You don't know this can't be done at scale? You can link me any type of experiment you like. Call me when this works at scale.

What limits the scale?

Energy.

Electrical energy is scalable. You use a bigger wire.

Lmao! You really are just trolling.

You claim "energy" is not scalable, and you claim I'm trolling?

Do you want to elaborate on what process of "energy" doesn't scale?

The sun puts out a total of 3.8 × 1026 watts, which is energy, and more than enough for any current human process. So you can't mean that there's limits to energy in general that limit the scalability.

I'm not sure if you know that or if you dropped out of elementary school.

The amount of electricity you need for complete electrolytic ammonia production isn't scalable you dunce. The fact that you said "use a bigger wire" means you're either trolling or have no idea just how much electricity you would actually need to achieve it. And how are you going to produce that electricity? Which brings me to your point about the sun. Do you even know how much raw materials we would need to build all the solar panels, and wind turbines, required for your "green transition"? Do you know how much the mining industry will have to expand to extract said materials? Do you know how much fossil fuels -- mining runs on diesel -- that would require? Do you know how long that would take? You obviously don't know. Seriously, if this is the level of thinking "higher education" produces then the state of academia is even worse than I thought. Weren't you liberals supposed to be intelligent? Or did you major in one of the "social sciences"? I guess you're actually not that smart after all. The midwit meme is real. Lol!
