We don’t need money being invested into these processes yet. The generation of energy is the thing that is stopping further advancement in green technology. Without cheaper ways to generate electricity and distribute it these funds are pandering to the general public.

Reply to comment by SoulSearchingRaven in National parks along Lake Superior to be first to fully decarbonize by sunflowerastronaut
The name is from French simply meaning "upper lake" which has been translated into English, but it fits quite well.
If you've ever been to the lake in-person it hits you. I'll speak for myself, but the presence of the lake is different than the other great lakes.
Lake Superior is cold, deep, massive, and dangerous. I can tell you from kayaking near the shore that you don't want to go too far out. And that was on a calm day when it was safe.
The waves seem to be larger than they should be. The water is frigid and eerily crystal clear. And the expanse past the horizon is dark and looming.
Even modern day "lakers" are at risk of capsizing during storms ("The gales of November..."). They will take refuge behind geographic features such as the Apostle Islands to weather out a bad one. And they can still be caught off guard even today.

It’s low THC oil, not medical cannabis. And since you can currently buy Delta 8 hemp and cbd products online and in stores it’s hard to understand how this is a win for anyone except for the two companies who got the exclusive contract.

There’s a meme based on the first scene where he and Hansel see each other at the awards ceremony so I guess it’s just on people’s minds

Why is that lake called superior? In what way is it superior than other lakes? What most superior thing does it have that other lakes don’t? 🧐
lol 👌
Edit: I’m thankful for people sharing their knowledge and all but I was just making a joke. so I’m sorry that my joke wasn’t clear enough.

Not mentioned in the article, but in no way is medical access to marijuana available to everyone who would benefit from it in Georgia. Only very specific cancer treatment and maybe a few other things qualify AFAIK.

Unfortunately, they only say that as a reflexive defence when it works in their favour, or abuses happen. When it works against them, they'll demand boycotts and protectionist laws. There's already laws going on the books in some states to make it harder to sell EVs, for example. The UK government wanted to bloody ban onshore wind and solar!

Nice to see the financial incentives have started to flip. All those people who say "let the market decide", there you go!

Ah so basically swapping out old carbon emitting tech for newer, more eco friendly ones? Thanks!

Just means they are trying to emit less carbon into the atmosphere. Currently these parks rely on diesel generators for power and gasoline vehicles for park maintenance
These will be the first parks to change that

My feelings are hurt because I pointed out that some shitty article is barely news? Boy that's a bad read
DancingIBear t1_j6jp7zk wrote
Even though my english skills aren’t that bad: what does decarbonize mean in this context? I know what you do when you decarbonize a machine, but I do not think it’s the same process for national parks.

> I personally would appreciate it more if it’s actual news
This implies you don’t believe it’s news.
Then saying:
> perhaps we can technically classify it as such
You said “perhaps” which means “maybe” so you’re still not calling it news.
So no, you did not say it was news in your comment.

Progress on renewable energy generation is happening in a dramatic way. It is also important to prove out how existing manufacturing can take advantage of electricity as the power source rather than direct burning of fossil fuels by industry.
