How many years would it take to mine enough lithium to make enough batteries to replace all of the internal combustion engines in the world?

...says the guy using non-green energy to be all greener-than-thou on the internet.

I'm using green energy. The fact that you aren't able to say the same just means you are part of the problem.

But I'm sure that's not uncommon for you.

That's good. It's nice to know your level.



Given your limited scientific comments (you usually snag one point and then slavishly stick to it unable to speak around it or expand on it) I can only assume what you were likely doing in your career.

Also it is quite clear you have no background in R&D or development. Like I said: you did what you were told. Not much more.

Good for you.

I'm really glad you aren't making this about me.

You'd be wrong. I realize nuclear is one of the few scalable technologies we have that would be of value in dealing with climate change.

I'm surprised, and pleased. You don't share the same view with the vast majority of environmentalists, who see nuclear power as Satan's Toe Jam.

Your key point:

It's wishful thinking. It's not a sufficient justification to cripple civilization.

LOL.

Unlike you I've actually worked on alternative transportation fuels. I get tired of know-nothing sitting in the cheap seats talking like they have a say in anything.

 

[ding]

It's easy to be superior to folks like you.

Textbook dunning effect.

Hypocrite. Can't take it? LOL.

Touch a nerve, technician?

 

[ding]

Stop sounding like a little girl.

See what I mean?

Textbook dunning effect.

It's Dunning-Kruger.

(The irony is rich here)

 

[daveman]

I wasn't talking to you. Whoever you are.



It's easy to be superior to folks like you.

Thus proving I was 100% correct in my assessment.

And you're too dumb to see it.

What's the manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure of your stuffed shirt, Pompous Boi?

 

[ding]

Hypocrite. Can't take it? LOL.

Touch a nerve, technician?

I think you should keep talking about me. Let me let some more line out for you.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

Stop sounding like a little girl.

Meanwhile, I'll have been married to the love of my life 31 years in a month.

Looky there -- something else you got wrong.

Sure, incel. Sure. Sure.

Tell me all about her vagina so everyone knows how MANLY you are.

LOL.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure there's SOMETHING you do well. Janitorial work? Barrista?

 

[ding]

I know what it's called. You just made a textbook example of it. Hilarious.

Hmmmm, maybe I'm the one in the boat this time, eh?

LOL

I have never questioned ding's math. You would have to be able to read to understand that.

My point is that his math is effectively meaningless because the goal is NOT to replace every gasoline car in the next year. And I have experience in R&D so I know that technology advances.

If you've never invented anything you wouldn't understand. Technology is a gift OTHERS give to you because you are unable to do anything like that.

What did you invent, a tube and helmet that lets you sniff your own farts?

Yeah, normal people aren't very impressed by that.

I'm curious what your experience in R&D is. Getting the smart people coffee?

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

I know what it's called. You just made a textbook example of it. Hilarious.

Is that why you didn't refer to it properly?

LOL.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

You wouldn't understand it if I tried to explain it to you.

You wouldn't understand it if I tried to explain it to you.

 

[ding]

I have never questioned @ding's math. You would have to be able to read to understand that.

To be fair it did take you awhile to reconcile the concept of needing enough batteries to replace one day's worth of energy from gasoline and diesel.

 

[daveman]

Box of hammers. You can't really think I said anything like that, can you??? Wow.

Yeah, you pretty much did.

Trust me I know more about all this stuff than you do.

Uh huh. Anyone can say anything on the internet.

I do care. Which is why I went to the effort to install solar on my home. I can only control myself. You, however, just sit and kvetch. You don't believe in anything. So who cares what you think?

There are lots of things I believe in. You're just angry because you don't get a say in my beliefs.

Very original of you!

Trust me. I know more about pompous internet idiots than you do, despite your up-close and personal experience.

 

[ding]

Is that why you didn't refer to it properly?

LOL.

I use dunning for short. It get's the point across. Don't think this is the first time I've had this exact same conversation with silly nitpickers. The point is you statement was a textbook example of the DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT.
