Internet says: “A standard cord of well-seasoned hardwood (stack of wood 4’X 4’X 8’ or 128 cubic feet) contains the heat equivalent of about 20 million BTU’s. By way of comparison this is more or less equivalent to the heat value in 145 gallons (3.38 barrels) of #2 fuel oil or 215 gallons of LP gas (5.119 barrels).”

As a rule of thumb, you can sustainably harvest one half to one full cord (128 cubic feet or 4’x4’x8′) of firewood per acre per year.

1 short ton (2,000 pounds) of coal (consumed by the electric power sector) = 18,820,000 Btu. Therefore, an acre of forest is like a tonne of coal a year.

Great Britain used 75 to 275 million tonnes of coal per year 1860-1980 (More precise figures in a spreadsheet here tell the same story: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/historical-coal-data-coal-production-availability-and-consumption)

Great Britain is 60 million acres, so even at 100% forestation it wouldn’t equal coal, but could contribute.

Seems like a good time to short

‘Better to ask for forgiveness than permission’ attitude.

Shoshana Zuboff documents how Big Tech works this way. They do lots of illegal products like Google Streetview, then pay the fines and keept he product.

They’ve only arrested two of them; not sure they can find the other guy.

Nah, that doesn’t seem to be what they’re about.

It’s an accelerometer, thermometer etc. worn on the ear. Ear wearable.

That’s not true.

The moon cycle and the sun cycle aren’t in an integer ratio.

The official position is it has an enclave that locally listens only for the wake-word, and when it hears that, it activates the audio connection to the cloud.

I have extremrly critical support for this.

Supporting the UK and Germany is supporting Israël.

But if it helps weaken the USA, some beneficial outcomes will accrue.

Moving to free alternatives is the best, even if they’re USA-linked.

That was happening before AI

All it takes is social media
