  • Talk about misinformation: Wired purposefully didn’t cite actual statement which was: “The biggest success after that terrible era in our history was to label Adolf Hitler as right and conservative. He was exactly the opposite. He wasn’t a conservative. He wasn’t a libertarian. He was a communist socialist guy,”

    With the context it reads more like communist-like person, not literal communist.

    But the context be damned, we hate Elon and Wired confirms our bias so we eat misinformation like it’s a gospel written by God himself




  • Renewables are an invisible revolution that everyone seems to be ignoring. I don’t know why, but if you look at the numbers, solar alone grows at staggering rate of ~20-25% EACH YEAR. This is a massive, exponential growth that won’t slow down until some limiting factor kicks in (either resource availability or price of electricity falls down)

    Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_photovoltaics

    This is GLOBAL. This has nothing to do with ecology, I’ve run some rough estimations few years ago - solar is CHEAPER than fossil even in temperate climate. Similar story with the wind power - well managed renewable power plants print money, it’s a good business.

    That said, this is about electricity production, fossil fuels are still unmached for transportation and this isn’t going to change any time soon
