no, the biggest vertical bored holes are a few meters wide and less than half a kilometer deep... and generally made between layers of a mine, stuff and space already at the lower end! See "raisebore" and other reaming methods.

This reactor idea is bullshit.

we already have public transportation in the #3 city/metro area here, why would it need to be "walkable"? I'm not carrying 50+ pounds of crap anywhere, infrastructute and buildings won't be moved and created just because of your romantic notions. Juvenile delusions.

you're funny equating intermittent energy with a stable base load source. When the wind doesn't blow or when it's night, you'll need something pricier

What are you imagining? Please explain for example where your NYC to Chicago high speed rail will be as it comes into the geater Chicago area in NW Indiana and southern Chicago suburbs?

where would the land for that come from? Going around great lakes and through mountains are occupied routes. Are you going to push homes out of the way, bore through mountains? You can but it's expensive!

No, it did not stop infection. Absolutely false. Where did you get that idea?

Vaccinated got infected and even had high viral loads

But the massive difference is the vaccinated had much better outcomes, much better chance of avoiding severe symptoms, death, maiming.

So we just need a properly measured amount of nuclear winter; nuclear winter lite (TM), got it.

Good news, we have centuries of supply for such a thing.

I can confirm over longer time periods it feels so good when I stop.

nice fiction, AC. Never happened.

A coworker was bragging to us how even in elementrary school he and his friends would "take a girl behind the bushes" with multiple targets. Look that phrase up. Maybe parents don't want their kids subjected to thugs, gangsters, rapists, thieves, junkies in training. "Protection from the world" you mock, yet we have armed forces and police.

But you're talking to people taking the time to homeschool, not those dumping kids into a public babysitying service . They care more about their kids than that.

You left out getting crimes committed against them by gang members and other thugs of a lowlife subculture. Add to that the mentally ill with access to weapons. Savages are dangerous.

you've described what our big cities have with public education.

There are great public schools but there are too many farce ones, especially in the biggest cities. The quality as measured by tests shows the USA falling in rank over decades, strangley coinciding with the establishment of the Dept of Education.

that is called lying and hurt the cause of convincing people to get vaccinated. better outcome was the only reason to get vaccination, transmission and infection happened to the vaccinated.
