I don't know why rinselberg won't admit that he does not want to save the planet. He calls CO2 a pollutant. Imagine, the millions of old depleted batteries at the dump. I guess I should have said billions, world wide.
I don't know why rinselberg is advocating deplorable child labor to make those batteries. I guess rinselberg has not thought about how those children have to wash the mined cobalt in rivers, polluting them. Handling the cobalt with their bare hands. Perhaps rinselberg does not know that one can be poisoned merely by handling lethal material. By absorption through the skin.
I don't know why rinselberg wants to ask China for batteries and solar panels, so we can survive.
I also do not know why rinselberg thinks that wind and solar will provide for all our energy needs, plus desires. |

You didn't mention a source. Fake News .
I have warned you about your diet of news intelligence. The New York Slime, Counterfeit News Network, NBC nothing but crap, MSNBC. And you tout out your beliefs, when we know where you get them from,  .
Tell me all illustrious man, what, in your search gave you the success of Africa's witch doctors as opposed to America's real doctors ?
Why does Brandon want to buy Venezuelan dirty oil rather than let Americans "help save the planet" ?

Those are great questions, and they come straight from the great heartland of America. There's not another post office address that says "America" more clearly than "Bandera, TX". Fortunately, the answers are equally clear. Start with the "bullets":
- The Biden administration on Thursday [September 15, 2022] launched [a] floating wind turbine initiative that includes leasing enough deep-water acreage to support 15 GW of floating offshore wind capacity by 2035.
- The administration also set a goal of cutting floating wind farm costs by more than 70% to $45/MWh by the middle of the next decade through the Floating Offshore Wind Shot effort.
- Clean energy advocates said the initiative would boost offshore wind development. “Paired with the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act, these targets will dramatically reduce costs for offshore wind development, allowing deployment of clean energy at the scale needed to take action to address climate change,” American Clean Power Association CEO Heather Zichal said in a statement.
Moreover, "There is about 1,500 GW of fixed-bottom offshore wind potential in the United States and 2,800 GW of floating offshore wind potential, according to a study by the National Renewable Energy laboratory.
However, only about 40 GW of fixed-bottom offshore wind is under development in the United States and 0.1 GW of floating capacity has been deployed globally, according to the Biden administration.
While the U.S. has been slow to develop fixed-bottom offshore wind, the Biden administration aims to be a leader in floating offshore wind technology by building on its previous goal of adding 30 GW of offshore wind by the end of this decade.
The Floating Offshore Wind Shot, led by the departments of Energy, Interior, Commerce and Transportation, aims to slash the cost of floating wind technology.
“Achieving this cost target will require focused research, development, and demonstration to catalyze continued cost reductions, with a focus on manufacturing, engineering, and continued increases of offshore wind turbine capacity,” the White House said.
Bringing floating offshore wind technology to scale will unlock opportunities for offshore wind power off the coasts of California and Oregon, in the Gulf of Maine and elsewhere where the water is too deep for fixed-bottom wind farms, according to the White House."
Moving beyond that, "Clean energy advocates in California, which last month adopted a 25 GW offshore wind goal, praised the moves by the Biden administration.
'A moonshot target, with interim goals and tangible, targeted research and development funding are all key parts of the offshore wind puzzle that need to be put into place to help stave off the worst impacts of global warming,' Laura Deehan, Environment California state director, said in a statement.
The administration’s floating offshore wind target provides long-term regulatory certainty that will drive investments toward manufacturers, ports and shipbuilders, Liz Burdock, Business Network for Offshore Wind president and CEO, said in a statement.
'The future of offshore wind lies in deeper waters requiring floating technology, and this comprehensive plan sets the U.S. on a path to become a global leader in this cutting-edge industry and a major exporter of expertise and supplies,' Burdock said.
The Department of Energy on Thursday said it is offering nearly $50 million in research, development, and demonstration funding for floating wind technology, partly through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The funding includes $31 million for the second phase of an Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy program called Aerodynamic Turbines, Lighter and Afloat, with Nautical Technologies and Integrated Servo-control, or ATLANTIS."

Do think it will ever happen ? Brando says by 2035. What you are saying is that you can not force us to to buy electric cars overnight.
I remember, you floated the idea that you could save the planet, six miles at a time.
Do you remember that ?

Now you are touting wind energy .
Why didn't you start a new thread, to keep it organizational and generate more discussion, ?

Some people say that Direct Air Capture or Direct Carbon Capture needs to be developed and deployed at scale. These are envisioned as systems that remove CO2 from the air and sequester it in some way (underground) so that the CO2 does not contribute to global warming.
Other people say this is a rabbit hole that will not do good, or not do enough good to make it worthwhile.
The not so distant future (year 2100?) could see large fleets of aircraft, operating on a daily schedule, to spray "stuff" into the atmosphere that would effectively "air condition" planet Earth by reflecting sunlight into space. Or spraying "stuff" onto the ice packs of Greenland and Antarctica that would help the ice stay frozen. (The remaining land ice that hasn't already become part of the water in the oceans.) These fleets of aircraft would have zero carbon or very low carbon energy to power them. Aviation fuel produced from farm waste. Green hydrogen. Or electric-powered aircraft, with onboard batteries charged from Wind and Solar. Or fission reactors, if there can be a nuclear renaissance. Or fusion reactors, if there's that much progress with nuclear fusion. Or from a massive enlargement of GeoThermal. Or from Orbiting Solar Energy Farms. (The European Space Agency, I think, just committed some money to this idea. I think the Chinese are also "into" it.) Or from large, floating solar electricity farms that could be offshore, or floated on lakes and ponds where people wouldn't object to it. Or from solar electricity farms that coexist with farming, with crops that can tolerate the shade created by the solar electricity panels. Or... there was something else, but now I can't think of it. Maybe it was Genetically Modified organisms that produce electricity or combustible fuels.

The fallacy of this meme is that it's about what has already happened, instead of what is happening now and what is going to happen.
"Connect the dots."
"Canada Silver Cobalt Works aiming to be a big player in Canada's heartland for the two metals, and targeting EV battery market"
Friday, December 2, 2022.
| quote | Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc is a dual-focus precious metals and battery metals junior mining company with a valuable portfolio of critical energy metals projects based in safe and ecologically responsible jurisdictions.
The company recently discovered a major high-grade silver vein system at Castle East located 1.5 km from its 100%-owned, past-producing Castle Mine near Gowganda in the prolific and world-class silver-cobalt mining district of Northern Ontario [Canada.]
Canada Silver Cobalt Works has completed a 60,000m drill program aimed at expanding the size of the deposit with an update to the resource estimate underway. |

"Canada Silver Cobalt Works expands Greenfield lithium project in Ontario via new staking [claims]"
November 23, 2022.
| quote | The land package in the Cochrane district now spans 230 square kilometres (sq km) and the new claims are contiguous with the original deal, which was announced in November this year. That original letter of intent (LOI) has now been amended to include additional claims staked by both parties.
The land is contiguous to Power Metal’s Case Lake lithium property, about five kilometers northwest of its West Joe Dyke and Main Dyke areas, which recently reported drill results that included 1.86% lithium over 19.00 metres. . . .
Canada Silver Cobalt’s flagship silver-cobalt Castle mine and 78 sq km Castle property feature strong exploration upside for silver, cobalt, nickel, gold, and copper.
With underground access at the fully owned Castle mine, an exceptional high-grade silver discovery at Castle East, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravity concentrates, a processing facility (TTL Laboratories) in the town of Cobalt, and a proprietary hydrometallurgical process known as Re-2Ox, Canada Silver Cobalt is positioned to become a Canadian leader in the silver-cobalt space. |
