Yeah but you could actually do useful things with the power from an idling car.
Like cook the planet
I didn’t mean literally a car, I was going a long with their metaphor.
I saw a Veritasium video where they use a massive engine as part of a whole facility that tests buildings for earthquakes. That’s not something that’s going to be a problem. And in some applications, fossil fuels are what makes sense to use.
We should definitely use them in as few applications as possible, but yeah, if you wanna act like we should stop using them completely, in all applications, you can keep hallucinating.
I was mostly making a joke about how bad cars are for the environment, not really adding anything of substance to the conversation.
Snitch on yourself.
If you're doing something with the output of the engine then it's not idling, strictly speaking.
You could do useful things with the power used to generate Bitcoin too.
Generally, however, it is not easily converted to heroin
Use a computer to work -> get paid -> buy heroin
Can an idling car save people's wealth from hyperinflation?
