How do you deal with Firefox updates?

Car making without the tracking bullshit!

No biggie, friend.

Human women

As opposed to what, robot women?

(All women are human.)

Recycling uses even more energy than producing from scratch and also has a huge environmental impact

Alright, alright. With that extraordinary claim, I’m going to need you to back it up.

And we are delving into red-herring territory. The original discussion was focused on green energy surplus.

Infrastructure can be dismantled, its materials recycled, and then replaced with a newer, more efficient thing. And the energy to power this operation? Renewable.

Good points. Giving the surplus to folks who otherwise produce their energy with carbon sounds sensible.

What’s funny is that if we were talking about the quantity of petrol that we use no one would question the fact that it’s stupid to not push people to stop wasting it…

This is a false equivalency, because petrol is a limited resource. Renewable energy isn’t (by its own definition.)

But I do see the validity of your other points.

“I hate this option, so instead of voting for a more sensible option, I’ll directly mention that I’ll vote for the worst option ever. In a subtle way so that I’m not too obvious. But hopefully people reading me will be influenced, even by a tiny bit, to vote for the worst option ever. Because I’m being paid for the people who supports the worst option ever.”

Oh, we know.

Downvoters didn’t appreciate your pun. I did!

Aw shucks. Sucks.

Are there any articles out there I could read more about this?

You’re arguing with a trollbot. Don’t bother.

“I am a russian propaganda bot.”

its* creator.

Instead we should be working towards getting people to reduce their energy usage.

But in you scenario, why?

“We produce so much energy that we can use it in any way we want.”

I don’t see the problem with that.

What about huge underground reservoirs?

Hot thing loses heat, re-heat it with the excess energy!

So, dig deeper with machines powered with the excess energy. I don’t see the issue…

(I’m half-joking.)
