You mad about a trade deficit? Lol, we'll show you a trade deficit.

How much more energy would you get if you fused uranium?
At this rate, scavenging and cobbling together essential items out of trash.
I don't think this is the shit hitting the fan yet, but the fan has been turned on, and the bean burrito has been eaten.
You think volume of text dictates what the final conclusion of a comment is? This is why I was questioning your reading comprehension.
And the car thing is exactly what I'm talking about when I said elsewhere that a "solution" is only a real solution if it takes peoples' behavior into account. The reality is, people are not going to give up their cars. It isn't going to happen (in North America, at least). So if any solution tries to include not driving as an integral part, it will fail. Hence the push for electric vehicles. Even if the grid were 100% fossil fuel based, electric cars would still be drastically better. Plus, it's a lot easier to build out renewable grid power than it is to change peoples lifestyles.
Your reading comprehension sucks. I said give me solutions. It's kind of hard to want solutions if you think there's no problem.
And what the US president says has no bearing on this. The rest of the world already knows he's a malicious actor; we're just waiting for the Americans to get off their asses and do something about him.
Wow that link threw me for a second. I was trying to figure out what CSIS was doing with a .org website.
If your solutions that you've had since the 80's don't account for people's behavior, then you don't actually have a solution.
It's like the old joke with school physics problems always starting with "ignoring forces of friction and assuming a point mass...". Yeah you can do that math and come up with an answer, but if you try to apply that answer to real life, it will likely not even come close to working.
Cool story. Doesn't make it any less true. And the reason why people keep saying it is because they are equally tired of the "OMG the planet is dying and we are destroying all life" chorus. We know. We don't need more "awareness" raised for this problem, we need viable solutions. Ones that take the general population's propensity for shitty behavior into account.
Don't worry. The planet will be fine. We may not be around, but life will persist.
You forgot your /s. People seem to be thinking you are serious.
Honestly, this does seem like a valid use of the technology behind crypto. Definitely a more beneficial use than just value speculation like we have now.
