I’ve noticed in Australia that when we have a conservative climate denying government people’s opinions shift in that direction. When we have a more balanced government the opinion shifts to being active on climate issues. Media has a lot to do with it however, leadership seems to be a big factor. It’s obvious that the government’s messaging is important. Trump’s relentless banging on about climate hoax etc will sway people who are not well grounded in the issues.

“Last summer for the first time in the history of warfare Russian soldiers even surrendered to an armed ground robot.”

And then Trump closes the Straight of Hormuz and ev sales increase. The question is whether Tesla gets a boost.

Hmmm? Battery equipped stoves? I’ve had an induction stove for 12 years and there is no battery. What’s the story?

This algorithmic driven ad system sucks. If I want something I look for it. That they think I have a mush brain that needs to be forced fed with nonsense and other undesirable rubbish is infuriating. Hence I have a strong desire to avoid it all.

I’m not arguing the value of nuclear power it is really that the pointy heads can’t see that it is competitive with renewables. Personally I think that as renewables get to saturation then we will work out where we need continuous power generation. The trouble with nuclear is that 10-30 year lead time is difficult to commit to such an uncertain future.

In many countries it is possible to build new nuclear plants. They haven’t been built due to economics. When you say the costs are comparable with renewables, the market obviously doesn’t think so.

Scotty from Marketing was such a visionary!

Demented Donny is really a covert climate warrior promoting the use of renewable energy! Who would have thought?

Extortion is part of his repertoire.

The key is the number of course corrections that are done currently to avoid collisions, there are multiple a week atm (it’s up to half a dozen per week). Increase the density of satellites and the number of corrections increaes at a function greater linear. Stands to reason that with multiple companies and governments all doing course corrections then someone will zig when they should have zagged.

They have said that before and had to leave.

Is the US not there or is Trump not there? He’s pretty old and not that healthy. Sooner or later someone more pragmatic will be in the chair.

It’s not the first cab off the rank. Processes that are energy intensive may need careful consideration and I’m sure smart minds will work it out. We need to move forward and economics of energy production are shifting rapidly which will initiate change. It’s always been the case.

As you say, these are industrial processes and need to be addressed by industrial solutions. There are new processes for steel, cement and fertiliser being developed and tested. They will move to mainstream as we electrify everything.

I thought the law said that inadvertent collection has to be deleted asap not that you forfeited your rights.

Most Apple accounts need a credit card attached. If kids have a phone then it will need a credit card. As you need to be 18 in many countries to get a credit card then for kids to use a phone they will need the parents card. I fail to see how this helps age verification.
