  • Yes, and no. It's not as easy. We do need to switch to renewable energy if we want to solve the crisis, but more importantly we need to stop using fossil fuel. Unfortunately, if you look at history, every time we discovered a new energy source like solar, hydro or wind, we never actually stopped using the older energy sources. For example, if you look at coal, we use more coal today than ever before in history, despite having found "better" options like petrol.

    So yeah, it cool that we have new ways to build solar panel, but unless we actually stop using fossil fuel, then it won't stop the crisis.

  • Does it include recycling cost? And more importantly, does it include the batteries to store that electricity? Batteries are not clean nor renewable. For example, just look at how cobalt is mined today and how it ruins ecosystem and populations.

  • Im really sorry to read that. It sounds like a giant mess that is affecting everyone. It must feel bad to do all those efforts and still feel like it's pointless.

    Have you considered getting therapy for yourself? I think it's would be the best thing to do in your situation.

  • We still haven't figured out how to make solar panels that produce more energy in their lifespan than what it take to build them.

    This seems like greenwashing... We won't solve the climate crisis by generating more energy if we don't stop using fossile fuel...

  • It doesn't work. I entered my infos for both Lemmy and Mastodon, but when I select either Redirect buttons in the menu, nothing happens. (no error messages or anything) Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

  • Even better is to talk about phone carriers, because people seem to know those better than emails these days. "Just because your phone is using Carrier A doesn't mean you can't call your friends on Carriers B and C"

  • What need to change? Real steps toward reducing greenhouse gas. Stop subsidizing cars (even electric ones!) and invest all that money into public transport. That would be a good first step. Then maybe I'll be proud to be Canadian.
