That's GPUSA, which is an older organization that I don't think is a recognized political party anymore. The Green Party that still runs candidates is a spinoff of that older organization http://www.gp.org/platform

DeusExMachinima posted:Space-based solar is hella cool, but the hard void is a pretty unforgiving environment and you'd be replacing panels way more often up there than if they were just down here on Earth. Also building terrestrial power storage for when the sun's not out is much cheaper than launch costs for anything. As for panel replacement, that's a big "yep". You just have to overshoot your intended maximum capacity by like 20-25% and be prepared to replace early and often when tiny poo poo blows through it.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I think in general anything space-based like that is operating under the assumption we'll manufacture it all up there. Launch costs are insane. Yup. That's one reason asteroid mining is getting increasing attention. Getting the space infrastructure to start loving around in space up is going to be expensive and difficult but once you have the basics up it gets cheaper pretty quickly. Gravity wells are a pain to escape but once you figure out ways to build everything outside of one it's far easier and cheaper. Granted that also has its own unique challenges but we're pretty clever apes; we'll sort that poo poo out eventually. Until we figure out stuff like space elevators we'll have to rely on making poo poo on site. Granted 3D printing in space is also promising as all hell.

IIRC I think there was a Japanese (?) company that was talking about launching solar panels into space and beaming the energy down, but they ran into a bunch of snags. The Energy Megathread would probably have more info about it

This reminds me of a fun topic I've always mean to import from the Spaceflight thread in SAL. Opinions on Elon Musk: is he a Randian ubermensch or a generic (trigger warning) NEOLIBERAL? Who What Now posted:Isn't that what forcefields are for? Fun fact: we actually have the technology to project force fields on a limited scale. Unfortunately they can't stop micro-debris that would gently caress up orbital solar panels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_window

I suspected strongly they made it up. This was the only time the bot has ever mentioned it.

I think that was the main thing that outed him as an insufferable idiot. He never once responded to anything at all I asked him and I was making it a point to indicate why his ideas were loving stupid. The things he advocated were provably insane and wrong. Granted the crowning moment I had nothing to do with; when he was claiming that a literal slave state was one of the freest nations in the world he outed himself as a colossal dumbass. At that point I couldn't even think of him as bad or evil anymore. He's just loving stupid and doesn't know any better.

Under normal circumstances, I think the effect of continued automation on the workforce and its effect on the cohesion of society is a thing that needs to be examined closely or else it will result in amplifying the effects of economic inequality. But in the case of Jrod's automation, I will happily make an exception.
