I can’t decide if this pun is intentional or not 😂😂😂
Lmfao you speak with authority despite it being complete bullshit.
“Heavy subsidies and huge upfront costs” applies far far more to oil and gas than to anything else. It’s only due to the massive amount of technological and economic inertia behind oil and gas that it is still around.
For building new power generation, utility-scale solar and onshore wind are now almost universally cheaper than new coal, oil, or gas-fired power plants. This threshold was passed in most of the world around the mid-2010s and has become undeniable in the 2020s.
Solar is now often cheaper than existing fossil fuel plants: In many regions, it’s now cheaper to build and operate a brand-new solar farm than to just keep running an existing coal or gas plant.
“The market” doesn’t operate like you get taught as a child. The vast majority of economic decisions are made by those in power to ensure they stay in power. It makes little sense for a business person to cannabalise their own industry. They have vertically integrated and are invested in the supply chain from start to finish, and there’s no benefit to them for things to change. It’s far easier to just impede competitors than change the course of behemoth corporations.

169·2 months agoThe dairy industry is significantly more damaging to NZ’s ecology than some feral cats. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be addressed, but there are measures already in place. It’s important to keep perspective and not be distracted by media.

2·2 months agoI have no problems with anything you say - as a vegetarian, Id also like to be able to distinguish between products and ensure Im getting plant based stuff.
However, you should keep in mind that this is not the actual intention of the meat industry pushing for this. Theyre just trying to fuck with the competition.
If anyone actually pursues this hit me up, Id be interested in helping

That’s… literally the point? We want socialism, which means we want to help pay your bills and support you to reach your goals. That’s what we want for everyone.

Technology@lemmy.world•Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start WithEnglish
10·3 months agoYou’d think so, but unfortunately not. Venture captial is completely illogical, designed around boom or bust “moonshot” ideas that are supposed to completely change everything. So this money isn’t driven by actual consumption, rather speculation. I can’t really speak to other forms of investment but I suspect it doesn’t get a whole lot better. The economy has become far too financialised with a fiat currency that is completely separate from actual intrinsic value. That’s why a watch can cost more than a family home, which isn’t true consumption - just this weird concept of “wealth”
What a bizzare thing to say. Plenty of women have hairy asses. And no, men wouldn’t teach this is they were the majority of teachers for the same reason women don’t - it’s not socially acceptable. The parents of the children would riot. Sex education is only taught because of how important it is, and it still makes a lot of parents uncomfortable.
