Forestessential | 2 years ago | on: For the first time, renewable energy generation beat out coal in the US
and for how it compares to coal, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coal-fired_power_stati...
you have like 60-65% coal fired in the States.
40% of the corn produced in US is used for ethanol which is a energy intensive process which uses fossil fuels.

Ozone will destroy life it contacts and also leaves a spotless palate for the nose. this is a hospital problem. Im reading about issues in hospitals. In the outside world it is not a sterile dish like there, this allegedly deadly mold would be less apt to kill

Evaporative technologies are the other method to accomplish the same thing and if incorporated into a facility/structure that can use evaporative cooling because the draft of air over the water will need to be powered.
Underground sewer systems can be designed to hold more life, pass more water over more life, just like premise behind slow sand filtration and this will effectively treat the water as it flows. This is a first line treatment IMO. using sewer water to cool industrial facilities where the steam can be sequestered should be utilized too. Facilities that incinerate trash at high temperature with palladium catalysts can use sewer water to produce power.
how about builders find a way to build a impermeable membrane downward around the plot line of a property slowing ground water movement, then use septic systems with water treatment facility apparatuses in the home. I could burn my own trash, biodigest my own sewage and spectrogrpahicaly test it too for cheap.
Why on earth are people not doing this?!

oldies spoke of many issues, spoke on having lastinglove whereas now its far more about flings. Eventually people either will resort to changing their life to compat with the crappy music or turn the lyrics off.

IT-sort of people on the internet: "Security is very important. We dont want to get hacked"
Also IT-sort of poeple on the internet: "Why are you paranoid of a tech company is collecting your data? You really think they are gonna hack you?"
Also others in the field: We need Intrusion Prevention Software, IDS, pfSence firewall, etc... So we can be safe from hackers while our machines host extra automated services we dont need, among reasons.
But status is not reported acuratly but whichever metric it is of consideration of.
and the status we think is appraised high might be a status that has actually a low apprasial.. Like being a porn star or a hollywood actor unlike Robin Williams. Or being a philisophical considerer- it might not be seen as of a high status but yet this underpins how we meet our death very much.
downvote for all the reasons
