Idiot boomers (husband and wife) who planned to sail from Nova Scotia to the Azores Islands solely on batteries and solar power both died before making it out of Nova Scotia.https://archive.is/P0qRDDo people not understand that producing the raw material for and then manufacturing batteries and solar panels itself consumes fossil fuels? People treat solar and wind and batteries as magical free energy with no cost to harvest or store--The Royal Canadian Mounted Police responded to calls on July 10 that a 10-foot inflatable lifeboat containing human remains had been discovered on Sable Island National Park Reserve, according to a news release from the agency.The authorities did not identify the remains, but said they believed they were those of a 70-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman from British Columbia. A Facebook post by the man’s son, James Clibbery, later identified them as James Brett Clibbery and his wife, Sarah Justine Packwood, who had left Halifax Harbor in Nova Scotia on June 11 bound for the Azores. They were reported missing on June 18.In a video on their YouTube channel, Theros Adventures, the elder Mr. Clibbery said they had named their trip to the Azores “The Green Odyssey” to show it was possible to travel without burning fossil fuels. Their 42-foot GibSea sailboat was powered by electricity and solar energy, the couple said.“It is to show that you can travel, and you can do long distances without burning fossil fuels, without climbing onto a plane and filling the air with carbon dioxide,” Mr. Clibbery said.
>>2757010>boomers die>zoomers seethe
>>2757010Are you trying to say that their batteries and solar panels are responsible for their deaths after just 7 days of sailing?No reason a solar system and batteries would not do for such a trip that I can see.
>>2757010Roe Jogan on the right
>>2757010I think their boat caught fire. Idk why they keep saying it was something else. Ofcourse the journalists are braindead and haven't wrote on any useful information, only some of the articles even mention where the raft was found. Doesn't say if they had an EPIRB, how old the bodies were, nothing. Journalists are retarded
>>2757010I ain't reading allat
>>2757104You're not supposed to actually be informed, just have a simplistic knee-jerk reaction to reinforce whatever ideas you already held. In this case probably>boomers bad>green energy bad>global warming hoax
>>2757159Yes I'm sure the NYT are heavily against global warming. Retard
>>2757329as in against it being real
>>2757010Don't forget to renew your renewables
>>2757010>Do people not understand that producing the raw material for and then manufacturing batteries and solar panels itself consumes fossil fuels?Everyone knows this, and it’s not an argument against electric power being more efficient in the end still.
>>2757566The arguments for electric power NEVER EVER take into account the energy costs of mining the ingredients for and manufacturing the batteries. NEVER. It's always just "well look this isn't burning fossil fuels". Electric cars are produced by fossil fuels, refueled via fossil fuels, they are much heavier they are just SLIGHTLY QUIETER.
>>2757500Man I wish that was oil sands or radioactive waste instead
>>2757104Their boat caught fire? What's the skinny on that? I didn't see it in the article.If they were so detached from reality to believe they could 'save carbon emissions' or some such bullshit, then I could see how their electric boat system was wired improperly, unsafely, and that caused a short/fire and burnt it down. You didn't say electrical fire, but that's the suspicion I am going with.
>>2757594Radioactive waste is a non-issue.Burying literal tons of plastic waste from shitty inefficient wind farms is an actual fucking issue, not to mention the widespread destruction of nature when building those farms.Fuck wind power.Find a way to harness tidal waves for energy, and use nuclear until then.
>>2757593>fossil fuels grow on trees and don't have to be extracted and also never cause pollution
>>2757605>Radioactive waste is a non-issue.Cool, we can bury it in your garden then.
>>2757606I'm not saying fossil fuels are wonderful, I'm saying electric cars and vehicles save no energy whatsoever, they are simply quieter, MUCH more expensive, and offer far lower energy density per pound.
>>2757607Not an argument you brainlet retard.We have more than enough empty space for some lead lined concrete silos.The amount of waste per GW for nuclear is miniscule compared to the impact of damn near any other energy source available to us with today's tech.
>>2757611Why not your garden? It's not an issue, right?
>>2757612Why are you being dishonest and not discussing the topic?Is it because you are a <70 iq retard?A single fuel rod produces more power than the turbine blades buried in that picture above.What do you think will have the most negative impact on nature and the future for mankind?
>>2757609>they are simply quieterThat's already a big bonus. And they also reduce air pollution. You know, the stuff you breathe.
>>2757614You are dodging the question.
>>2757615>And they also reduce air pollution. You know, the stuff you breathe.no they don'tthey just produce pollution elsewhere downstream in the mining manufacturing and recharging process>big bonusoutweighed heavily by the downsides
>>2757619Fossil fuel cars cause pollution during manufacturing and during use. Electric cars only during manufacturing.
>>2757617No, I'm ignoring your deflection, since you are a dishonest faggot, and you should probably kill yourself.
>>2757621Let me rephrase so you can understand better: If radioactive waste is a non-issue, why can't we dispose of it near you?
>>2757623If plastic is a non-issue, why don't you eat it?Here, I replied as sincerely as you, now get to killing yourself.I'll even answer your dishonest attempt at deflection, because I don't want an ugly concrete structure to fuck up my view, you can live next to it without radioactivity being an issue.
>>2757624>If plastic is a non-issueI never claimed that.>because I don't want an ugly concrete structure to fuck up my viewOh, so it is an issue then?
>>2757625By that logic everything man-made is an issue, which I tend to agree with to a certain extent.You started that shit when I pointed out how it's a non-issue (hyperbole, have to specify that since you are low functioning autistic) compared to many other energy sources.
>>2757010Obvious suicide. Learn to infer from circumstances
>>2757630You claimed that it is a non-issue, which is false. I merely asked a question that you kept dodging.
>>2757634No, you went giga autist mode, because you are an actual retard.
>>2757500on one hand we have:>land fillson the other hand we have:>massive mines, vast industrial complexes, pollution/highly dangerous wasteRenewables are unequivocally the better option.
