Not just that, they want you distracted from actual pollutants, like the medical waste.

They need charged with industrial sabotage.

It would be a very thorny issue. Theoretically it could go either way as tribal lands are US territories which are also technically their own country. They have significantly less ability compared to Puerto Rico to pull it off, due to loosing so many wars with the US and had their autnomy...

Just from a safety standpoint, I am reluctant to move away from gasoline power in cars. Batteries must be a nasty corrosive acid or worse base due to the mechanism of their function (ion transfer). If you get splashed by gas, it evaporates. If you get splashed by battery acid, your skin evaporates.

While an excellent power source, hydrazine is incredibly toxic. Gasoline realy is a super chemical with how it is both energy dense and incredibly safe.

Also the massive amounts of energy needed for industry.

This is why animal testing is critical, no form of a-priori knowledge or simulation can reveal unknown unknowns.

It does have the smell of an academic discovering a problem and then rushing out to create some clever solution without even bothering to check if working men had already found and implemented a different, possibly better, solution.

Also regular maintenance, opportunity costs, and potential legal costs (A neighbor thinks its ugly and sues you for bringing down their property value).

I've never doen the math, but I have long suspected that if you include manufacturing cots, a wood and sailcloth windmill is far more environmentally friendly than those big carbon fiber monstrosities.

It would be fun for the states to pull eminent domain on federal lands.

Chickens are one of the most nutrient efficient sources of meat, second only to fish.

We will use electricity to process carbon-dioxide and water into hydrocarbons before we stop using them as fuel. They are just too energy dense not to use. The only thing more energy dense is nuclear, but that has a much poor power to weight ratio.

Most of Russia is uninhabited, there are few enough places were people actually live that rial lines work for them.

That works great for small European nations and Russia, but not for the United states where you have people spread out over an entire continent. Comparison of the US to Europe is apples to oranges just do to the sheer scale of the United states, it would be more accurate to compare individual...

Some quick google math puts that at equivalent 37 tons of Lithium-Ion Batteries, and I am using the high numbers for the batteries.

Electric trucks can be used to get trailers form the train station to a warehouse, but cannot be used for long distance hauling. You just can't replace a hundred gallon gas tank with batteries.

Poor people will just ignore it, much like drivers licenses.

If they really cared about the environment, they would ask for the Chinese fish poaching fleets to be declared pirates.

Actually, has any greenhouse gas been experimentally verified to actually be a greenhouse gas? Has anyone ever put the gas in a long tube and verified that it blocks infrared light? At the temperature and gas pressure that it is claimed to act as a greenhouse gas?
