On "ranking" users and people by preference

Essentially, you needn't write a list as you already have a hierarchy in your head.

That being said, I try not to write down subjective lists about people at all. I like stats though, and numerically ordered lists like rankings and sports results are my favourite.

I also like stats (probably one of the biggest subconcious reasons I joined this site), so I'll go ahead and share some cool things with you (this is a total nerd moment for me, sorry):

(The charts are mine, but I sourced the numbers from the EIA)

Haha, as you can see, my most recent project has been about electricity production and renewables in particular. I've thought about making a thread with this, might get around to it once complete numbers for 2017 are available (which should be on monday!). Again, sorry about this, just had a total nerd-down here

It's actually pretty sad to see that the energy transition at the current rate isn't going to make a real difference until 2050. What is especially troublesome is the trend you see in European countries that renewable energy will first replace nuclear energy and Coal, Oil, Gas and other fossil fuels will remain. So they will not be replaced for decades. Oh well at least gas is replacing coals, so that's a win. Anyway at the current rate 4 degrees climate change due to our CO2 emission instead of 2 is more likely. Especially since the EROI for all fossil fuels is on decline.

The only way the energytransition can really take off is when people start to really care and small energy projects to really take off. In Germany this approach is pretty successful. It's just a shame they close down nuclear plants, which are relatively clean instead of coal. In my country it's even worse since the grams of carbon per kW/h is actually rising.
