Climate people, did the fossil fuel industry seed and propagate the idea that renewables (specifically batteries) require materials, which require mining, which is bad (so implicitly we should just run on fossil fuels forever)? It's just striking to me how devoutly people repeat it unexamined....

People are afraid to bring new life into this depraved, cruel, war-torn, climate-endangered world, pretty obvious if you read the news each day
This is actually kind of crazy and again implies it's not really any specific country's policies. But it does continue to support my "video games got too fun, more fun than baby" theory.

So… apparently chestnuts will successfully germinate on the ground over winter in Michigan. I’ve wondered cause most sources I see say freezing temperatures kill the chestnut. That must only apply in a freezer ? Something t to do with humidity levels?
