Great balance and hand pads!

Very nice

Part of it no doubt. Trillions of dollars are invested in existing infrastructure with 50 to 70 year life cycles. You don’t just throw that out. Oil and gas is responsible for 85% of our electrical generation. It will be a long time before it is over thrown. The most damning plot of all

Oil and gas are cheapest because it’s so abundant, capital costs are low, it’s energy dense, and dependable. Renewables and nuclear can’t check all of those boxes. Russia doesn’t have more oil than the US or Middle East. Production decline curves, gas to oil ratios, and water / gas floods and...

Hydrocarbons rule because they are cheapest. That’s the challenge

Ok sure, but what about economics?

I think everyone gets caught up on operating costs. Capital costs matter a lot. Even Inslee in the last democratic debate mentioned the exhorbitant upfront costs in nuclear. Yes NIMBY is an issue. It’s going to be hard to win public opinion

Capital costs are extremely high (like 5x more than natural gas) and build times are long (like 10+ years). Operating costs are lower although it is dependent on the price of natural gas (very low for the foreseeable future - shale has changed everything). Over the lifetime of the plant, it’s...

So... expensive? Not to mention getting rid of the waste...

We have an excellent understanding of climate forcing mechanisms. Anthropogenic contributions are clearly the cause of post-industrial warming.

I don’t know where you are getting your information but nuclear is extremely expensive. Especially post - Fukushima

Snot boogie

The thing is, energy transitions are driven by economics. Focusing on emissions brings the economics into balance by pricing in negative externalities. The reality is that renewables are expensive and making them competitive with cheap hydrocarbons will require a combination of taxation...

Well there’s a difference between a carbon tax and carbon credits. A carbon tax taxes emissions bridging the the price gap between the price of hydrocarbon products and its negative externalities that are not priced in. It effectively closes a market failure loophole. Carbon taxes make a lot of...

Let me keep piling on. Dante’s first step is incredible. Best in the league. But once he gets to the rim, it’s like he fell in a hole. He doesn’t really elevate, he throws up these wimpy underhanded out of control layups. Like who gives a **** about your first step when you finish like that?

I feel like there’s the Alec Burks, CJ Miles, Dante Exum class of Jazz players that every year you hear how hard they work and all the talents the possess and every year they suck worse than the year prior.

Dante is a beta cuck

That too Kobe is Dante’s idol. I think Kobe would literally kill Dante

Dante soft like pampers
