"Audiences expect influencers to be both creative and credible" credibility is not something I connect with Athletes, Entertainers or Influencers.

Ah yes, COP30 in Brazil. The climate conference that required the destruction of the Amazon rainforest to build a four-lane road to travel from the private planes to the conference. Amazing show of support for saving the planet. https://www.bbc.com/news/artic...

Find another hand, I am sure their are many organizations out there that insist on DEI. Have them fund the organization if that is more palatable Give up the virtue signaling and do code!

Multiple choice question? If that even enters your thought process, are you sure your own college experience wasn't high-school level?

Do you still print paper copies of your boarding pass?

Mathematicians had conjectured every convex polyhedron would have the Rupert property.

The sphere is not a polyhedron.

Wouldn't that same logic apply to the hundreds of years of coal the USA has? That it's stupid to waste that resource?

On what exactly? The high cost of offshore wind energy is well documented. Here's the AI summary:

Yes, offshore wind energy is currently more expensive than onshore wind energy and other power sources like natural gas, due to high costs for construction, installation, and maintenance. However, the costs are expected to decrease over time with technological advancements and a growing industry pipeline.

Cost comparison
Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE): The LCOE for offshore wind is higher than for onshore wind and some other sources like existing nuclear power.
Capital costs: Building an offshore wind farm is significantly more capital-intensive than an onshore one, with higher costs for foundations, towers, and grid connections.
Operation and maintenance: Offshore turbines have higher maintenance costs due to the harsh marine environment and the complex logistics of performing repairs at sea.

Factors contributing to the high cost
Complex construction: The logistics of building structures and installing turbines in the ocean are more complex and expensive than on land.
Harsh environment: Seawater causes corrosion and requires specialized equipment and procedures for maintenance, increasing operational costs.
Transportation and transmission: Transporting electricity from offshore farms to the shore requires expensive underwater cables.

Why it is still being developed
Higher capacity factor: Offshore wind farms generate power more consistently because of stronger and steadier winds, which can make them more efficient in the long run despite the high upfront costs.
Less land use conflict: Offshore wind has minimal impact on land and can be sited further from shore, which can lead to higher social acceptance.
Potential for lower costs: Costs are expected to fall as the industry matures and new technologies and economies of scale are realized.

Now that I think of it. The OpenAI sales people really did a job on these public servants. They not only got the School System to pay them. They will get all of the school systems data and profiles on everyone as a huge bonus. And many of the students coming out of the system will be in essence dysfunctional without a paid OpenAI account.

Wonder how much "Cal State's chief information officer" and the other corruptocrats were paid under the table.

Offshore windmills are very expensive to build and operate so they usually come with a guaranteed high price for the energy produced. They also piss off the locals so they get tied up in court for years, driving up the costs further. The rich liberals who live on Nantucket were really pissed off when a blade broke and the debris washed up on shore https://www.n-magazine.com/vin...

Nonsense. The opposition has taken the Trump administration to court repeatedly. They are suing over this too https://www.theguardian.com/us... but I doubt they will succeed. Your assertion that "This means that a shitload of electrical and supply that should be hitting the market right now" makes zero sense because these projects never started, the funding was cancelled recently, and the programs were a scam. Offshore wind only makes sense when they can charge a lot for the energy, so those weren't going to lower prices either. What's happening here is the terrible energy policies are taking their toll. Years of shutting down generation plants without creating adequate supply to replace them, coupled with rapidly increasing demand and a deficient supply grid, are creating rapid cost increases in parts of the country.
