Orientation doesn’t matter as much as you’d think on overcast days. And this is Germany. Also, transmission is a thing. So unless your “perfect world” also includes perfect weather and upgraded physics, you are just not really making sense.

In the end you’re just yet another person ginning up excuses for inaction by distorting facts. And god knows we good plenty of those.

Industrial processes use A LOT of hydrogen, and most of it is derived from hydrocarbons. The best use for “green hydrogen”, by far, is replacing grey industrial hydrogen.

Only then you can start replacing non-hydrogen use cases, like industrial heat and power generation and (eventually) transportation.

The fact that this is up for debate is a testament to the success of the misinformation we’ve been exposed to for thirty years or more.

Panels are cheap, and the single-phase inverters they are using are too.

Even with the odd placement, they are going to yield a few hundred watts per panel on sunny days. Since it’s so low most of it will be going directly to household consumption.

This doesn’t move the needle much globally speaking, but it’s also a tiny investment and (especially in Germany when even in sunny days the carbon footprint of what comes out of the grid is horrendous) it significantly lowers household carbon emissions.

Oh yeah. It’s always my mail. Not ChatGPT’s mail.

It just helps me pump up the word count to a point where the suits think it’s acceptable.

I prompt it with two sentences and I get two full paragraphs.

I understand your position, but I have to say that I appreciate communities that are at least a bit curated.

Seeing the same three guys having a go at each other about the same barely on topic thing in every post is such a let down.

The CIA set up a front organization that organized a tour of Nigeria in 1961 to promote American Values that included Nina Simone.

Honestly, it’s GREAT for replying to bull shit business emails.

On iOS in light mode, the status bar/clock/signal/battery indicator is white on and off white background in the main screens.

This is not ideal because I lose track of time and people yell at me.
