What's the total energy use of every computer on the planet?

And imagine the trees we destroy as those computers spit out paper copies.

Yup...a real fighter.

First off 60% of Texas heating is electric resistance a very small percentage of heat pumps. Only 40% is gas or oil heated. This is down to code. Apartments and most multi family dwellings by code are electric only gas is considered a fire hazard and the cheapest to install which nearly every landlord does is resistance they have no incentive to put in more expensive heat pumps to save tenets energy costs. I have two rent homes both are all electric and both are resistance heat for both water and stoves too.

Second not all heat pumps have resistance back ups. I have a dual zone heat pump that’s ground sourced with a COP of 6 that’s 100% solar powered even in winter I could be totally off grid my panels are a 15kw system but I sell power to the grid all.day nearly every day even in January the panels make more per day in the sun than I can use. Ground source heat pumps have no need for back up the ground is never colder than 55 degrees this far south. Modern CO2 cycle heat pumps by Mitsubishi just to name one can be air sourced down to minus 20F with a COP still above 2 at that temp. R600a heat pumps work down to 0F and are cheaper than CO2 air sourced.

Just finished cooking a big pot of deer sausage gravy for my coffee drinking buddies’ breakfast this morning. Goes real good on biscuits. Or grits. YUM!

This is suicidal. This is how the we kill ourself. The best and the brightest are truly convinced that our existence is the problem. I wish you couldn’t make this shit up but the bastard did...FM If anyone knows him, and I know a couple of people who I will reach out to who might. Please Please Please grab this sick bastard by the throat and don’t quit shaking him until he no longer hates himself or us.

Now that he’s wanted in Nigeria and India, he’ll fly less. I watched his plane leave the country numerous times. He uses little dark children as lab rats for his vaccines.
What a hero!

Whatever he says, do the opposite. Eugenicist Gates thinks that 90% of the population of earth are expendable.

Our carbon footprint is has more to do with the unseen than the seen... When Bill Gates buys a gold necklace for his wife he's using energy to mine the gold, to transport it, to pay the jeweler and his staff money - money they will use to fill the tanks of their cars and hire people for their needs etc etc etc...

EVERYTHING HAS AN ENERGY COST AND SIGNATURE.

A person's energy signature is closely correlated with the amount of money they spend every year. Bill Gates is an energy glutton... and he's delusional if he thinks driving a smaller car or eating fake meat offsets his spending.

Bill Gates is like a man who continually beats his wife, but donates money to a battered women’s shelter to absolve his sins - all while writing books telling other people how to be a good husband.

He’d save the environment more if he would go ahead and die.

But he’s not doing it now! Yet he says he believes in man made global warming. He should be laughed out of the public arena.

“I am driving electric cars. I have solar panels at my house. I eat synthetic meat (some of the time!). I buy green aviation fuel. I pay for direct air capture by Climeworks. I help finance electric heat pumps in low cost housing to replace natural gas.”

Well, well, Satan’s favorite child is doing his part to tear up Western Civilization.

May he die in a horrible fire very soon before he meets his master in the Afterlife.

I, I, I.

Doesn’t air capture technology interfere with our natural carbon cycle?

By using caviar helper, and flying only 5 million miles a year (instead of his usual 10 million), he hopes to someday reduce his personal carbon footprint to less than that of the nation of Luxembourg.

Gates needs to exist entirely on wind and solar. Nothing in his orbit should be derived from fossil fuels.

In fact, eliminate power generated by impounded water on naturally flowing rivers. .... What a self-righteous gasbag.
