Climate chaos is not mostly driven by consumer plastics. Burning of fossil fuels to generate power is and has been the largest contributor followed by agriculture. Plastics don’t get recycled because.people don’t even have a fundamental understanding of how recycling works. That’s not the fault of the people, it’s their governments. You and I using a reusable bag and water bottle doesn’t make a dent in climate change. Until our energy shifts to nuclear we aren’t going to be in a better spot. Renewables can supplement but are far away from being a replacement.

Reduction of emissions can’t be the only thing we try. We have to do that and engineer ways to contain and scrub high pollution areas.

Even metals don’t get recycled like they should because they don’t get cleaned and dried.

We have to outengineer the problem at this point because we didn’t engineer a cleaner path fifty years ago when we had the opportunity.

Had we leaned more heavily into nuclear the world would be better off.

Pursuing a useable fusion solution should be the focus of the effort for humanity. That alone can provide us the energy needed to shutdown fossil fuels power plants.

But we decided years ago the nuclear is the boogey man because it is too difficult for the average citizen to comprehend.

You don’t even offer a viable solution. So yea, uninformed take. I’ll stand by it.

No they aren’t. They typically don’t even get recycled unless they’re both clean and dry which most people don’t do.

This is such an uninformed take. Plastics are literally everywhere in modern life. Not just the store bags or straws and lids, but objects in the home like appliances, buckles on backpacks, medical devices, items we launch into space. It’s not been shown to meaningfully decrease life expectancy and we may find ways to remove it from our bodies. Cold turkey and you essentially have no infrastructure to replace what is made with plastics.

Pretty sure plastics save more.lives than they destroy. Modern medicine isn’t nearly as effective without them.

He’s not even a top physicist, just well known.

Same goes for large container ships. It won’t make sense to use batteries unless there are significant breakthroughs in capacity technology.

This is not accurate information. VPN usage is not banned.

Those are cells not packs. A cell based pack uses cells in a module that then are combined to create a pack. Standardizing is not as easy as people make it out to be.

Not all EVs use the same pack type and there are advantages and disadvantages to the different types that will continue to change as we progress the technology. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to have universal batteries as it would also limit the designs of the car if it were legislated.

I like mastadon too. It also has a lot of Twitter accounts that copy over so for some of the sports teams I follow I just follow a copy on mastadon.

Yea I feel like I’d lose features if I tried to do a different firmware on my Amplifi alien

Because people prefer Spotify’s interface and algorithms.
