Reply to Even Hackers are reportedly getting Laid Off by Organized Crime Groups by TradingAllIn

TBH the huge number of tech sector job cuts that suddenly seem to be announced daily in recent week’s (by companies who couldn’t recruit new people fast enough a matter of weeks before) was already sounding strange to me. Now I’m being told that scammers are also cutting back on staff numbers as well? The criminals that defraud you, blackmail you to steal your money, why would they cut staff?

Please don’t tell me it’s the new law that might be in place by 2025, or that it’s that new National task force that last year manage to extradite A (that’s 1) man from Poland on charges and it can’t be the economic climate as there’s still plenty if opportunity to scam and steal from people….inflation, interest rates and shop prices don’t impact on their business..

Reply to How Much Land Would It Require To Get Most Of Our Electricity From Wind & Solar? by BlitzOrion

> Critics of wind and solar routinely raise concerns about how much land would be required to decarbonize the US power sector. Fortunately, the answer is relatively little. A recent National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study shows that it would take less than 1 percent of the land in the Lower 48 — that’s an area comparable to or even smaller than the fossil fuel industry’s current footprint. And when wind and solar projects are responsibly sited, the environmental and public health impacts would be far less harmful than those from extracting, producing, and burning fossil fuels.
