If you really want to screw with Exxon's head, remind them we've had two successful power-generating fusion reactions in the last year.

Holy shit. Amazing

I’ve been running on rooftop solar since 9 February. Monthly bill from the grid is $22 which is the connection fee; excess generation is credited to my account to compensate for any winter billing. #winning

That is excellent news!

Brilliant!

This is good for the general public (a net gain, if they'll counteract the damages we've done to create them. at the very least, close to net zero.)
Bad for the industries.

climatenews.bsky.social•462 days ago

It’s also good for industries.

Ok, who do I write to so we can get this here

You love to see it

"but at what cost!' - petro corps

climatenews.bsky.social•462 days ago

Indeed. The oil and gas industry is addicted to subsidies and cannot make a profit without it and pretend to be knowledgeable about costs of energy investment

😂

gussets.bsky.social•462 days ago

We'd have that in the UK if there weren't backhanders into MPs pockets from the oil industry.

Someday the atmosphere will burn away so your windmills won't work, and the sun won't rise!

Then!!

Then you will understand how much you needed coal!!! 😂🥰

chiggyvr.bsky.social•462 days ago

By that stage, we will all *be* coal.

smollestbunny2.bsky.social•463 days ago

Moronic comment

corsayr.bsky.social•462 days ago

🤦‍♀️

of course, it was freaking sarcasm

smollestbunny2.bsky.social•462 days ago

Sorry. I did not understand it's truly hard to tell

climatenews.bsky.social•462 days ago

Haha

climatenews.bsky.social•463 days ago

We think it was sarcasm

smollestbunny2.bsky.social•463 days ago

I hope so. Hard to tell unless they make it clear it was sarcasm for me.

simonma.bsky.social•462 days ago

It think too that's sarcasm

By then the windmill cancer will have taken over and gained sentience.

samanthahagan.bsky.social•103 days ago

poor Santa, he even had to rehome his elves. All those shelves.

climatenews.bsky.social•463 days ago

Haha - indeed - in about a billion years 😅

corsayr.bsky.social•103 days ago

Ya sure, but you'll rue the day then. 🥰

climatenews.bsky.social•103 days ago

We’re setting the billion year alarm 😂

peatree.photography•462 days ago

Yep, those were the days...

martinsbarata.bsky.social•461 days ago

While the first part of the sentence is correct and is a record breaking stretch of time in PT the 2nd is not: + renewables in the grid does not automatically lead to lower utility bills. OTOH it is likely means lower future electricity bills. Also note that March April should bring new RE records.

degenink.bsky.social•462 days ago

The most reliable grids in the world ARE renewable energy grids. It's the polar opposite of what you hear on the news. I worked in the power generation industry, I'm a licensed engineer. So it's cheaper, more reliable and cleaner 😁 yet we don't have it cuz.... Business lol wtf

climatenews.bsky.social•462 days ago

Indeed.
