Comment Re:"End war"? (Score 1) 143

If energy is cheap and plentiful, things like clean water and fuel are a lot easier to make.

Depends on how clean the energy source is.

Arable land is also less of a problem when cheap energy can be used to make fertilizer.

Arable land is less of a problem though there is a finite amount of it and not all of it can be used no matter how much energy you have. Access to fresh water remains a problem which is somewhat alleviated by energy availability. Excess use of fertilizers are a problem all their own. Petroleum based fertilizers (which most are) are a serious pollutant and no amount of cheap energy will make them less of one. Like fossil fuels used to power equipment they have a big upside but at a serious environmental cost.

In any case the point is that we fight over MUCH sillier things than the very real concerns of scarce energy resource.

We dont have the ability to build more Saturn V rockets. Honestly as a species, we are lucky more than we are smart. We need a modern day Von Braun, and we need the morons at nasa to find all the designs information for all the rockets to date and share them with everyone so we can build upon the past instead of having to rev invent it all because of some dim witted republicans that think the plans will hell the terrorists.

Yes actually.

Currently most casinos have 1080P 120fps broadcast quality security cameras on the tables. They can see the slightest thing and zoom in to check the sex on the fly that just landed.

They also have cameras UNDER the table edge watching you if you try to hand off something to someone sitting next to you.
