Clean Coal!

It would be fun to see 98.2 % of Californians with electric cars, and not enough power generating sources.

Today was one of my days off other than suffering through the Zoom meeting. I SO wish I could record them and show others what an epic waste of time these are. Best I can figure is that someone at home base needs to justify their existence and fill in a check box on some form somewhere.

I'm encouraged to attend at least one of the group meetings per week if I'm available. I straddle two groups so I have a pick of a sucky meeting #1 on Mondays or a sucky meeting #2 on Thursdays. I blew them off for two weeks in a row so I logged in today to simulate my support.

Today, one of my people got a promotion to another area. Ask my boss about the process to recruit a replacement.

Said... we have to get approval for an add to staff.
But boss, we aren’t adding to staff.
Well, you want to hire someone, that is an add to staff.
No boss. A person left. There is now a hole, we are filling a hole, not building staff.

He’s going to ask his boss about a potential add to staff. ](*,)

The only reason we are still in business is because our competition is just as fvcked up as we are. 😰

Actually switching our transportation to green tech only takes care of about 16% of CO2 emissions. We produce about 51 billion tons of CO2 equivalent each year. The bigger problems are manufacturing 31% , current energy emissions 27% and growing food and animals 19%.

Every problem we face in going green is huge. If you believe the science the cost of not going green are already here and we haven't seen anything yet.

Without a whole bunch of tech breakthroughs it is looking more and more that we are going to need geoengineering of some sort.
