Maybe you can pull it off WW2 style by adding a couple % of aniline to unleaded gasoline

onsite solvent recycling is a thing, what can’t be recycled can be burned for energy. chlorinated solvents require extra energy input because they’re less flammable, and extra corrosion resistance is required in equipment used for that

DCM is also about the only good solvent left that is also resistant to lewis acids. I think that some people were pushing for benzotrifluoride as a replacement, but it just straight up doesn’t work as well where i tried it

Tbf before “do it in DCM” was “do it in CCL4” or “do it in benzene”, DCM just works without nuking operator’s liver

Lots of these new green solvents are also annoyingly polar so perhaps they can be used as replacements of other polar solvents but not anything else. I’m not using cyrene, fuck that

TFA is used because it works and is shelf-stable. Replacements like HCl in ether or ethyl acetate are bitch to make and when these can be bought, they have to be refrigerated all the way. Straight up not worth the effort on small scale

careful, they might like it

humans start breathing only when 3 years old, don’t you know?

Saudis parked fuckload of money in ai startups

This will continue as long as there are CCGTs used as baseload, then it will drop as CCGTs (and biomass + waste burners) will cover the gaps

methane cracker? that’s a very unusual unit that outputs hydrogen and carbon. i could find info about opening of ethane cracker in 2025, but that’s for plastics, next to shutdown of another similar unit

Lithium-iron is about 2x more expensive, there might be different availability and energy use during manufacture is probably higher

Lead-acid batteries work if you don’t care about weight and lithium-iron phosphate if you do

You can’t critihype it when you call it phage madlibs from the beginning

waaaaay less impressive when you take a look inside

Once Evo got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-174 and its kin, the researchers prompted the model to write new versions of its own. Evo generated 700,000 potential versions; the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best odds of succeeding.

They ended up making DNA molecules from 285 of Evo’s suggested sequences. […] All told, they discovered that 16 of Evo’s genomes produced viable new viruses.

Dr. Crook cautioned that Evo’s viruses were not radically new creations. They tend to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying biology.

look out for breathless boosters “warning” everyone that ai will kill us all and it’s definitely not used as a marketing strategy

that bot setting is just irl evil bit

there are still coal powerplants around and any replacement is better. geothermal doesn’t work everywhere

Coal ash (from some mines) contains so much uranium that if emissions like this were detected near NPP all hell would break loose, but nobody cares. Energy content of that uranium can be higher than what was released during coal combustion

it replaces gas turbine with a fuel cell, which is a good couple % more efficient than CCGT. still under development. there is also another variant where hot offgas is generated under pressure and expanded directly. no steam, same effect
