My guess here is that this will just add cost to satisfy a very niche group of gamers. Most play a game an on-line game, finish it, and don't come back. Others might pay a subscription to an MMO for a while. There are just a small group of folks that want to pick up that online game 5 years from now. Why jack up costs to support that?

The will be made whole based on the value in November 2022. That could still represent a huge loss (depending on what each holder would have done).

Same deal.

It seems like a win-win. The birds collect organic matter within themselves, the hit the windmills, fall to the Earth, and act as fertilizer for farmland.

I bet you became really good at making those modem screeching noises. :)

Started in BASIC too, then CS degree, then 30 years (this year) as a software developer. When are you planning to retire? :)

(A) How much you think it will actually cost. (B) How long you think it will actually take to build. (B) Whether you think it is a good idea, given (A) and (B)

Who is going to buy this and how many of them will be sold?

It's definitely the CO2 concentration. :) On the bright side, plants love CO2 and we've been able to feed the world at the current PPM. Of course, more feed means more people mean more CO2... So, your guess at a solution is as good as mine... :)

I think your math is off. If we assume pre-industrial levels of CO2 at 280 ppm, we've increased to 420 ppm. So, around 100 ppm. So, we have an increase of 420 ppm - 280 ppm = 140 ppm. If we are to increase from 280 ppm to 1000 pm, that would be 720 ppm increase, of which we have increased 140 ppm. So, we are about 140/720 = 0.19 (or 19%) of the way to 1000 pmm of human increase in the CO2 level. So, 1/5 of the way there, not 1/3.

When it actually deals with commerce?

Interesting title though.

Someone is posting, but it isn't him.

...or, you could fill up the vehicle with batteries, and have it pull a trailer. If that isn't enough, you could fill the trailer with batteries and add another trailer. "Turtles all the way down"

Just for some perspective.
