Nope. It would realize how much more efficient it would be to simulate 10billions humans instead of actually having 10billions human. So it would wipeout humanity from earth, start building huge huge data center and simulate a whole… Wait a minute…
More something like 50% nuclear, 40% renewable, but we also sell lot of nuclear electricity to Germany. Hydraulic is very well used. We have hydrolic power plant everywhere it’s possible. Not many people know this. “Hell ya, why don’t we build more hydrolic plant ?!” Well, because we already did 😅
Small word about OpenGL, as it seems confusing for many peoples:
OpenGL is a spec written by Kronos group. There is no such thing as OpenGL library, or OpenGL source code. You cannot “download” OpenGL. OpenGL is really just a buch of .txt files explaining how functions should be named and what they should do. This spec define an API.
Then, this API can be implemented by anyone, by writing code and putting it in a library.
GPU drivers implement this API. That means that Nvidia, AMD and Intel have their own implementation.
To have access to this API from your program, you have to “getProcAdress” all function you want to use from GPU driver’s DLL. As this is quite painfull, libs exist, like glew, that do it for you. These libs are really just a long list of getProcAdress for all entry points.
That’s also why you cannot “static link” with OpenGL. As function can only be retrieved at runtime.
Another interesting things is MESA. It’s a CPU implementation of OpenGL spec. So MESA is a lib, with source code and so on. You can download it, link against it, etc… This is very useful when you want to do 3D without GPU (yes, this happen, especially in medical domain).
Nah, we put things on fire only when some random dealer get shot by a cop.
France has ban drilling new Wells on its territory. For now, despite oil lobbying, ban is still applied :) The problem with geothermy is more a social and legal problem. No one care about drilling in the middle of north sea. But geothermic should be drill close to population. And suddenly, everyone becomes afraid of earthquake, and you need dozens of authorizations.
SLB had acquired Celsius Energy, a company that deploy low depth geothermal solution. They are also partner with Genvia to developpe hydrogen. And have also plans for offshore wind turbines. Oil company all have plan to transition to new energy. Then know oil is not a long terme business. The problem is doing the transition while making money. If you dont make money, you die. And if you die, you cannot do transition. Unfortunately, oil still generate shitload of money…
Brave.
Because I installed it when it was pre-alpha version. Ended up to an ugly window with just an addresse bar. I though “this shit will never worked, yet another utopistic project, too bad…”
Then, came back 2 years later, gave him a 2nd chance and “OMG ! They fucking did it !”. So I keep it as a redemption for not having believed in the project at first.
Come to France, we have cheeze, and wine, and bread 🥖🍾🥐🧀
You doesn’t seems to be the kind of person with whom can have constructive argument. I gave you facts and number. Sorry I cannot take my time machine and go back 200 years back telling Great Britain to stop burning coal.
Also, my company has as objective to becomes neutral by 2030 and 20% carbon negative by 2050. Locally, we have decreased our electricity consumption by 20% since 2022 and put in place mobility actions to push people taking bike or bus. Nearly half of employees use soft transport (public, bikes, onewheel, etc…)
We cannot rewrite the past or snap finger to change habits of 8billions peoples.
We will be juge on our current actions and futur results. As of today, we are trying something which we hope is going to the right direction. But its always easier to criticize and not doing anything.
Global Co2 production of human activities is about 35Gt per year (https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions). Forests absorb around 7.5Gt per year (https://www.wri.org/insights/forests-absorb-twice-much-carbon-they-emit-each-year). Let say we double the total amount of forest in the whole planet, and we cut Co2 production by half. We are very roughly 15Gt produce VS 15Gt absorb. Is the problem solved ? Nope.
First, because these forests has to stay in place, or used as building material but cannot be burn to for heating. So we still have to plant extra forest for heating. Second, we still have all the Co2 we have put in atmosphere since a century. So the goal is not to be equilibrium, but to be net negative.
Worldwide CCS capacity has been estimated between 8,000 and 55,000 gigatonnes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_capture_and_storage). And, yes, it is already carbon negative, and already in production in several countries with currently a net result of ~50Mt Co2 per year (https://www.statista.com/statistics/726634/large-scale-carbon-capture-and-storage-projects-worldwide-capacity/)
There is not a unique solution “Plant Trees and go electric” to global warming. There are lots of solutions, with pros and cons. CCS is just a small part of the equation. Use renewable energy, use storage (litthium batteries, Hydrogen, …), Nuclear, change habit to consume less, plant trees and develop carbon capture solution.
The problem won’t be solved with a unique solution, but by finding the good balance between all the possibilities. And those who know it won’t work are please to let those who doesn’t know try.
Geological reservoirs are thousands metter depth and several dozen of km wide. Pressure is a few MPa, and temperature hundreds of °C. Condition are so extrem that filling them with gaz barely change anything. Especially if they were already filled with gaz dozen years ago. Furthemore, they are not big vacum like most people imagine. It’s more like giant spongy rock, like sand. It’s not a baloon you inflate or deflate.
CCS facilities are not in competition with forest. It’s a complementatry solution. If you manage to capture carbon next to poluting factories, you don’t spread Co2 on the atmosphere, waiting it to be captured by a forest the other side of the globe. And they can be powered by solar panels.
What do you mean ?
Agree, carbon capture process is quite efficient now. I’m working on (pretty big) company doing Carbon Capture and Sequestration. The idea is to use empty oil&gaz reservoir to inject back carbon where it comes from. So there are several advantage:
“Stop emitting. They will hear you”

Adding to this that, between Boomer and Gen Z, there is a generation that equally hate both of them 😂
In US, I think it was the initial intent of 2nd amendment. Arm the population not to resist an enemy or an invasion, but to resist its own government if it endanger a free state.
1984 is not about mass surveillance. It’s about lowering the langage and culture so that you don’t even have word to criticize the system.
Thank you !
Provider providing oil to consumer: It’s the fault of the providers !
Provider providing black slaves to white consummers: It’s the fault of consumers !
What an hypocrisy…
