More like, “we just got paid to not do anything about it”. If they wanted those stones cleared they would have brought a fucking excavator, got shit done, and fined the people responsible over $10,000 for the cost of moving them.
It is April 10th, and they say “remove the stones by 28 March or face civil or criminal prosecution”. I didn’t read anything about real repercussions, did you?
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is doubling its budget for hydrogen-related initiatives from fiscal 2024, seeing them as key to combating climate change. While previously supporting fuel cell vehicle (FCV) purchases and the establishment of hydrogen fueling stations, the focus is shifting to promote the adoption of hydrogen...
Hydrogen fuel cells are ineffective if the energy used to produce them are from fossil fuels. Better to just have battery powered vehicles which get their electricity from hydrogen power plants.
That's true, except further more hydrogen fuel cells are unnecessary especially as battery technology gets better. Hydrogen power plants providing electricity to battery electric vehicles is way more logical. There is no need to waste energy storing hydrogen if we can just use raw energy to charge batteries to power vehicles. Hydrogen is also very difficult to store, and if not stored properly can be very dangerous. The biggest hurdle for hydrogen vehicles has mainly been the storage of hydrogen.
I literally wrote "Hydrogen power plants providing electricity to battery electric vehicles is way more logical." and "if not stored properly can be very dangerous". That isn't anti-hydrogen propaganda, hydrogen vehicles are more expensive, and it would be better to just have an efficient hydrogen power plant provide electricity to battery powered vehicles.
You have to factor in the logistics and infrastructure. How much will all the infrastructure cost to install throughout the country? All the logistics to move the hydrogen around? Why can't I buy a hydrogen car for less than $60k? Where would I fuel it?
It got this way because younger people are willing to go into debt to get an education, and schools take advantage of that expected level of debt. I highly recommend looking up certificates that are available. One of the best ways to change this is for people to switch to alternatives.

If Biden loses to Trump, this will probably be one of the reasons why. Then, after Trump wins without the popular vote, he’ll just continue doing the same shit Biden did in this regard. Great system.
…Americans deserve Trump because he actually represents them.
The only way Trump actually wins is without the popular vote. I also believe the US deserves Trump, but for different reasons. Mainly because I think the system is completely fucked knowing that a past president who was impeached twice can win again with out the popular vote.

Good, this will get people to start moving away from being under water and from wildfire zones. This is the beginning of the necessary movement, if it has to begin this way, then so be it.
Before I left I edited all of my comments to say “fuck u/spez”. Very relieving to get the fuck out of there. I fucking despise the idea of working to make money for the rich, never will. If they ever create an economy that forces me to work, the only labor I will do is to make sure they never feel comfortable again.
If the argument is that marijuana is bad for health and it should be illegal, then with the same logic, alcohol should be illegal because it's also bad for health.
You know what could also limit global heating? If the fucking wealthy stopped flying in their private jets and stopped cruising in their yachts and stopped buying their 3rd house. Focus on the solutions. Subsidize green energy, tax the oil companies, ban private jets, etc. You know, things that would have an actual impact.
If he actually wanted to change anything he’d be rallying against 2 senators per state. Instead he did some stupid bullshit that won’t change anyone’s mind at all.
The truth? It stems from fear based mentality and personal insecurity. If you spend enough time evaluating the conservative mindset you come to realize it is grounded in fear and a disdain for oneself. They don’t want more cyclists because they think it’s an affront to them personally, as if they would need to start cycling to fit in.
