Garrrrrrrrrgh!

I see this and the only thing that comes to mind is to say something extremely puerile and crass... I’ve typed it out like twice, but I won’t, because as terrible a human she is, that’s I line that is unfair to cross.

She’s just a terrible person, pandering to a group of people who like to pretend really…

Yep, the only silver lining is that we will have IMMEDIATE proof of what scientists have been telling us for... decades.

Which means that the public will immediately call for the heads of every single politician, talking head, and executive that have done everything they can to sow uncertainty on climate change. Then,…

Go read about Generation III and Generation IV Nuclear Power plants, right now.

Those designs, in part, require existing waste for reprocessing. Which can be done over and over and over, until the final waste has a half-life not much different than metals used in ornamental jewelry.

The information you are using is…

Technically, there are earth based solar reactors that are capable of operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are salt reactors.

What they do is focus the light of the sun on a kind of salt that can reach obscenely hot, as in cause a human to burst into flame and ash within a few moments kind of heat.

This heat is…

You really need to research Generation III and Generation IV nuclear power plant designs. They are incapable of melting down, because of the way they are designed a “meltdown” will actually cause the reactor to shutdown, without any intervention. The melted down reactor can then be reloaded within a short period of tim…

I love all of the plan... EXCEPT the anti-Nuclear position.

I mean shit, we have Generation III and Generation IV nuclear plant designs, they are designed to never melt down, we understand enough now, that we can do that! Some of them don’t even need water for cooling, so no radioactive waste water.

They even use…

Libertarians will never learn from his bad example.

They wallow in the “fact” that they have learned enough. They do the one job they are good at and they ignore any and all information that doesn’t suit their worldview.

Just spend some time talking to some Libertarians. The only decent ones are those who are ashamed…

When I first heard of these plans to install a solar road, I immediately thought...

Wouldn’t it be less expensive and better to line the sides of highways with solar panels? They are already cleared spaces, it wouldn’t require chopping down trees or covering meadows with sun blocking panels either... 

Well, good thing we don’t have any structural issues, like very high consumer debt, households being unable to handle a $400 emergency, over a trillion out in student debt causing said graduates to be unable to purchase homes or brand new vehicles, plus... wages have totally been keeping up with American worker’s…

Yeah and they are gunning for this, over a completely imaginary tale that is not even remotely true. That’s the worst part in all of this.

Bigger does not mean safer. It simply means, bigger.

That’s all it means.

More mass does not mean safer, it means more force is required to slow down and stop the movement of the vehicle. What are these “bigger” vehicles going to keep someone “safe” from?

You ever see a semi-truck with a full load ram into a full…

It’s both. Literally, it’s both.

Yes. He could play an amazing, over the top Riddler, without going into the bizarre BS of Jim Carey...

I completely agree.

I have visited WW every spring going back to 2013. Things have changed, not for the better. :-(

Most larger scale space stations should be built along that sort of premise.

Maybe a few to a half dozen Martian Space Elevators could end at complexes, like you describe, with the elevator making the central axis and one or a series of large rings, spinning to create Earth or JUST over base Earth gravity, filled with…

With the lower gravity, it would potentially be easier to build Space Elevators, meaning there could be a significantly lessened opportunity for death via launch.

Also, even with the accidents that we have seen, I believe that launching into space is still less dangerous than driving, statistically speaking.

I, for one, believe that those orbital bases would be something that would be required, period, for large scale colonization of Mars, for the simple fact that those orbital bases could be set to spin, creating artificial gravity. Which is something that every colonist would need to access, QUITE regularly.

Maybe once a…

In Star Trek, the story is that they discovered some way of generating graviton waves or something similar.

It’s a currently not very testable concept in physics.

The Hitcher was a TERRIFYING movie for me as a kid and so INTENSELY the kind of movie you simply CANNOT turn away from.

It was the intensity that he could push with just his eyes. 

Many, if not MOST of the people fleeing to the US at our Southern Borders are Christians. It’s the color of their skin that matters, nothing else.
