human powered approaches vs heli, planes, skidoos
G-spotter replied to dirtbagathlete's topic in Climber's Board
Yes. I should think that the emissions from the production of gasoline are of a similar quantity if not the same chemically. As I spent 10 minutes googling and skimming. One of the major accounted benefits of biodiesel is that producing more biodiesel pulls more CO2 out of the air. Not if produced by conventional 'factory farm' agricultural practices, and that is the main catch. Yeah and organic farming will do a better job, since organic yields are ~50% of factory farm yields? It's apparent from this blanket statement that you not only do not know a thing about organic farming, but that you also don't know how to put together an argument. It's well known that organic agricultural yields per unit of fuel are far, far higher than factory farms. It's also well known that they maintain sustainable top soil health; something factory farms do not. You live in a city. I live in the country. Next to an organic farm. You don't know jack shit about farming, city boy. Organic yields are significantly lower than from "conventional" farming. This is one of the main reasons why organic produce costs more. If a farmer wants to go organic, they need to be able to earn more for their crop to make up for the decreased yield. -

I reread the article and it's not 1.3 gallons of ethanol per gallon of gasoline, but 130% efficiency. So that's more than 1.3 gallons of ethnol because of the reduced energy density. -

I'm writing this stupid fucking proposal until it's done. Then I'm going to go climbing for the first time in 2 months -

1) No, it doesn't. The best estimates (from Scientific American article on biofuels) is that a gallon of fossil fuel will get you approximately 1.3 gallons of ethanol from corn. Or 1.9 gallons of biodiesel from soy. or ~20 gallons of ethanol from brazilian sugarcane..... 2) you don't get biodiesel from corn. Mazola aside, corn doesn't make a lot of oil. You get biodiesel from oilseed crops like soy, sunflower, etc. -

they don't bring a chopper in from Jasper. The chopper is from Valemount - 5 min flight from robson. You seem optimistic about Subaru mileage. Two tanks to robson and two tanks back is 200 liters. Same as for the flight. To get upset about the flight but not the drive is to be so upset about your "girl"friend's moustache that you don't notice her balls. -

An AStar in one hour can go 200km or more. So that's 1 km per liter . Now a big pickup truck gets about 6 km per liter and a loaded Subaru gets about 12 km per liter. So in terms of efficiency, you spend 12 hours driving 1000km to Robson, 1/2 hour flying in - which one burned more fuel in total? Oh yeah good job driving at 0.5 km/h too -

you want to really save the planet? work out how many tons of carbon you will emit or cause to be emitted through work and play over the rest of your life. now kill yourself. reduce the carbon emissions by that much! -

there ain't no difference between flying to a climb and driving to a climb so unless you ride your bike to every crag and trailhead, like the Self-Propelled Outdoor Club do, you might as well shut the fuck up. -

where's the power to post this screed coming from? a human powered computer? or maybe a hamster wheel powered computer? -
I remember when I worked at The Edge Dan Savage did a column on where to go for public sex and mentioned there was a Vaancouver website listing places with hookups in washrooms. Well, this got discussed quite heavily at the Edge with staff having the thought of adding the gym to the list in order to see how long management would take to figure out why they suddenly had a bunch of new members joining.

It's funny to see someone dis child molestation but advocate child beating in the same post. Possibly related to fantasy of providing Miss SC with discipline for failing geography?

by uninhibited, do you mean "like to fuck guys who are taking a shit"? cause that sounds more like "skanky" to me
