All the IPCC models assume massive amounts of sequestration, I believe
It’s a necessity at this point, even if all fossil fuel use stops globally tomorrow

If the overall goal is to increase the human population, it actually makes total sense
If the goal is to prevent murders, then no, it doesn’t make sense
There’s plenty of EVs with 300+ miles of range now. Shouldn’t be an issue.
carbon sequestration is not ever going to work
I don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s a thing that is currently being done. Not some future hypothetical tech.
But yes it is too expensive for now. Costs are coming down hopefully that continues to be the case.
And yes, the best, cheapest, most efficient way to reduce ghg is to eliminate fossil fuels.
Instead of offsets, companies should be pursuing direct carbon sequestration like with https://climeworks.com/
No estimates, no accounting magic. Just a direct measure of physical, measurable tons of carbon directly removed from the atmosphere.
Surveillance state.
For California at least, residential use is about 10% of all water usage iirc. So if data centers are dwarfed by that…not a big concern in the big picture.
The issue I guess is when data center usage sucks up all the local supply. State and region wide they don’t use much but they do use a lot in one small area.
Water is extremely important in most large scale cooling systems, whether it be swamp coolers (aka evaporative cooling) or traditional HVAC (aka chillers).
Not to mention a much higher carbon footprint.
The reason evaporative coolers are cheap is because they use a fraction of the electricity that chillers do.
And note that the majority of data center water usage is indirect via power generation, so using less water on site but more indirectly by consuming more power is both more expensive and less efficient.
Unfortunately, evaporative coolers are the best way to go, for now.
Screw data centers, I want to see desalination combined with nuclear power plants. They literally generate power by boiling water, it’s a match made in heaven.
We just need a few more advances in technology to remove impurities from brine and we’d also corner the table salt market.
I hate the fact that those dna samples will 100% end up in a government database of bioanalytics used to further spy on citizens.
Hmmm I wonder why the fuck that is
Mostly city kids arguing on the internet, I’d imagine.
This post is Jessica’s revenge on the sighted
Thanks. I may be an asshole, but I’m not a chaser. Or a transphobe.
I’m not a chaser, please stop with that. It’s one quote that was taken totally out of context.
iirc they’ll be able to respond to posts that were already loaded into their instance, and you’ll be able to see it, but if you respond, they won’t see the response.
They’re just not accepting any new data from blahaj. Blahaj hasn’t defederated from them, so blahaj is happy to accept any new data they throw at it.
I had a blahaj person make a similar response to a message of mine a few weeks ago, before hexbear was even on the radar. I just rolled my eyes and may have sent some sort of “wow, what a dumb take” response or something.
The carbon tax is supposed to (partially) go towards credits for EVs
