iMovie has to be one of the most counterintuitive pieces of software
No agenda social is a really good deterrent from me ever listening to the podcast
It is a financial warzone in my building's laundry room, and I'm losing bad

European Commission has just published the final version of #EUSustainableTaxonomy regulations regarding #nuclear and fossil gas.
For nuclear power, the activities in scope for the taxonomy are:
Research, development and deployment of advanced technologies (“Generation IV”) that minimise waste and improve safety standards
New nuclear plant projects with existing technologies for energy generation of electricity or heat (“Generation III+”)
Upgrades and modifications of existing
nuclear plants for lifetime extension purposes
In addition, there are strict technical requirements on safety and waste managements for these projects to qualify.
On fossil gas:
Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels
High-efficiency co-generation of heat/cool and power from fossil gaseous fuels
Production of heat/cool from fossil gaseous fuels in an efficient district heating and cooling system
Most importantly, fossil gas projects:
must meet specific emission thresholds, should replace an existing coal facility which cannot be replaced by #renewablenergy, should achieve certain targets in terms of emissions reductions, and fully switch to renewable or low-carbon gases by 2035
There was quite a lot of criticism from “green” activists about inclusion of nuclear (these were outright anti-scientific) and fossil gas, which were kind of justified in theory, but hypocrisy in practice, because in practice most countries that increase share of renewables also increase use of fossil fuels to compensate for intermittency.
In general, the taxonomy can be seen as a great win for climate and science-based policy in the first place.
@freemo that is so rad! Congrats on a super cool dive
@freemo did you get to see the arch?
@samuraikid maybe I don't get it. Are you surprised that news content is syndicated?
I'm on Woopie's side. USA just hates black celebrities that go off script

@thegibson 2 weeks ago I was reading about space junk, and articles were saying "if anyone develops a space junk cleanup craft, it will be seen as a military aggression" .... Well, right on cue there is this. Thanks for sharing!

A SpaceX rocket slamming into the Moon is a reminder to clean up our deep space junk
@Moon reminded me of this article from a while back. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-462091/How-children-lost-right-roam-generations.html
It's sad, for sure. I lived in a pretty rural area, and got to do some exploring as a kid but not more than a mile or so from home. (That radius grew once I could drive, and while I had a snowmobile for a few years)
I worry about my own kids being tethered to the house though. I plan to live in a more urban area. I guess only time will tell
People just wanna go to the store and buy a solution to climate change.
The speed at which my co workers are jumping on the bandwagon and being like "ya, fuck it, throw out your stove throw out your pans buy an induction stove to save the planet" is startling.
Article came out saying gas stoves in USA emit as much GHGs as 500k cars per year. (There are almost 300M on the road, but OK, every little bit counts I guess.) Same article said 76% of those emissions were from leaky fittings. Conclusion: throw out your gas stove. .... ? I'm lost.
In general, I think people need to think about garbage more carefully when we talk about sustainability.
