At the core of this discovery, published in Science Advances, is barium titanate (BaTiO₃), a material known for its ability to convert light into electricity, though not very efficiently on its own.

I was just watching a presentation on cooling paints and Barium seems to be relevant there: Revolutionary Paint: How to Make Surfaces Stay Cool in the Sun - YouTube

Corporate tax deductions for intangible drilling costs have been available since 1913, making it “the oldest and the largest fossil fuel subsidy on the books,” according to a recent report on the Lankford bill. In current law, all the costs of drilling oil and gas wells can be deducted in the year they are incurred, rather than over the lifetime of the well.

The CAMT weakens that deduction by requiring drillers to pay some tax, but the Lankford bill would effectively apply the deduction to the CAMT directly, taking many drillers below the threshold of qualifying for minimum taxes. “We need to be able to get some relief to them so they’re not constantly worried about it,” Lankford said in a CNBC appearance in January.

At least they accept that tax breaks are subsidies. That's how tax breaks should always be presented.

The Senate Finance Committee aims to change that. Section 70523, buried on page 343 of the 549-page draft text, makes a tweak to the CAMT by directing the Internal Revenue Service to take into account “intangible drilling and development costs.”

Is this what Peak Oil looks like?

Thanks, I'll look into it. I tend to avoid messing with the local app folders which are often hidden and can be break if you change something.

I'd like a browser that can sync those things with a local folder that I can sync/backup however I want, no account required. Does anyone know of such a thing?

Finally, some good news.

Basically, tourism need to be rationed scientifically, not by the markets, and making it exclusive, while appealing to rich people and locals, is unwise.

I just saw this video yesterday with a decent explanation of the problem: Have These Countries Drowned Themselves in Tourism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hHcqP7RrV4 (/Micro-Econ-YT)

The rainforest is the most promising frontier for the oil industry, with one-fifth of the world’s newly discovered reserves from 2022-24.
