Interesting roasters. I like the UN agenda 30 technocratic era friendly features, no evil fossil fuels and supposedly scrubs most of that pesky CO2! Totally "sustainable".

All joking aside, its interesting how companies sales departments tout their low carbon footprint appliances by going electric but when you do the real deep dive, most electric power plants are burning coal or natural gas with more undesirable exhaust emissions than if we ran our heating and cooking equipment and automobiles on natural gas, propane and petrol.

But, with the fast approaching full adoption of agenda 30 climate/environmental rules and regulations, gas appliances will be forced out and fully electric will be the only options for us.

I was only reading the other day that the wonderful salt flats in Bolivia are going to be mined for their Lithium by the Chinese. There’ll be widespread exploitation of the indigenous population, environmental poisoning and corruption. Why can’t people ride bicycles to the café to get their skinny soya lattes? Jajaja

The big coffee players are moving their polluting old equipment to countries of origin where they’re still below their carbon quota. I doesn’t solve anything just helps with the greenwashing. And I bet they’re not paying the same labour rates either.
