  27. "There is a reason why minors need parental consent and/or age restriction such as smoking, tattoo, drinking, gambling, marriage, sex with a minor etc. minors mind is not fully developed which is easily persuaded and victimized. Doing this is child abuse and they should be put in jail, especially when not consulting with their own parents." ==What if one set of parents say it is ok for their 8 y old to smoke and another set of parents from another family says it is not ok. How can 2 different set of parents be correct? I can see that smoking is a problem. It is damaging to the lungs. I don’t know what harm a tattoo does. Perhaps some parents exerted a lot of pressure on the government and the government decided to make it a rule for all of society. Ethanol might not be good for the brain. Gambling? What harm does it do. Marriage? No kid wants to get married. It is often a 20 y old who wants to marry a 13 y old. In some cases, it is a 60 y old. Some of this comes from certain religions, such as mormonism. Sex is something common. There are some 13 y olds having sex with each other. Should we put them in jail? When it comes to motorcycling, biking, football and other dangerous sports, some parents might be against their kids doing dangerous sports. Again, this is a case of possible physical harm. So there is some logic to it. What’s so dangerous about a boy wanting to be a girl? It is a medical condition an doctors should help in their transition. Perhaps psychologists should help as well.

  60.  @Smokedouttasian  I don’t know what technology you want to invent that you regard as the perfect solution, but there has been a strong push back for EV. I think it was the Ford EV1. It was part of the contract that you do not own it. Ford took all the vehicles back, crush them, destroyed them. Behind the scene, my guess is that at Ford and the same goes for the other large companies, research into new battery technology was banned. Developing an EV is banned. The only solution was a new company: Tesla. Ford and such large companies offered Telsa to come and sell it at their dealership. Tesla refused. Tesla sold directly to consumers and became a large success. How is it that Ford, Chrysler, GM, Lincoln, Volkwagen, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota are well established and could not do this themselves? There is something weird going on. What about Dell, Apple, Compaq, HP and the other megacorporations? They are unable to make an easily repairable and parts interchangeable cellphone and laptop? Yet, you have the PinePhone, Tuxedo, Framework who are small guys and they do exactly that. How is that possible? The big corporations do exactly what they want to do, they know what they want to know, they don’t know what they don’t want to know. “the average citizen changing their life to a sustainable one will not make a difference its already proven in many studies, the only ways we can mitigate human effects on the climate is we need to invent new tech and techniques for resource collection” ==I am interested in these studies. Show them to me. Look at the difference between Alberta and Quebec. Alberta wants to push for mining their oil sands. The natives who live near there and other people are against it since processing oil sands is very polluting. I would like to know if Alberta has any plans long term. Look at Quebec. They are putting vehicle charging places all over the place. Most of the energy production or all of it is Hydro power. They calculate that if all vehicles are converted to EV, Quebec will need 3.5 Romain power plants. Romain is the name of one of their power plants. I don’t know how how many megawatt it produces. They are already building one or near completion. 2 y or 1 y ago, they signed a 24 billion$ contract to sell power to New York. //Edit: I think Romaine-1 is a 1550 MW station.

  104.  Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg-Gotha  "same number if people who died from the flu and upper respiratory infections in previous years....curious, yes?" ==Another guy told me the same thing once and I checked it out for myself and it turns out he is either lying or just spreading misinformation without being aware that it is misinformation. For example, check out the article on snopes. They have written: As governments fight the COVID-19 pandemic, Snopes is fighting an “infodemic” of rumors and misinformation, and you can help. Read our coronavirus fact checks. Submit any questionable rumors and “advice” you encounter. Become a Founding Member to help us hire more fact-checkers. And, please, follow the CDC or WHO for guidance on protecting your community from the disease. Someone named Rogan O’Handley says COVID has a lower death rate than the flu yet we don’t mandate masks for the flu so why are we doing it for COVID?! Oh right, Democrat fearmongering. This claim is false and dangerously downplays the severity of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In terms of the case fatality rate, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes as the number of people who die from a given condition, medical experts argue that COVID-19 is, in fact, deadlier than the seasonal flu. Though COVID-19 fatality rates vary largely depending on available medical infrastructure within a country, Johns Hopkins University of Medicine reports that the U.S. is among the 20 countries most affected by the virus and has a mortality rate of 3.4%. By comparison, flu infections over the last decade have resulted in a mortality rate hovering around 0.1%. You can read the rest of the article on their website. I am not going to quote the entire thing here.

  120.  @alexiapucci4482  “Simple, just like what is present now, arrest the parent for child abuse.. “ ==My question was about two 13 y olds having sex. What do you want to do about this? Sure, I am in favor of arresting parents who abuse their child. “Also your say whats so dangerous as a boy transitioning to a girl ? A couple things have to come in factor, 1) the childs mind is not fully developed and many have regretted it doing it at an early age as they change their mind later on” ==Alright, if that is true, then they can delay it but how long are they going to delay it? Sexual orientation is something that is determined early on. By age 8 or so. I am not an expert on this gender dysphoria issue but perhaps it is similar. “my kid wanted tattoes all over their arm and told them to have one and wait until adult and decide then, guess what, they changed their minds.” ==That’s not surprising but people change their minds even when they are an adult. A tattoo is just decoration. Why does the government have laws preventing kids from getting a tattoo? “Bottom line, parent has a right to be notified and first line of consent, then they can work with their child with psychiatrists etc” ==That’s fine. Seeing doctors and psychiatrists is good. I am just worried about religious parents. They seem to think that there is no such thing as gender. I have been told multiple times that the genitals determine who you are: male or female and that it can’t be changed because that is what their god wants. “Imagine an adult takes your minor child and has sex with them and just because your child agrees to it you have no right to press charges and know anything about it.” ==That is different. An adult can pressure a kid to have sex or get married. Such things happen in old time communities, in certain countries, in mormonism.

  157.  @Smokedouttasian  I don’t know how reliable solar, wind, geothermal is. For Quebec, most of the energy is hydro power and it is very reliable. It will always depend on the region. For example, Germany is moving away from coal and are investing heavily into wind power. Some people use batteries. Some use molten salt: NaNO3. When there is a dip in power generation, the molten NaNO3 at 450 C is used to generate power. I assume they use the Peltier effect. Germany seems to have a long history of having great chemists, great physicist. It is also a benefit to them when they don’t have oil tycoons. Quebec also doesn’t have petrol and no petrol tycoons here. In the case of the USA, the republican party seems to be all oil tycoons. For example, Donald is not an oil tycoon but since he is a republican, he says “Wind energy? It causes cancer. And what do you do when there is no wind. Little johhny will be in the dark, unable to do his homework.” I am paraphrasing but I saw he say something like that in a couple of speeches. What he is saying “Absolutely not. We are not going to invest in anything else.” There was the case of the electric tank. Donald was making fun of it. He said, now they are trying to make an eco friendly tank. The reality is that China is doing research on it. The benefit is to have a silent vehicle. I don’t know much else about it. I don’t know if it is a practical idea. I’m just showing you the attitude of the republicans. I told you about the attitude of Ford, Chrysler and the rest. I don’t know how reliable industrial scale batteries are. Instead of crushing the EV1, how about the CEOs and their team of research act like teachers: get on TV, show us what the data shows, what the problems are, what they are trying to solve. If a battery needs replacement, the energy generated by the system (wind, solar, etc) would be used by the factories to make a new one. Exactly how much it would cost, I wouldn’t know. “what people perceive as living a sustainable life style” ==That is something else. I’m not even sure what a sustainable life style is. If you want to recycle metal and glass, that is the best. For plastic, they tend to recycle PET and polyethylene but most of it goes to land fills or some other country. People are being lied to about this plastic recycling stuff. The EV is here. The big boys found out that it is hard to push back. The top guys are getting older and they will die. The next generation realizes that the problems will happen on their time. So, now we have the big car boys advertising their EV on TV here in Quebec. I am seeing plenty of Teslas and other EV in the streets. I would not be surprised if half of cars on the street become EV by 2030. Another solution would be to keep using gasoline cars. Make industry that will use the hydro electricity to make something like gasoline. That way, all cars from 1900 and upwards continue to function.

  162.  @hunter5369  "Well then the government would not be able to Bring into the country those ukranians that are here to replace you" ==Ukraine is at war with Russia and so, you will have a portion who are not interested in war. They just want to live the one life they have. Other countries, such as India, Algeria, Egypt and so on are not at war. They come here, often know english or french, they come here for a good job and they can own a home here and in their country. How many canadians own a home here and also in England or France? For example, the reason why my family left Lebanon was that it had a religious war for 17 y, from about 1975 to 1987. I am not arab so there is no reason for me to go back. I am armenian and this european style is more fitting. I don’t care for religion. Religious symbols don’t belong at the state level. The state needs to be neutral. I find it strange that Canada brings here women who are covered head to toe and don’t want to ID themselves to the police. It is a very bad idea to let religion take control of a country. Look at the USA. One side sees Donald as a demigod, as Jesus, as someone sent by their god. I have never seen a politician being loved that much in Canada. The USA is near the point of a civil war. When you are so much infatuated with your religion, you begin to think that the other side falsified something and you lost the vote. You become absolutely certain that you are absolutely correct and the other side is absolutely evil.

  194.  @Cafeallday222  “Trust the science” wasnt exactly friendly to any questioning of it possibly being wrong” ==Scientists argue all the time. There isn’t much trust in science. It is not like religion where who knows who wrote some holy book or holy script or some thing written on goats with insect juice. We don’t know where the originals are, who the original author is, through what changes the mythology has gone through over the centuries as it passes by priest to priest. Science is an open system. There are no popes and people who have a special antenna in their head receiving messages from the alien gods. Anyone with talent can study and get a PHD and join in. There are also many technicians that give aid to the lead researches. Even if you falsify data today and fool some people now, eventually, you might get caught. That is something that has happened in the field of cod fusion, in the field of archeology/paleontology. Or maybe you are talking about the trust from the general public. Gaining the trust of the general public requires making educational films and answering questions. More importantly, the public needs to study a topic sufficiently. Where are the fossils? Why are there missing links? C14 dating of coal says that it is 4 ky old? and other such questions, I have seen often. The questions are good but they are asking me. I answer but I don’t change minds bc it ties into their religion (young earth creationism). One recent question was, how do they know that the CO2 in the atmosphere, that the 30% comes from human activity? That answer is available publicly, yet she asked me. I answered. I don’t know if she understood or changed her mind. I am certain she did not change her mind.

  199.  @sandystanley1237  The CO2 emissions from volcanic sources are being kept track of and their contribution is insignificant. There is the Calvin cycle. C13 is a slightly more massive atom compared to C12. It is more sluggish and thus, it is slower in chemical reactions. The probability of a CO2 molecule in participating in the Calvin cycle is higher when the C atom is a C12. As a result, plants have a higher proportion of C12 compared to C13. This is called the C12 to C13 ratio. In other words, animals and plants are poor in C13. Geological sources of carbon, have a different C12/C13 ratio. They are richer in C13. For petrol and coal, analysis shows that the C12/C13 ratio matches that of plants and animals, therefore, petrol and coal come from lifeforms. Some people, such as christians have claimed that petrol and coal are geological and that they are continuously produced. The isotopic evidence above shows that they are wrong. Also, all coal is ancient. I think it is said that they are from 220 million y ago since this was a prime period where a lot of trees were produced but there were no decomposers. Once lignin decomposers came along, coal production stopped. Also, coal deposits sometimes show wood patterns, leaf patterns, so this makes it very clear that coal is from a plant origin. When humans burn petrol and coal, they release the C12/C13 ratio as CO2 into the atmosphere. As a result, the CO2 in the atmosphere becomes C13 poorer. Then, it is a matter of bookkeeping. Since it is known how much coal and petrol is being burned, it is possible to calculate how much the C13 levels will be reduced in the atmosphere. Some have suggested that the majority of the CO2 increase in the atmosphere is from volcanic sources. If that were the case, the C12/C13 ratio in the atmosphere would not drop, would not change. “recently in Austria a Roman outpost was discovered in a receding glacier telling me there was no ice there then” ==I have never heard of it. Which paper reported that?

  228.  @re-replied  That is true and the primary reason why NATO exists is that bolshevism exists, and they took control of Russia by force and they invaded neighboring countries and thus, you had the Soviet Union, a kind of union where none of the people in the various countries were happy about it except those you had authority. It became obvious to the USA and friends that Soviet Russia were trying to expand by force and that their turn is coming. As soon as Soviet Russia fell, each member state quickly quit the union. The only holdout was Armenia since they had good relations with Russia and they have Turkey to their west and Azerbaijan to their East. Eventually, Armenia learned that Russia is not going to help them. Armenians are deluded. They are very religious. They think that being a christian is a membership to some kind of secret club where everyone is a brother and they help each other. Being a muslim is a membership. When something happens to the palestinian, almost every muslim nation stands up and complains. Billions of muslims are upset over the treatment of palestinians. Western nations are more like businesses. If you have petrol, if you have maybe lithium and other resources, they get interested. For example, Iraq was like an investment. The USA invested by having a war with Sadam and the USA won and the USA became rich with a lot of petrol. The same should be done with Russia. Russia is huge and they can’t defend all of it. Ukraine is already given them a hard time. If one more country attacks Russia, Russia would not be able to handle 2 war fronts. Ukraine and NATO members can get very rich.

  236.  @Cdfitness90  “yes and if you look into the data of behavioral analysis and the big 5 personality traits youll see that men and women are nearly identical” ==Bruce Goldman and other researchers disagree with you. There is an innate difference between girls and boys, not just in humans, but also in other primates. “ex men are more violent women are more emotionally driven but not all men are violent and not all women are emotional wrecking balls” ==That’s correct. I am talking statistically. So yes, men are more violent. Most violent crimes are committed by men. There are more men in jails than women. “men are more interreted in things wimen are interested in people and being social“ ==That’s correct. That’s what the article from Bruce Goldman says. Sounds like you agree with me. “but to say hey i have a "trans" brain theres 0 credible scientific research to back that up and i mean would go against common sense” ==I don’t think there is a trans brain. There are male and female brains. It isn’t black and white either, meaning that we have no machine that plugs to the brain and does an analysis and claims that this is definitely a male brain. In trans cases, the treatment involves seeing a psychologist and talking about their interests. So, if a boy’s interests lean towards female interests and he prefers to become a female, wear female cloths and do all the other general social things that make a person a female, then he should do the conversion since he probably has a female brain and is born in a male body. It happens. Nature makes mistakes all the time. Some are born with 2 heads, some are born without any arms, some have a female brain in a male body.

  245.  @denisethompson1035  It’s not about fighting you. It is about accuracy and logic. I won’t burn. Neither will you or anyone. I recommend that you stop living in fear. Judaism doesn’t even have the concept of a torture room. You should look into the development of the christian religion. A certain cult took the concept of hell from the greek religion. It’s the idea of the underworld. Christianity is a mishmash religion of whatever existed in the local area. “The saints have been beheaded, burned, and tortured since they crucified Jesus.” ==Those are terrible things and that was a long time ago. Fortunately, the european culture has evolved and treats humans with some dignity. “The bible clearly says that they still alive will have to die the same way. It also says that the word is the only path to salvation.” ==It can say those things if it wants but those things are called just-so stories. There isn’t anything verifiable in there. “The bible has been changed and censored for centuries.” ==That’s normal. Once the master leader dies (Jesus in this case), the followers try to preserve the religion by writing it down. However, in this case, 50 to 125 y have passed since the actual events. The bible is not newspaper clippings. The gospels are anonymously written. We don’t know who wrote them. We don’t know anything about the people who wrote them. Maybe they were deluded. Maybe they had mental problems. This is why, the bible doesn’t get classified as history. It goes into the religion category. Yes, over time, the originals have degraded. Over time, scribes have made copies. How could these so-called holy text degrade and turn to dust? Couldn’t this god make something of a better material instead of insect juice, metal oxides, goat skin and papyrus? That’s the tools of primitive humans. “Burning alive, is very popular in some countries. If you have truly read the Bible, you know I speak truth.” ==It doesn’t take a genius to write that some christians are going to get tortured and killed. In fact, these were things already happening when the bible was written (as loose leaf). Some people can’t tolerate people of other religions. Some people can’t even tolerate a different hairstyle or jeans or lipstick. It’s a huge planet with all sorts of people. “and the evil will burn.” ==The important thing is that I don’t burn and torture and hurt people. I am against such barbaric behavior. The god/Jesus of the bible comes from barbaric times. The past is the past and I can’t change it. The people who wrote the Bible were living in the past and they imagined a god from their time period. A hateful, vengeful, angry, violent, killer person that throws people into a torture chamber. Try not to be like that Jesus character.

When something happens to the palestinian, almost every mu chocolate slim nation stands up and complains. Billions of mu chocolate slims are upset over the treatment of palestinians. Western nations are more like businesses. If you have petrol, if you have maybe lithium and other resources, they get interested. For example, Iraq was like an investment. The USA invested by having a wa chocolate r with Sadam and the USA won and the USA became rich with a lot of petrol. The same should be done with Ru chocolate ssia. Ru chocolate ssia is huge and they can’t defend all of it. Uk chocolate raine is already given them a hard time. If one more country at chocolate tacks Ru chocolate ssia, Ru chocolate ssia would not be able to handle 2 wa chocolate r fronts. Uk chocolate raine and NATO members can get very rich.

  271.  @truthmatters758  PART 5: What do you experience? I don’t think anyone is being deceived by a guy named devil or satan. Such things are all in your head. Primitive humans were afraid of invisible foes because they didn’t understand the world around them. So, they made up good guys and bad guys. In christinaity and islam, the jewish god character has been made into the ultimate good guy and the satan character has been made into the ultimate bad guy. In some religions, such as the greek and roman religion, the gods aren’t strictly good or evil. They have characteristics of both, which is more realistic. I would say all religions are man made and christianity is a religion among hundreds of others. It’s just that it became popular with our ancestors and it is very much integrated into the culture right now so that to many, it does not seem strange. To someone who has never heard of it, it would seem strange that a god has a son with a human female and that the goal of his existence is to get killed by police officers. I’m sure that the Book of Enoch is nice but in the end, it is just ink on paper and anyone can buy some ink and paper. Which particular part do you have in mind? Do you have a particular point to make? Which part is in parallel with Matthew Luke Mark and John? I pray that evidence becomes important for you. Reality is not something that you just read on pages. It has to be something that is observable and it has to be observable by many. This is why science is so successful and there is only one of it instead of having thousands of different institutions claiming that they are the true church and all others are false.

  291.  @MV-wb2cz  "There is a very easy and simple explanation for this phenomenon. Ever heard of El Nino? That's what we are experiencing right now. The sun goes through cycles hot and cold. Go back to school." ==But how did you learn such great things such as El Nino and Sun cycles yet scientists have never heard about such things? Are scientists idiots? I have good news for you. El Nino are factored in. I think it was El Nino that caused a bump for 2016. It was a slightly warmer globe. Here you go: Scientists from Europe’s Copernicus program also have 2020 tying 2016 as the warmest year on record, while the UK Met Office ranked 2020 as the second-warmest. “The previous record warm year, 2016, received a significant boost from a strong El Niño,” Schmidt said. “The lack of a similar assist from El Niño this year is evidence that the background climate continues to warm due to greenhouse gases.” Sun cycles: The radiation output of the Sun does fluctuate over the course of its 11 year solar cycle. But the change is only about one-tenth of 1%—not substantial enough to affect Earth’s climate in dramatic ways, and certainly not enough to be the sole culprit of our planet’s current warming trend, scientists say. “The small measured changes in solar output and variations from one decade to the next are only on the order of a fraction of a percent, and if you do the calculations not even large enough to really provide a detectable signal in the surface temperature record,” said Penn State meteorologist Michael Mann. The link between solar activity and global warming is just another scapegoat for human-caused warming, Mann told LiveScience. You think that higher intensity light from the Sun is warming the Earth. I have good news for you. Scientists are not as stupid as you think. Better yet, they have the equipment to take measurements. The solar rays haven’t changed much. What has changed is the amount of infra-red rays being emitting from Earth into space. This is something that is measured using satellite imagery.

  301.  @4pharaoh  “The answer was given to you. You would not look.” ==It is a conspiracy theorist website and like I said, I don’t have the time or means to verify every little thing that is said. I need good sources. Reputable sources. I want people who are on the inside to provide evidence that they are on the inside. They should take some documents, scan them or take a picture and publish it. They should also provide proof that they are on the inside. For example, one person who was on the inside gave us source code coming from Microsoft. It was their source code for OpenGL. I was able to confirm that it was real. “MSM says (x) theses 10 alternative sources say (y) now investigate” ==I haven’t counted them but I would not be surprised if the alternative sources (websources) outnumber the MSM. It would be like comparing Sony which is a giant to the many little hardware shops that do machining and tooling. Small to medium enterprises outnumber the giants. “Try this: (one of thousands of options you could choose) look at child death rates due to the H1N1 (swine flu) compare with CoVid. Now: Reconcile with what YOU see what YOU have witnessed happening all around you. Stop only when it ALL makes sense.” ==Show me the numbers and tell me the sources. “You choose to blindly follow or think for yourself.” ==But aren’t you blindly following what some other people have published on their website? Face the fact. It is a matter of trust. You are trusting person X and distrusting person Y. I want to know why you distrust MSM? “I spent many thousands of hours before and after retirement studying science.” ==Yes, science is superb. “The meaning of the fine structure constant” ==How did you measure the fine structure constant?

  303.  @4pharaoh  I don’t think that getting the vaccine will make this problem go away because the virus has spread quite a bit. As it spends time in various human hosts, it will gain some mutations. Some of it will be damaging to itself but some will help it gain new features. This has already happened. There is a South African and an England strain already. It’s the same with he HIV virus and basically, all viruses and bacteria. Which one was the virus that was completely eliminated? Small pox. That one didn’t have so many hosts so the vaccine method worked. But who knows, maybe it still exists somewhere, in some animal. The other reason the vaccine method will fail is that there is fear about it and there are religious aspects to all this. There is a counter culture happening. Therefore, such people will help the spread of the virus. I asked you if you are religious but you didn’t answer. Why not be honest with me? In countries where the government beats up the people, such as China, they can handle such disasters and they have. Countries that don’t have a counter culture, such as South Korea and Japan will be able to handle this disaster. No, I’m not saying that you should just stick to youtube. I’m saying that anybody can rent a server, setup a forum and creatively spread information. I use to get letters telling me that I have to send a copy of a letter to 10 people or else something bad will happen to me. That’s just one example. This world is filled with creative people with lots of imagination. “Sorry son, I assume you are a paid troll.” ==I’m just trying to understand you. What makes people want to believe in unsources random info from the web? “people that can think independently.” ==How is thinking independently going to save you? How about the people around you? You do have family and friends right? For example, someone who’s channel I follow, her cousin died of COVID-19. Is that something that you want?

  304.  @4pharaoh  The cool-aid expression comes from a certain christian group that committed suicide by drinking flavor aid. It was a church started by a paranoid person named Jim Jones. He killed himself and his men gunned down a politician and his aids. Most of the science deniers these days seem to be of that type, such as you. The flu is still around. You can get tested and they can tell you. If you test positive for COVID-19, you get added to the database and this gets reported on the news and various other official outlets. There is no reason to think that the government is out to get you. Stop reading random stories from people you don’t know on the web. Like I said, any bozo can rent a webserver, setup a forum, a blog and spread none sense on the web. The web is an open platform and any none professional can sit behind the keyboard and anonymously spread rumors. The COVID-19 is not going to go away easily in freedom loving countries such as Canada, USA, Australia. It’s going to cripple the economy further and cause more health damage since there are people helping it spread. People like you. There is always a price to pay. That’s what I told a native american some weeks ago. He thinks that abandoning his ancestral ways and living the european lifestyle is good. Granted, he is making good money. But, there is always a price to pay. If you want freedom and you really want to go to church so that your master leader saves your soul, then there will be a price to pay. “They just renamed it Covid” ==Oh yes. In the scientific community, it’s easy to get away with none sense. That’s why they require top marks and original research to get a PHD. Sure thing buddy! Dude, wake up. In the scientific community, they will tear you apart. One recent example are the 2 clowns that claimed to discover cold fusion.

  318.  @Trevoroxx  Every country that was part of the soviet union quit as early as possible, as quickly as possible. The Russians abused their allies, took resources to benefit Russia mostly. Also, if you loved your country, even if you wrote a poem, the Russians would use their agents to take you out or they take you to Russia and from their, you end up in northern part of Russia. The only country that had a very close tie with Russia was Armenia and eventually, that fell apart in after September 2020, when Armenia lost the war with Azerbaijan, since Russia was siding with Azerbaijan/Turkey, which was a moment of opportunity for the west to approach Armenia. Check out Vasily Kovalyov. As far as I know, any country that is allied with the west does so out of freedom of choice while for the Soviet Russia, they invaded Armenia and took it by force and probably did so for other nearby countries as well. I don’t think any country willingly wanted to join Soviet Russia. Putin has setup, I think it is called the OSTC, yet it did not protect it closest ally, Armenia. Armenia is about to quit that association. Putin sent a letter to quit, good riddance, we don’t need you. In the case of NATO, the USA takes it seriously and sends support when there is a problem. Germany is a good example. The eastern side germans were always trying to flee and come over to the west. Not a single west german wanted to go to the east. When the soviet union feel, every ex-soviet country was happy to leave and they had control again over their own country. I am not saying that communism is bad. I think that the version that Russia had setup was quite brutal.

  351. ​ @toedrag-release  “Right now electric vehicles are great if you live in the city and don't drive much” ==What happens if you drive a lot? What my friend did was that he went to video tape a wedding. The camera’s battery lasts a few hours. Then he switches batteries. The empty battery is placed on charge. He continues to video tape. That is something that has already been proposed but EV car batteries are expensive. Are people willing to pay and keep such batteries at home? “Second you see all the cars at the gas station?” ==Yes, the population has gone up and lifestyle has shifted. Farmers quit and come to the city. We all want the good life. How many are willing to turn backwards, go to the old days of riding a horse or mule and just doing farming? “Now imagine those cars taking hours to fill up and how clogged they'll be” ==The thing is that a discharged battery contains “unprepared chemicals”. They contain the waste product. For example, lead acid batteries contains PbSO4 on the cathode and anode. You need to charge them to get the “prepared chemicals”. We need Pb on the anode and PbO2 on the cathode. That takes energy and time. It is like converting CO2 and H2O back to gasoline. Should we throw the PbSO4 into the streets and just fill up on Pb and PbO2? It can’t be done. The petrol mines contain nearly “prepared chemicals”. They just need to do distillation and reforming and we get the mixture that is called gasoline. They also use petrol as a source of energy to do that work. I don’t know. Maybe capacitors are the solution. “I'm not even going to get into transportation trucks and the fiasco that would be. E.Vs are only competitive because gasoline cars exist so there's less pressure on the charge stations.” ==You think that will be a fiasco? What do you think the future will be like. Let’s say the year is 2300. The world population is 20 billion and even more people are living the good life. Is there going to be enough petrol, platinum, palladium, rhodium, indium in the mines or lithium in the mines? The world is headed to famine, chaos, violence. That is the question: what should we do today? Should we only focus on today’s problems? Should we worry about the year 2300 or 2500 or 4000 or what? “Nuclear is a far better option if an area is able to do so.” ==Whatever humans do, there will be a price to pay since there is no mechanism in nature to deal with the waste. If you mean using uranium, there is a limited amount of U235. Most reactors just split U235 while the U238 gets converted to Pu239 which tends to go to making nuclear weapons. “The building solar fields takes up alot of space for little reward.” ==Solar panels last a long time. I suppose the silicon will suffer from electron migration eventually. I assume each cell can go beyond 100 y. I really don’t know. There is too much I don’t know. Wind power: maybe the turbine would last 50 y. I don’t know. I’m sure that it will suffer from gear wear slowly. “I'm not against renewable energy but the technology we currently have isn't where we need it to be to actually make the country into a sustainable one. The other issue arises that you could take Canada into the stone age literally no emmisions whatsoever and you won't put a dent in climate change. So really it's just a waste of money it'll put Canadians into more hardship and it won't impact anything...so just a waste of time, money and resources.” ==Hydro-Quebec has a research department. The work on battery technology and various things. They collaborate with other labs. Also, for Quebec, if everyone today switches to all EV, there needs to be 1.5 new Romain Power plants built. The Romain is the name of one of their hydro plants. I don’t know how many megawatts it generates. They are building one now or is near completion. Also, last year, they signed a contact with New York. I think it is 24 billion$ worth. They are selling electricity to New York. //Edit: sorry, that is 3.5 Romaine power plants will be needed. I think Romaine-1 is a 1550 W station.
