  3. Bollards need to be able to cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to vehicles.

  4. It'd be great to know how this works (or not!) on Windows especially (since nobody at has a Windows machine...) but any willing beta testing would be appreciated before we actually archive the real thing!

    Les voy a arruinar la representación: ok, es gay, pero también blanco, ex militar, cristiano, moderado (= derecha), q se considera un good clean gay (no como esos queers escandalosos), neoliberal orgulloso. Elite y pink capitalism. Todo por no elegir a un socialista o a una mujer

  7. And it would be a super bummer if we unnecessarily prevented ourselves from developing large-scale, dispatchable, zero-carbon, enhanced geothermal systems using similar techniques, by stoking public fears beyond reason:

  8. But all in all, it seems like a *relatively* minor risk, compared to others associated with oil and gas production, climate impacts of fossil fuel use, mercury and particulate pollution from burning coal... etc.

  9. Which isn't to say fracking related seismic activity is zero risk -- there've been a few times where real damage was caused, like in Prague, OK:

  10. This is why I am bothered by fearmongering reports of "thousands" of fracking related earthquakes. Like okay there are thousands of detected events, but seismometers are *really* sensitive. You will not feel, much less be put at risk by, a magnitude 3.0 quake.

    A good thread on how making steel can be adapted to very low carbon processes. Good engineering insights from many folks.

    Sometimes I call this kind of strategy "Paying the climate ransom." And sometimes it seems worthwhile, especially if you take the political economy of these industries into account. It may not be fair & just, but it's an expedient way around existing architectures of constraint.

    So again, we are going to need financial tools and policies to wipe out that fossil infrastructure quickly. Should we securitize the old blast furnaces and steel mills with low-interest public debt, and recycle the capital into new zero-carbon industrial infrastructure?

    And as with coal plants, gas pipelines, etc. sunk capital stands in the way: "But even if [we] can get hydrogen-based steel to work at a larger scale and lower cost [...] face an uphill battle to transform the steel industry, as existing blast furnaces will need to be replaced."

    Seems like electrolytic hydrogen production for direct reduction of iron ore would be a *great* candidate for soaking up excess midday solar or overnight wind production at high renewable penetrations.
