There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.

This is simply false.

- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life

The coil is the heart of every NMR probe. It is used to send pulses and receive signals from the NMR-active nuclei. Its material and design directly affect NMR resolution and sensitivity, making it a crucial component of any NMR spectrometer.

Saganism @sagan.bsky.social · Apr 30

One of the saddest lessons of history is this:

If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.

The bamboozle has captured
us.
