@FreeGrass69 @skdh CO2 is where our oxygen comes from. If you succeed in squirreling away 4ppm/yr, our oxygen level will drop by 1% in 500 years. Plants do a better job of managing this.

@FreeGrass69 @skdh How wonderful... Sequester the source of our oxygen!

@skdh A relatively easy enthalpy calculation reveals the problem: 6eV of heat for a CH2 in a hydrocarbon chain vs. 2eV of energy in a Li atom. Most of the energy is in the hydrogen. The lithium simply can't be packed tight enough to match a fuel tank.

@JohnStossel @SteveForbesCEO @Forbes Money and wealth are often confused. Money is simply a medium of exchange. Wealth is an accounting of value that has not yet been consumed. Since consumption destroys it, new wealth requires positive action for its creation.

@MarioNawfal He's lost.

[Chris Hansen @crhans5]

@JohnStossel We love you, but like all of us, your hair is getting gray! Who will pick up the torch?

[Chris Hansen @crhans5]

@MarioNawfal OMG, no prayer in hell...

@Gerashchenko_en Hasn't she died of cancer yet?

@MarioNawfal Darwin...

@PokeyArcticCirc @StahlmannRolf Yes. At its core, energy loss is i²R, so the trick is to offer minimal resistance in the circuit. Only offer reactance, inductive or capacitive, which transfers energy. That's what make electronics fun.

@SocraticScribe As a kid I remember debating with my cousin whether urine broke into individual droplets from surface tension as we peed off the top of a tall haystack. My cousin aimed for the electric fence 20ft below. His immediate report of electrical conductivity destroyed my hypothesis.

@wartranslated They're getting desperate. Sounds like nuclear or collapse.

@J_Bloodworth @markcamilleri5 This is too complicated for my brain after beer.

@rcpvideo The fiat currency is not the problem. It's the people who manage it. They're too easily swayed by sentiment.

@HuffmanTime @DerekHuffmanRU She does look like her father. Hope he survives...

@Rasmussen_Poll For one teaspoon of chemical per square meter on earth...
~0.01 kg/m² * 510.1*10^12 m² = 5.1*10^12 kg = 5.1 billion metric tons of material. And... 5.1*10^9 metric tons / 80 metric tons (weight of a Boeing 767) = the total weight of ~64 million jet aircraft (Yikes!)

@HuffmanTime @DerekHuffmanRU Guarded and numb...

@Tendar Consider all the free attention Trump gets by making an intentional inconsequential error. How many times have you seen this movie before?

@GovNuclear And please explain to the ignorant how high temperature difference is the key to better thermodynamic efficiency.
