article: charging your phone from 0 to 100% takes an additional 7 watt hours me: the equivalent of running a reading lamp for 4 minutes given 36 kwh in a gallon of gasoline, this is also the same as 1/13th of a teaspoon of gasoline perfect example of bluecheck innumeracyhttps://twitter.com/bcmerchant/status/1291087095478415365 …

2/ ALL expansion in our energy budget is reasonable solar is getting better every year, nuclear is far safer and better than existing energy sources we can and should double the amount of energy humans use, because energy use creates quality of lifehttps://twitter.com/CountJ0ecool/status/1291383643290533889 …

🍂 The Pectrichory 🍄 @The_PetrichoryReplying to @MorlockPOne possible value of wireless charging is to be able to make a phone with no openings at all. This increases its strength to withstand impacts and also makes it possible to fully waterproof. How many phones get replaced yearly? It's a substantial amount of energy to make one.4 replies 0 retweets 26 likesShow this thread -

4/ if only there was a way to capture the costs associated with things, and thus set incentives appropriately so that individuals make the trade offs that optimize global utility but to do that we'd need, I dunno, "prices", and "charge" for electricity no idea how that'd workhttps://twitter.com/bcmerchant/status/1291126851943849984 …

Brian MerchantVerified account @bcmerchantIf we do not change our attitudes towards innovation + design ethics period, we will continue to produce wasteful stuff—some of which will inspire even more wasteful stuff.

5/ imagine believing in 2020 that the market is incapable of incentivizing energy efficiency, contrary to the easily accessible historical record on the subject that shows it doing so Brian Merchant is the very dumbest person who believes himself clever https://twitter.com/bcmerchant/status/1291419365007478784 …

6/ or, perhaps, the phenomena of diminishing returns reducing the energy use of every single thing REGARDLESS OF COSTS ON OTHER AXISES is not a smart move like graph of someone losing weight for a while, then stopping MAYBE THAT'S THEIR TARGET WEIGHT https://twitter.com/physicspod/status/1291422934733651970 …

7/ The standard of living in the US is much higher than in other parts of the world. Human happiness is one of the things that any sane system should optimize for. North Korea uses far less energy per person than we do. This is not praise for NK. https://twitter.com/physicspod/status/1291426849894129667 …

Replying to @physicspod @MorlockP
if you think that the market equilibrium energy efficiency in the US is too low, you have to actually argue for that personally, I like having the things that those marginal extra gallons of gas buy me
