We have plenty of machines that capture renewable power. Sizeable percentages of the grid in fact...even in places like *Texas*.

We have vastly more renewable energy available right now than we could every use. We simply lack the infrastructure to capture and store it.

This is something at a planetary scale. It won’t be done via volunteers.

Costs of cleanup quickly dwarf the available resources and then neither gets done.

Energy inputs shouldn’t be a huge issue...we have plenty of potential green energy available, so the uphill part is just building out collection capacity.

Certainly better than plastic incineration for power generation which is what I thought you were suggesting :)

It’s quaint that ppl think DVD/Blu-ray players will still be made in 10 yrs.

Burning plastic (PET) chem equation...

The problem is simply the scale. It’s not feasible to actually remove the microplastics. You’d have to quite literally filter the entire ocean volume.

Pre-school maybe but middle/high school, those hunks of metal on ropes make pretty hefty dents in kids when swung by the other kids

eh, I’ll stash extras in the cars so something that basic/simple perhaps is reasonable.

Correct answer: Money

That’s a really long way to say

Appreciate the insight!

If you’re an exit node, absolutely. You shouldn’t run this out of your house, like ever. Sure you’ll *probably* be acquitted in court, but there’s a fair bit of inconvenience in the mean time as the feds seize ever computer and phone at your house...charge you with many things, etc.

perhaps the 3oW is what’s necessary to drive the 23W wireless.  There are losses involved.  No idea if it’s the 30% drop here though

I want to find out that when it does finally have a failure and crash...that someone programmed it to send a message that states simply

so speed one does he follow? does Germany need new signs now?

So, an infotainment screen problem weighs the same as a transmission going out in reliability rankings.

Totally not a bike guy but that riding position seems uncomfortable?
