You left out :

Never mind the car. I want to see a greased penguin on ice.

Don’t know enough about those ecosystems, or the economics of building and running such a pipeline to comment specifically. Building some infrastructure to capture waste water discharge from water treatment plants would be easier to do. It does seem that they are doing something about it, according to this article :

OK, I’m really curious. What is “mourned” a typo (or auto-correct) of? “around”?

Tried to reply yesterday but Kinja was borked then. It all depends on his motivation. I don’t know his motivation, that’s why I said “maybe”.

I’d like to think it is because over the years we’ve learned that drastically altering ecosystems by diverting its water to another region can have disastrous consequences. But it is more likely that this is a long term project with no immediate payback, so does not interest politicians whose only goal is to be…

On the topic of very expensive and rather impractical electric cars, I present the Tango :

I gave him one just for you :)

There’s only so many times you can talk about the heat death of the universe before people start getting bored, especially since we don’t know if that’s the outcome in the first place.
