it was probably completely clear to them

“France to clean the seine for 2024 olympics” all over again.

fidget spinner of prosperity at it again :)

My bet would be Japan, floating offshore makes most sense in deep water, which is all Japan has, whilst china still has a lot of better and more accessable wind reasources.

thank mr skeltal

oh shit you’re right

I’m not entirely sure where the concept that farmed meat would be immune to pathogens comes from? It’s still meat afterall, it’s still got cells that are suspectable to disease. And it’s not like they could be indefinately kept in isolation to each other either. Eventually the move away from fbs necessiates that we get lab meat from lab meat, ouroboros style. Not to mention such labgrown meat is unlikely to have all the lymph nodes etc… of a real cow.

it pokes through like a space marines pony tail

I mean, at that point just use soy beans.

So dumb money funds my power bill, I fail to see the problem?

Distribution is Infrastructure, hence why the national grid is the national grid, and should remain so. Generation is a bulk commodity, and having bulk commodities in the hands of government alone is not a good idea. If the UK government were the sole body with the right to generate electricity we would probably still be a coal powered nation.

You bring up food, but would you really want all farms nationalised? A total government monopoly on food production is the ideal in your mind?

If something is ‘too big to fail’, then it should be mixed, with both public options and private. Two points of failure are better than one. This way you do not need to bailout the private sector unquestioningly at every market scare, nor does the entire country collapse after a few years of government malice/incompetence. Imagine how much more damage the Tories would do if they had control of all ‘Essentials to modern life and civilization’ instead of just the relatively small slice currently done by government in the UK.

How dare the private sector involve itself in … power generation? Like I get healthcare/space travel/public transport/steel whatever, but if you aren’t willing to accept the private sector from making green power during a global energy & climate crisis what are you willing to let it do?

Well, at least they aren’t getting more expensive yet, it’d be werid explaining to my grandkids how I grew up in the ‘age of cheap semi-conductors’.

I mean, Jevon’s Paradox works because the increased efficiency leads to decreased costs. It’s unclear if that’s going to be the case for electric cars because the hardware needed to get to that high efficiency is so expensive, and mostly made cost-effective by government assistance (I.e. eletric cars here in the UK do not pay road tax).

I’m also not sure if lowered costs would massively change the number of drivers (at least in the developed world) in the EU there’s one car for every two people. We’re not going to see that become 5 cars for every two people just because the efficiency increases, demand is too inelastic.

I mean honestly, if any government can fuck up a large-scale infrastructure project it’s absolutely the US federal government.

I mean, any network is just a set of regional connections. Sure maybe no one takes NYC - LA line, but if people are taking the NYC to Chicago and LA to Dallas and Dallas To Chicago there’s no reason not to join them up.

… “Multi-modal reflection sorting” should confuse you, on account of the fact it is nonsense.

Yeah I know y’all read LOTR, yet none of you are anarcho-monarchists.

No, but if you go by reading age, I can pretend pretty easily. Much more ethical source for my kicks than actual child predation.
