Yes, they are still in design concept stage I believe and quite sometime from reality.

The SUMR (Segmented Ultralight Morphing Rotors) project at US Department of Energy (ARPAE) aims to design extreme-scale blades that are 200 meters long. Such blades can power 50-megawatt wind turbines and will be taller than the Eiffel Tower.

Whichever you play around with the various datasets, what awaits the planet is really scary. Please share this map and make everyone aware what lies ahead for their country/region!

Absolutely agree with your point here that we are presented with trade-offs in the real world. The data simply shows the facts. Many deductions can be made. For example, it highlights the hypocrisy of Europe in criticizing countries like India and China when Europe bought 60% of the Russia's fossil fuel exports. They face a trade off too. Everyone does.

Another deduction can be - this reality was known to Europe and the West in general (deep fossil dependence on Russia) and the trade offs that would arise if a war started - still the war happened. It is not impossible to believe that this war could have been avoided.

..wait for it...reserve :) Roughly 11x its active army personnel are on standby and can be called in to serve in times of war. Does anyone know if this has always been true (in times of US and Vietnam far e.g.)?

For better context, Vietnam population is 97million.
