Phineaz

Ein recht wichtiges Zeugnis von mir wurde mal als Einschreiben (nicht Einwurf!) in den Briefkasten gequetscht - bei strömendem Regen

I mainly agree, but it could be substituted. Various biomolecules are being investigated as a replacement substrate for established (petro)chemical processes. Part of the issue is, that you need to defunctionalise the chemicals which is the opposite of what petrochemistry currently does (which is adding functional groups as needed, not removing them).

This research, however, is stifled by the cheap Price of oil. I know an anecdote of Nivea pulling their funding into a similar project because the price ber barrel recently fell. The project was supposed to last around 5 years.

Why would you pick a submarine for civil purposes? Just use a "normal" freighter and "slap" nuclear power on it.

(Ignoring the glaring issues from nuclear power on land that would be exacerbated at sea)

Certainly, they're the shit, but the energy capacity you mentioned is a huge issue. As I said in my other comment it should/could/has to be done, but it's anything but simple.

Still leagues ahead of biomass. Don't get me wrong, this is an issue that can be solved. Biomass can be converted to biogas which can be purified to produce methane (or you just burn biogas directly) which then in turn can be used for heat (or other purposes) - the problem here is the sheer amount of energy this requires. Yes, significant portions of the steel industry can be "decarbonised" (or at least I think so) but the effort is immense. Doable, necessary, but it will be a huge piece of work.

Hm, das Problem geht - soweit ich den Artikel verstehe - ein bisschen tiefer als eine Kollektivstrafe. Die "bestraften" wurden der Gruppe aufgrund ihres aussehens zugeordnet. Wäre ein orthodoxer Jude (oder jemand, der so aussieht) mit im Flugzeug gewesen und hätte nichts zu tun gehabt damit, er wäre trotzdem aufgehalten worden.

Soweit die Interpretation aus dem Artikel, uns fehlen hier freilich Informationen.

See, I will agree with you, though not because of your reasoning (which very well might be spotless), but because of the phrase "ass-slapping orgy".

This headline could use some Mandy Rice-Davies.

Eh, purity is a thing. Biomass is the opposite of what you want there, but it could be doable. I do wager, however, that the largest "climate cost" of steel comes from the repeated melting of the steel.

*Ah, here we go shit again

I know of at least two people who drink coffee, tea and red wine with a straw.

I'm guessing it didn't go too well?
