems like that 20% extra would take a long time, do you have proof of 11 months?

  13.  @MentalLentil-ev9jr  PS Air conditioning gases have warming potentials of 1400 and 1700 and are still being used and there are seasonal fluctuations of emissions from units that have currently been unaccounted for and these gases still affect the ozone layer in a major damaging way, I'd really love to know where you got the information gas production, etc would take 11 months, if you can cite it? Is it CO2e for everything or just CO2 for example?

  14.  @MentalLentil-ev9jr  " You obviously aren't going to accept my figures " No need to get snarky, are you saying heat geek says 11 months? Never heard of propane being used, still can't say air conditioners haven't done damage and replacing all existing would be massive amounts of pollution and I've got no cat in the fight, but to people who have paid off their boilers..

  16. Western civilisation of praying to the almighty dollar is at risk from not enough population growth, not enough clean energy to keep the planet from horrendous change and all money being debt, they want it to be paid off, they know jobs and more debt isn't going to fix the problems and low growth is a different era to the last 80 years of 400% population growth. If the world is a business and they treat it as such, 40% growth the next 80 years worldwide, is a low growth timeframe.

  17. For the system to be able to have a reset people need to stop doing things the old way.

  18. We use oil foreign people have been killed over to go for a drive. In a tank of diesel is the same amount of energy as my summer, 3.2 months, electrical energy in a sub tropical place with the air con going 24/7. Material goods like fossil fuels are destroying the planet. To say a comprehensive list would depend on what you use and without knowing you no-one can give you a comprehensive list but if you drive just for fun instead of going for a walk, it would be those sort of things. It depends on your overall consumption and if you only had gold to spend, what would you spend gold on, knowing that you couldn't get anymore. 6000 products come from a barrel of oil, overcomsumption of any of these goods creates demand that wants to be slowed. If you can remove that comprehensive list from your life, you won't have much left to do other than talk and be nice to other people.

  19. The main reason the economy has to grow is businesses that everybody's retirement funds are invested in need to show growth, the whole stock market depends on growth otherwise it isn't needed.

  20. It's not like the rich don't own a large percentage around the world, the point is it goes further than that. These people control the govt, and control the education system, that we are forced to give our children to and wonder why society is getting dumber. It's a case of controlled idiocracy because we are products of our environment and democracy only works when people are educated, calling what we have because of ignorant by design is what needs to change, giving children to the people we don't trust is them getting in before children are adults, by the time they are they are trained to be dumb cogs in the system for those people.

  21. The system of monarchy of " you are all serfs" is continued as all money is bank debt, at a cost of around 4 cents per hundred pound to create, that we must earn and pay back, full value to survive and yet we all ask for more..forced, to ask for more..

  22. Definitely don't adopt a vegan diet, it's the most destructive system, based off skewed data of putting all the emissions onto the meat, while we get so much more. Crops have been pushed to subsidise meat, where more crop waste is fed than food we grow for them. 99.97% of the mass of the atmosphere is 100k high, all the sprays etc go into this tiny sliver of atmosphere, crops are virtual deserts, absolutely worst system, ex.

  23. more crop waste goes to animals than food we grow for them as ex v, don't believe the hype.

  24.  @zodd67  On reality that you could have checked before asking, As far as UK is concerned it is supposed to get unable to grow crops so will only be non arable land, the land we don't spray, going to all crops for food is not wise. We get far more from animals than just food though, wool, milk, gelatine to hold together toilet paper, fats that go into plastic like this device, activated carbon to filter water, leather, all these need a grown replacement, there isn't the arable land available to go crop based and get all that we get now.

  25.  @zodd67  I always love this argument, no, it is the new kid on the block that needs to prove everything can be replaced better for the environment. Growing a crop replacement for wool of beef where they are on non arable land that doesn't get sprayed or irrigated will be hard to do. It's not about need it's that they are used now, pet food, gelatine in toilet paper, fats in plastics, the point is can a grown replacement be found, I don't have to prove something I don't believe exists. The point is also we feed more crop waste to animals than we grow for them, i don't eat caged animals but isn't this a net gain at the very least environmentally?

  26.  @zodd67  Also, the metrics of the comparisons is something to look at. Measuring the amount of crops that make it to market per kilo and measuring that against meat per kg, with the emissions put all onto the meat, is an incorrect way of measuring it. A kilo of any crop should have less emissions, the metric of weight hasn't any bearing on nutrition, overall value/products, just how much water one product could hold.

  27.  @zodd67  Soy is a great one where metrics can confuse the issue. humans use 92% of the human usable part of soy, 6% whole bean, animals use 7% whole bean, the 87% is processed into oil of which animals take 1%, so animals take 8% of the human usable part but take 99% of the waste, same as all seed oils, the have seed cake that will get fed to chickens, fish, pigs mostly. By weight of the total product animals eat I think I've seen it as 87% of soy, yeah but most of that is indigestible by us. It's a statistic dressed up as the truth. If USA all animals are around 5% of emissions and beef around 65% of that, considering meat is around half of what we get and all the other things are quite energy dense any new system has to dhow it can reduce that percentage and replace all that we get. Agriculture is the same percentage if US and the around a third of corn that all animals take is not going to replace all that we get. We could compost the waste, it would still emit to the atmosphere and people have tried to process it into food but it's a lot of energy when animals do it for basically free. " We" as in the collective.

  28. We use oil that other people have been killed over and will destroy the planet, society as a whole is anti-social, society as a whole is criminally insane.

  29. @nanajan-x3n All money goes to the private sector as we are all private individuals who get it. 99% of businesses are small businesses and it does not matter if the govt spent it on people in the govt standing on their head, as long as it is taxed out again. The govt borrows from the central bank, it could all go into hospitals run by the state it would not matter because once that money/debt is in the economy it eventually finds its way into their pockets because they own all the assets and the govt has it that you need to hold some of this debt before you can live.

  31. @Betweoxwitegan PPS : You say govt spending isn't exploitative, it is created at a cost of four cents per hundred dollars, we pay this back full value in our taxes and this money disappears, we give our lives for this debt and get nothing back in return insofar as sustainability or things made easier and we are made into slaves for this debt, to be able to live. When it is printed at such a low cost and we have to live in fear for food when it is the low bar the achieve?

  32. @Betweoxwitegan " Increasing the monetary supply does not necessarily cause inflation" If the amount of money is inflated then how is this not inflation? As all money is debt and therefore has an inflation rate attached, how does money not lose value every second and therefore why wouldn't inflation always exist

  37. @makhnothecossack4948 Increasing money supply while lowering the availability of properties for purchase?
    1
  38. @makhnothecossack4948 There is no purchasing demand on low income housing at the high end of town, there is not a lack of it, there is a manufactured scarcity but adding more money and lowering the amount of properties for sale and we have to understand every single dollar is debt, then adding more debt isn't going to mean less inflation. I've got no problem with social housing and we shouldn't have to hold debt to survive but we need to do more than shrink the amount of available purchasable properties while increasing the amount of money.

  39.  @badabing3391  All money in the world is debt, if govt spending inputs money into the system, wealthy people collect it because of the added income streams to their business/rentals etc

  46.  @cbbcbb6803  All money is debt based, so they also have a bank they borrow from and we pay that loan back with our taxes, the money must enter society first before it is taxed out.

  50.  @KilledMind1985  Are you saying debt not being entered into by private individuals then govt will have to input the debt, as all money is debt? Why is govt debt or private debt the reason why socialism happens?
