Why is Western Civilization Self-Sabotaging the Primary Energy Sources that Provide 80% of the Fuel for America's Life-Blood of Reliable Electricity with the War on Carbon?

Winter is very close. I thought a discussion of the realities of providing 100 Quadrillion BTUs of Primary Energy, including coal, would be timely. A long read with many references to provide ample background to support the importance of coal fuel

Natural Gas, Petroleum and Coal. Coal is much more important than most Americans would think, thanks to the Popular, but wrong Demonization of carbon and especially, coal These three sources of primary energy provide over 80% of the energy America (and every other Developed country) uses to power our lives. Including electricity generation, transportation, industrial production, heating,…

Unlocking Efficiency and Comfort: A Guide to Maximize Your Windows and Reduce Energy Bills

Maximizing Your Windows for Efficiency and Comfort

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, about 30% of your home's heating and cooling energy is lost through your windows. Upgrading your windows can significantly improve efficiency, keeping you comfortable year-round while reducing energy bills.

For Windows in Decent Condition:

If your windows are in good condition, there are things you can do to improve efficiency while saving money on energy costs – rather than having to replace the windows. First off, check for leaks. You’ll want to caulk and weatherstrip areas as needed. When looking at weatherstripping, consider the window's location and choose an appropriate option for the weather, temperature changes, and general use associated with its location. It will be important to consider if the panes slide up and down, sideways, or outward, as you’ll want the weatherstripping to seal well when the door or window is closed; however, it will also need to open freely.

Energy-Efficient Windows:

Investing in energy-efficient windows is a smart choice, especially if you plan on staying in your home for a decade or more. These windows incorporate advanced materials and features like multiple glass panes, window spacers, gas fills, and insulated frames to create a thermal barrier. They harness solar energy to heat the house or prevent excessive heat buildup. Consider the following tips from Energy.Gov when exploring energy-efficient windows: - Look for the ENERGY STAR and NFRC labels. - Opt for gas-filled windows with low-e coatings in colder climates to minimize heat loss. In warmer climates, select coatings that reduce heat gain. - Choose a low U-factor for better ther­mal resistance in colder climates; the U-factor is the rate at which a window conducts non-solar heat flow. - Look for a low solar heat gain coef­ficient (SHGC). SHGC is a measure of solar radiation admitted through a window. Low SHGCs reduce heat gain in warm climates. - Choose windows with both low U-factors and low SHGCs to maximize energy savings in temperate climates with both cold and hot seasons. - Look for whole-unit U-factors and SHGCs, rather than center-of-glass U-factors and SHGCs. Whole-unit numbers more accurately reflect the energy performance of the entire product.

heck

is sleepy time?

[endervoide]

even more screenshots from the Beyblade Metal Manga I quite enjoyed, this time with my thoughts! Also, I should clarify that the translation I'm reading is so wonky and probably not correct, but I get a general idea of what's going on, and also it's so funny to me. it adds to the charm!

i am such a huge fan of these three being besties it it just so funny to me. I've only ever watched the anime, and I'm in love with this with random guy who is still wearing a bey necklace being friends with the Bladers Spirit[tm] and a small child haha.

also also I feel like the manga is really good for Kyogin fans (I myself am a multishipper, but I do love me some Kyogin. Just the way Gingka blushes? the shared special move? God they're so sweet I want nothing but the best for my boys!

Yu is so silly! I love him so much, truly he's like, "yeah I have the power of an evil god but we stay silly lmao" and I just, so far he has no real characterization, but maybe after Gingka beats Ryuga(Which I haven't read past yet, but still!!)

Omg what the hell?? god I wish he was this funny in the show. also, why can't dogs beyblade? Hokuto was perfectly able to beyblade earlier in the series (in fact, he uses a Libra bey!) but whatever. the suddenly serious dog face is gold.

Also, uh, Phoenix? that's what you want to look like? the fuck? I do really like The Pheonix disguise in the show, but oh well. Also, like, Kentas bey gets stepped on and shattered, then phoenix comes in and like, "Believe in your bey kid" and then Kenta gets Flame Sagittario? Okay and this is such a weird aspect of the manga so far, the constant Absolute Destruction of every bey and then the rebirth/evolution of the next MetalWheel/EnergyRing version? It's really wild to happen, in my mind. And like, Benkei gets a new bey off screen (off page?) so why does Kenta (And Ryo, ig) just believe in themselves really really hard and get super cool new Beys? the hell?

Like, huh? are you going to tell me Fireblaze is just as powerful/some sort of Foil to L-Drago? What about Pegasus? Pegasus is supposed to keep the Dragon bey sealed, ig, but Fireblaze is sealed alongside L-Drago?

also, Benkei in the manga is wild, because he shows up the furst few chapters, gets shaved, dissappears, comes back and is friends with kyoya (which makes more sense since Kyoya is a bit friendlier in this verse) and then he gets his shit absolutely rocked by fighting Ryuga, which of course doesn't happen in the Anime. When Tetsuya taunts Kyoya about Benkei's hospitalization (because the victims of Ryuga still get hospitalized, but not in a weird soulless coma) Kyoya is ready to use his fists. let Kyoya beat the shit outta a guy, as a treat!

absolute gem, I love him. Ryutaro isn't in the manga for that long, but him and his janky as hell translation is perfect to me!

I've never liked Tobias, but he and Sora fight Reiji and Ryuga, and Reiji just shreds storm Capricorn? also, he's not all slimy and freaky as shit in the manga like he is in the shoe. Also, Gingka just, destroys Poisen serpent in his battle against Reiji. Gingka launches his bey and then walks away. Icon.

Excerpt from this story from the Associated Press (AP):

New Jersey hit the pause button Wednesday on an offshore wind energy project that is having a hard time finding someone to manufacture blades for its turbines.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities granted Leading Light Wind a pause on its project through Dec. 20 while its developers seek a source for the crucial components.

The project, from Chicago-based Invenergy and New York-based energyRE, would be built 40 miles (65 kilometers) off Long Beach Island and would consist of up to 100 turbines, enough to power 1 million homes.

Leading Light was one of two projects that the state utilities board chose in January. But just three weeks after that approval, one of three major turbine manufacturers, GE Vernova, said it would not announce the kind of turbine Invenergy planned to use in the Leading Light Project, according to the filing with the utilities board.

A turbine made by manufacturer Vestas was deemed unsuitable for the project, and the lone remaining manufacturer, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, told Invenergy in June that it was substantially increasing the cost of its turbine offering, Invenergy said.

That left the project without a turbine supplier.

“The stay enables continued discussions with the BPU and supply chain partners regarding the industry-wide market shifts,” Invenergy said in a statement. “We will continue to advance project development activities during this time.”

Christine Guhl-Sadovy, president of the utilities board, said the delay will help the project move forward.

“We are committed in New Jersey to our offshore wind goals,” she said. “This action will allow Invenergy to find a suitable wind turbine supplier. We look forward to delivering on the project that will help grow our clean energy workforce and contribute to clean energy generation for the state.”

The delay was the latest setback for offshore wind in New Jersey. The industry is advancing in fits and starts along the U.S. East Coast.

For the munday ask thing!! 😄

on what platform did you start RPing? ; what do you think about AUs? ; what do you think about OCs? ; what was your first muse?

- @viciouslyfilthy

1) Facebook. I still rp on that but much less because that place is as toxic as cyanide

2)I love writing AUs

3) OCs are amazing and so are people who make them
