VPN uses 0 gallons.
Acktually, to use a VPN, you would need to turn on your PC or phone, which uses a small but existent amount of petrol -🤓
Solar power. Checkmate, atheists.
and EV car. also fuck petrol. and gallons while I'm here.
EVs solve about 2 of the 20 problems cars create.
While that's true, they "solve"* the two issues that are most pressing with ICE cars, air polution and fossil fuel use. I'd rather have EVs over ICEs, and I'd rather have walkable cities and robust public transit than either of the car options.
* are better, not perfect
perfect is the enemy of good.
With climate change, we have a multiplication of flooding and heat wave. Cars increase the effect of both of them. EVs or ICEs, it doesn't matter.
EVs are not and will never ever be the answer. It's a myth like many created by the car industry.
no one said they were, calm down.
It's nighttime doe
Pumped storage hydropower works all the time.
- it won't be in a few hours 2. if only we had some way of storing electricity for later use
Never give up
Collect moon and starlight
The real waste is in converting solar to electricity. Use fiber optics, powered by light! Simplify! 🥴
Hydroelectricity, nuclear, wind and solar BABEEYYYYYY!!!!!
Hydro destroys environments, uses enormous amounts of concrete and the related disasters have killed orders of magnitude more people than nuclear.
Orders of magnitude more than nuclear is a low bar, nuclear is quite safe. How does it compare to coal or oil?
Yeah if three gorges broke then it would be the biggest mass death event in human history. Hydro dams are at the bottom of my list
perfectly valid point to bring up on a community dedicated to hating on polluters even if it was originally just a joke. Pretty serious matters
Very hard to deliver milk over VPN
When was the last time you saw a milkman on a bus?
That was, of course, just a random example of a job that cannot be done from home. A lot of jobs do require physical presence of people, that's all I was trying to say.
Of course, a milkman would also require to travel to and fro their place of work, dunno why they cannot be on a bus for that.
You do not actually see many milkmen these days. A milkman's business was ran a bit like McDonalds's with the milkman buying the as an individual and then selling it door to door. Every single milkman that I have known has worked from home.
So kind of a bad example but I get your point. No not all people can work from home, but those who can should surely be given that option. I have a wife who is a civil servant. She is required to travel to work for 40% of her hours worked. This is for no other reason than going into work by direction of the Tory party. This was not really an issue until they moved the place of work 8 miles away. She literally has to pay for a bus, sit on a bus for an hour each way, while carrying all her PC equipment with her, just so she can do exactly the same job while sitting in an office. All her meetings are done online, even while in the office. So there is a lot to be said regarding this Tory agenda of forcing people to work from the office just to appease their Donors.
