Quick someone tell Trump about how wind turbines kill birds, we can put wind turbines on top of the wall to generate electricity and mulch Mexican rapists!

Yes along with a proposed trench of radioactive waste. Another has a train paralleling the length.

The solar panel part is stupid, but not as stupid as making it 50 feet tall. I swear every wall proposal is made by a loving child.

Not much land area. https://hyperallergic.com/372172/six-designs-for-trumps-border-wall-from-solar-panels-to-a-mexican-american-co-nation/  quote:Managing Partner Tom Gleason: “Ever since Donald Trump announced his intention to build a wall with Mexico, I wanted to get to President Trump a design for the wall that would be safest for the boys and young men trying to climb the walls and design a wall that would pay for itself with electricity production and four barriers of resistance, each with sensors to advise US Border Patrol when an intruder was making their way over or through the wall and activating lights and cameras for immediate visuals. When the solicitation was announced, we quickly began design our version of the wall, with Marko as our chief designer. Marko is a civil engineer, so we know our design will handle the earthquakes, rains, high winds, and we believe we can significantly discourage intruders from attempting to scale or penetrate our wall.” So basically the designer thinks the wall is a stupid idea in general, but if Trump is so drat insistent on building it they might as well stick some solar panels on there so at least some good can come of it. Not that the loving thing is even going to be built at all.

There's no way MS paid that kind of money for Mojang without SOME kind of assurance it wouldn't immediately catch fire. Microsoft kept the Mojang dev team to continue their work on the java version of Minecraft while Microsoft is developing all 100 other editions of Minecraft.

Pellisworth posted:Quick someone tell Trump about how wind turbines kill birds, we can put wind turbines on top of the wall to generate electricity and mulch Mexican rapists! oh he's well aware of how wind kills all your birds "The GOP presidential nominee has stated his preference for coal and natural gas, and has previously said that solar power is unreliable and wind turbines are unsightly and harmful to wildlife. “It’s so expensive,” Trump said of alternative energy at a rally in Pennsylvania. “And honestly, it’s not working so good. I know a lot about solar. I love solar. But the payback is what, 18 years? Oh great, let me do it. Eighteen years,” he said, turning to wind power. “The wind kills all your birds. All your birds, killed. You know, the environmentalists never talk about that.”

Pellisworth posted:Wouldn't that be a tiny amount of solar power? Not much land area. Solar power is strange to human conception in that the area you need to generate a rather vast amount of power is tiny on a map and any national scale, but the area needed to generate a useful amount of power seems vast in person. At 40 feet wide along the entire border it'd be one of the largest power plants in the US. It comes to roughly 40 million square meters, which at around 150 watt of power generation per meter square is 6 gigawatts. Granted, not around the clock, but the largest nuclear power plant (Palo Verde) manages 3.3 gigawatts on average, so you'd be up there with the big ones certainly.

To point out the obvious flaw: given that IIRC the wall isn't planned to be all that tall, if I were a Mexican living near the border, I'd be tempted to start spending my weekends throwing paint at the panels on top. Or garbage. Or poo poo. Somehow, I suspect local law enforcement might turn a blind eye.

This seems to be his trademark facial expression. I guess it's supposed to be some kind of smug smile, but it also looks like he could cry at any second, or he's very angry. It suggests someone who's desperately trying to control his expression and appearance, but failing miserably.
