They’re so fucking myopic. A $50k per year chemical manufacturing operator is going to fuck up $20k worth of equipment and finished product a year compared to a $65k per year.
A $100k/yr technician will save your bacon twice a month and make it look easy. The $70k/yr parts changer will misdiagnose away that $30k you ‘saved’ in about 6 months.
Yeah it’s like 30% less heat input to melt cullet and you save raw materials. The problem is the quality impact. It’s a similar problem with paper recycling. Part of that is the fault of consumer preference, and I think that’s changing.

Some info on the challenges
A 12 oz glass bottle takes roughly 1100 BTUs to melt the glass for. That is conveniently, roughly, 1.1 cubic ft of natural gas.
60,000 BTU/hr is a very common size for natural gas HVAC furnaces. That’s basically a bottle a minute, just to give people an idea.
There are other inputs of course, but furnace net efficiency is around 2200 BTU/lb
That seems like a trick that only works the first time
Licenses, not patents. Same effect though. Classic embrace, extend, extinguish.

But have you seen Rampart?
Same, just noting that they weren’t a default option in my ddns plugin. I’m sure that’s changed since 2023?
You guys are missing the point- reading the meter isn’t the problem. To disconnect you, they open the cover the nest is built on, and pull the clear plastic meter out.
Though the one in the picture has a clamp ring instead, you’d still disturb them.
Maybe one day but for now it’s just green washed big oil
At present, however, just 2 per cent of the 600 billion cubic metres of hydrogen manufactured each year around the world is produced by water electrolysis, while 98 per cent is produced from natural gas, with carbon dioxide as a by-product.
More than 90 per cent of this hydrogen is used as a building block for fertilisers or is consumed within the oil, refining and wider petrochemicals industry.
He’s looking for dumb money
Where do you get the H2 from?
Did I feed the goats today?

I’m running opnsense virtualized. I’d recommend a spare PC with two nics to learn it on first.
The inverters and hvjb could implement those features but you can’t really DRM copper windings and nickel cell casings
Anything attempting to leave the LAN on port 53 or 853 gets redirected to my pihole and logged. It’s mostly google stuff, but TV’s do it too. A determined enshittifier could implement DoH or DoT.
It’s a little more complicated than that. They also factor in salvage value, and what it’d be worth after repair. Basically, whatever is cheaper for them. I’m guessing the battery and motors are quite valuable as salvage parts, and the value of a repaired CT is substantially lower.
For instance- my 2017 2 door coupe, and my partners 2019 small SUV were both crushed in hurricane Helene. Adjusters stopped adding repair costs at $12k for my coupe, which they paid me $32k for. Her SUV was basically the same story- $11k in damage was enough to total it, and they paid her $24k.
I had a cheapo KVM that came with that A-to-A arrangement
I jumped through all their hoops for a Supervised Debian 11 install. It was a massive pain in the ass, and they dropped support for 11 back in October. 0/10 would not recommend.
