Can't wait for cryptogate when we find out that all cars are mining Voltcoin/Bitcoin and depositing back into VWs bank accounts as a type of carbon payback loop "well, unless you can prove your energy is 100% renewable we're going to assume your city is powered by natural gas/coal" while 100% profiting from it e.g..

Ok, I know it sounds crazy. But what if they put a correctly sized explosive(s) deep enough below and along the spine to blow and then fill the area with water, reducing the rheological load? We're talking about 100 feet underneath the canal bed, and do it with a shaped charge that'll be more optimal for the task. Just thinking about fast <1 week methods.

Solar and off loading batteries from like Ambri is probably a good idea. Nuclear is great, but is simply annoying in every right despite being an existing "throw megawatts at it" solution that's also not spewing gas.

Of course, but you don't seem to have picked up or entertain my implied sentiment and position that public policy is great at best and deception at worse and people often vote against their own interests due to lack of educated individuals, with agreed upon facts and goals, as well as critical thinking being a cultural, societal, worldwide human "common".

For a successful civillization reality must take precedence over public relations for Nature cannot be fooled.

It's more than a travesty.

Perfect, so I, a hypothetical nation state can build targeted and tuned viral RNA for phenotypes and people I know will definitely cause me the most trouble on the battlefield, diplomats, engineering floors, and economy? Oh, corona has among the largest kilobase count? Hmmmmmm. What a fucking coincidence!
