45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:Lets say we start pulling carbon out of the air at the same rate we put it into the air. Where the gently caress do we store 9.32 million barrels worth of carbon every loving day? Build stuff with it. We need to be able to turn that carbon into fibers and other carbon polymers, and those into useful materials and infrastructure. Basically our only hope there is nano-mechanical construction, which is only a hundred years of expensive and intense research away.

There was a promising wave power generator coming out a decade ago, but they went bankrupt and supposedly China also stole their blueprints  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelamis_Wave_Power The wave generators sat atop the water in the tidal zone, and let the waves rock a fluid back and forth across what was a cross between a wind turbine and a hydroelectric generator. There’s a huge amount of power available just from simple wave motion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power If only we had a nationwide system that could link solar power (PV and concentrated solar arrays) from the southwest, wave power from the coasts, wind power from the mountains, all alongside a solid bedrock of nuclear power...and then we maintained it because the price of failure is astronomically high. If only

Some of my relatives who are super into crypto currency (and believe in a National Treasure-esque conspiracy theory that one of the Roosevelts has a gold vault in the grand canyon that will cancel all US debt) were in hobby lobby yesterday arranging the craft letters to say "Epstein didn't kill himself". I don't know if I should laugh or cry at this point, but I'm taking over a majority of the Thanksgiving cooking and self-medicating with alcohol since I'm in the kitchen. I have a massive inner ear infection so nobody will suspect if I look miserable

Even if we reforested the earth to what it was like during the time of Jesus that would do nothing to solve the issue of what to do with the carbon from fossil fuels. a) we bury it until we can use it-- b) when we can produce sufficient clean energy, transition to carbon fibers and polymers, at least until human engineered plastic eating bacteria eat everyone's houses, leaving the only safe storage as: c) manufactured diamonds. 40 billion metric tons of CO2 per year * 12g of carbon / 44g of CO2 = 11 billion metric tons or 5.5x10^16 carats of diamonds. The most bling of all futures. At that point, if we accidentally make the atmosphere flammable, all that will be left of our society will sparkle. Edit: corrected carats math: 1.1x10^1 billion (1x10^9) metric tons * 10^3 kg/metric ton * 10^3g/kg * 5 carats/g piL fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Nov 28, 2019 |

Yo that gold vault poo poo is sovcit scripture and you probably should ask them pointed/leading questions about flag tassels to see where they are in the rabbit hole. The part where it connects to the mainline "identity isn't real" sovcittery is where they believe SSNs and identities are part of a paper draft against that gold reserve or something, and you can file the magic papers to "redeem" it and cancel all your debt.

FAUXTON posted:Yo that gold vault poo poo is sovcit scripture and you probably should ask them pointed/leading questions about flag tassels to see where they are in the rabbit hole. I drilled a test well and it seems that this particular tinfoil hat is based on the idea that there are deep state (but good?!) actors in the government going back decades that want to dissolve the Fed and return the US to the glorious free market ideals it was founded on. The secret gold (?) vault is a part of the founders/Roosevelts/Nicholas cage plan to do this. Maybe not gold though... Since this idea was last pitched to me in the summer, apparently gold and cryptos are bad and we should focus on silver investment now. So the vault in the Grand Canyon might be filled with a different precious metal than gold. In all seriousness the videos they are watching point to very real signs of a recession in the next year or three, which I am fine with. gently caress it. There is a non-zero chance this will lead to a rafting and/or hiking trip in the Grand Canyon financed by my relatives, so that is the small ray of sunshine I choose to hang on to in this moment.
