The Pentagon is mad woke.
We are doomed.
Russia and China are laughing.
Question #2, how much is Communist China going to charge USA for Lithium for electric car/truck/bus batteries while they are re-taking Taiwan & we need them for our Transportation etc? Just transferring dependence from Communist Russia to Communist China for USA "fuel" isn't actual problem solving.anygunanywhere wrote: Tue Feb 22, 2022 12:43 pm How many lithium ion batteries is it going to take to equip an M1 Abrams?!?!?!?

Apparently we have a lot of Lithium here in the US. But its too difficult to mine because of environmental regulations.NotRPB wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 7:14 pmQuestion #2, how much is Communist China going to charge USA for Lithium for electric car/truck/bus batteries while they are re-taking Taiwan & we need them for our Transportation etc?

I read somewhere a "small"? nuclear war would create a "nuclear winter" solving the whole global warming "crisis" ... so apparently there are options
LOL!!!! So climate change is the big worry of robinsonmeyer from a nuclear war? Yeah! Climate change would be the first thing I would worry about in a nuclear war. LOL... these climate change people are just delusional.

The mainstream propaganda for eating insects instead of beef begins today. The sustainable superfood.

Idiots!"Grasshopper environmental damage is most often associated with rangeland, corn, small grains, and vegetable crops. However, during heavy infestations almost any type of plant may be attacked, including trees, shrubs, ornamentals, flowers, and turfgrass. Grasshoppers are commonly thought of as foliage feeders, but will also feed on flowers, fruits, seed heads, stems, and essentially all above ground plant parts."
If we could harvest enough grasshoppers to support just 1% of the U.S. population, we'd have a literal, Biblical plague of locusts destroying all the plant life on which everything feeds.Very nice analysis of the nutritional value of grasshoppers. Unfortunately, I don't like how live grasshopper legs get stuck in my teeth, & the crunch is a bit... Off-putting. I much preferred crickets back in the day, but unless a real necessity I'll stick to beef, chicken, & pork.Rafe wrote: Thu Jul 21, 2022 7:19 pmDo these radical greenie nimrods bother to think about, even momentarily, the stuff they spout?philip964 wrote: Thu Jul 21, 2022 3:54 pm https://www.bbc.com/future/article/2022 ... the-future

Grasshopper
Portion Size: 30g
Total Fat: 1.1g
Cholesterol: 3.3mg
Total Carbohydrate: 9.6g
Protein: 0.3g
Essential Amino Acids Present: Leucine (80.9–88.5), Lysine (54.0–69.8), Valine (59.2–61.8)
Essential Amino Acids Absent: Histidine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, and Tryptophan
The average grasshopper weighs 300mg. The long-horned grasshopper (family Tettigoniidae; commonly called katydids in North America) weigh (undried) about 0.54 grams. So let's be generous and say 500mg dried: 2 dried grasshoppers equal 1 gram in weight for purposes of serving size.
The World Health Organization sets the Safe Level of Protein (SLP) intake at 0.83 grams per kilogram per day, or 0.38 grams per pound per day. A 200-pound man would need, per the WHO minimum, 76 grams of protein per day. (As someone who lifts weights with mild seriousness, my general target is 0.7-0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight per day; for our 200-pound example, that would be around 150 grams of protein, but we won't even go there...)
It takes 60 grasshoppers to reach the portion size of 30 grams...which yields only 0.3 grams of protein. That means it would take 3.33 30g servings to reach 1 gram of protein; that's 253 servings to reach 76 grams of very incomplete protein: only 3 of the 9 essential amino acids.
At 60 grasshoppers per serving, that's 15,180 grasshoppers per day to meet minimum, safe protein intake guidelines for one human.
The 2020 population of San Antonio was 1.529 million. If we got just 1.529 million people (about 0.46% of the U.S. population) to switch to grasshoppers for their protein source, we'd need over 23.2 billion grasshoppers every single day, or over 8.468 trillion each year to minimally sustain just San Antonio...and then people would be dying from lack of essential amino acids if they didn't also have other sources of protein.
But they could supplement with plant protein, right? Well...
Have any of these climate change alarmists bothered to even ask an entomologist about this idea...or spend three minutes on Google?
