$150 for E85 capability for my new van has cut that vehicles GHG production in half for the life of the vehicle, only comparable electric option is an electric F150 with a topper for $60,000+ and it would reduce GHG less... Sorry, your numbers don't make sense!
Wind farm is selling to you for ~$0.01/kWh? That's a sweet deal. For you solar 100% doesn't make any sense but a BEV sure would
As long as you people call it "fossil fuel", it's "part of the carbon cycle".
'Alright, imagine there's a big circle called the "carbon cycle." This circle is like a game where carbon moves around and changes forms. Carbon is a special element that can be found in lots of things, like plants, animals, and even the air we breathe.
Problem is, EV won't do the job- Not enough charging points for a start as well as severe weather. Teslas are nonstarters, nearest dealer is almost 200 miles away so a service costs a minimum of $500. The only halfway viable EV out here is a Bolt, and only if I could buy it for $10k or less new. Again, EVs aren't ready for "prime time"...Wind farm is selling to you for ~$0.01/kWh? That's a sweet deal. For you solar 100% doesn't make any sense but a BEV sure would
Let's compare options that actually exist at scale. Some market segments like Vans haven't seen enough BEV action yet.
What's the most comparable vehicle to a Model 3? Dealers choice. You can get a Model 3 for ~$33k. Over 10 years you'd drive ~120,000 miles? With the incredible deal you're getting from your local wind farm the energy to drive 120,000 miles would cost (120,000miles)(3.5miles/kWh) = 34,286kWh => $0.01/kWh => $342.86 . What's the most comparable new ICE? How much would it cost to drive 120,000 miles on E85?
No, the feedstocks absorb carbon while growing.
Controlled (prescribed) burns can't be safely completed if the fuel loadings are too high, thus substantial thinning is required before those burns can be done without the risk of the burn getting out of control. Up to 90% of the biomass needs to be removed before a prescribed burn can be safely done in some cases.
If biofuels are produced from those forest wastes, the carbon is recycled but useful work can be produced from the biofuels, unlike just letting the wildfires burn out of control. Criteria pollutants are also very well controlled in the biofuels scenario.
Yes, it's a process to sequestering carbon. Not sure of the cost of this fuel, but EPA did a rigorous study in its RFS documents that would produce BBD without CCS) at about $3.50/gallon in today's dollars.
Problem is not lack of computing power, the problem is unreliable data. Garbage In= Garbage Out!
Star wars......
Or delicious burgers. I had some unwanted dairy goat bucks a few years ago turned into hamburger. Delicious!
Please tell me you didn’t cook them on a solar powered electric stovetop
I would post the ChatGPT response to this, but it has so much profanity, it would make a sailor blush.
In Mr. Dizon's honor, I got rid of my WMO along with the rest of my trash, in four burn barrels last night. That stuff burns HOT!
In Michigan I guess we’re lucky, no need for burn barrels. We just pile our crap up and then when beer goes on sale... spring cleaning!
Need a couple BIG fans set up around that fire and you’ll have one heck of a “fire tornado”In Michigan I guess we’re lucky, no need for burn barrels. We just pile our crap up and then when beer goes on sale... spring cleaning!
No electricity, but we do have several water bottles with combustible liquid placed within the teepee. Set off with either a Roman candle or a wick along the ground made of combustible liquid. Full ignition is promptly obtained
We do the same here in Texas, but it's easier to pour WMO in a 55 gallon drum and burn your trash in there. The best is when I have things like car upholstery or plastic crap laying around. Seeing flames that turn purple, blue, green, an off color of orange.In Michigan I guess we’re lucky, no need for burn barrels.

A friend of mine in northern Alabama has a harbor freight blower, attached to some piping to his fire pit. I drill holes in all my barrels for air to get in, but nothing like his forced induction burn pit. He's melted all kinds of crazy s#it in his pit.
Last thing that got grilled in there were some mice I caught trying to eat vintage computer documentation. I would also say grilled wasps, but I hit those directly with the map gas torch.Ah, nothing like a nice juicy steak grilled over a garbage and gasoline fire!
