These things exist, but are quite uncommon compared with poorly vented stoves, or people who have a vent for their stove but don't run the fan at the necessary high power

There is no paywall. Just scroll down

The common kitchen appliance plays an outsized role in exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a toxic air pollutant.

The problem with that approach is that insurance works when one member of the group loses a house to fire. It doesn't work when the whole community burns down.

What you can do is have local government conduct risk reduction, which means like things like requiring building improvements, zone zero, and fuel reduction in surrounding areas.

Youre going to have to look at a spec sheet, but the stoves with a built-in battery tend to designed to draw a constant low amperage as they charge, and then be able to cook about three meals from the battery. Very different from stoves without a battery.

There are a few models of induction stove which include a large battery to run them by charging from 120v. Stoves are also kind of unique in that they have far less effective venting of exhaust than other appliances, so the health risk from them is much larger.

If youre able to get enough sunlight to charge the stove, its worth thinking about.

The problem with being at the edge of town is that your whole community needs to be resistant to embers blowing in. That requires both a ton of specific mods to older structures, as well as measures like clearing zone zero.

Yes, and proprietary, but without details about what or why.

The thing about nuclear which drove us to large plants in the first place is that bigger reactors have significant economies of scale. Even with big reactors, nuclear has been very expensive to build, and hasn't really come down in cost in a long time, and takes a very long time to actually build.

By contrast, wind, solar, and storage are cheap and can be deployed rapidly in small increments with much more site flexibility.

So what's going on is a false promise of future nuclear being used to prevent the deployment of renewables now.

In the US, yes. Other countries do installers competing against each other over install price, which ends up dropping cost to about 1/4 of what it is in the US.

Yeah, the chrome console shows one error about not being able usen an icon from the manifest.

Same issue in other instances too though, not just lemmy.world

Is it just me, or when you specify a thumbnail URL on a link post, is it not displayed by other lemmy instances?

For example, compare https://lemmy.world/c/climate@slrpnk.net?dataType=Post&sort=New

With https://slrpnk.net/c/climate?dataType=Post&sort=New

And I see thar the post with the NYT article about the EPA removing human-induced climate forcing from their website doesn't have a thumbnail on lemmy.world but does on slrpnk.net

Basically they have a financing deal for the rooftop solar that's designed to have a lower monthly payment than the utility bill it displaces

A bunch of quacks profit because it creates an opening for them to provide treatments that are not evidence based, so you see chiropractors and "christian" donor-advised funds kicking in money

Its been a longstanding issue. Lots of people care, but its not at the top of their priority list.

Rich idiots pay to promote it. Kennedy got paid half a million a year for that

I don't expect any kind of physical object to be free as in beer...but they definitely have a lot of room for technical improvement to make batteries cheaper

The Los Angeles Times ran a map of just the ones in California. Most browsers will let you access it if you edit this URL to put a after the com and before the

Congress can remove a justice with a majority vote in the house and a 2/3 supermajority in the Senate. This means you can't actually remove a judge unless they lose support from within their own party, and the Republicans have shown that they wont go along with removal no matter what.

This means that in practice, the path forward is to add additional judges, so that the Republicans are a minority, and unable to do any damage.

The brain worms are doing much better

Not anymore — there is no way they'd have gone along with this if it was a Democrat swapping out officials to his every whim
