Yet as of now people migrate to warmer climes, given the choice. Boo hoo.

Are underfed people primarily short of calories, trace elements, vitamins, protein, fiber or what? Whatever the answer is, concentrate on that. This study ignores the actual issue and waah waahs on about dilution.

Not too sure where you are getting your costs from, car companies don't pay the retail price for parts. Typically a basic car sells for about twice its part cost, but all those boxes you tick have a 400% markup.

Be careful what you wish for. When the Australian car industry shut down the suppliers shut down. The toolmakers shut down. The heavy aircraft maintenance industry shut down (they relied on those toolmakers, but didn't have enough volume to make them viable). Every developing country that doesn't have an auto industry wants one, and every country that has one defends it legally or illegally. But yeah, roll that free market die and see how it goes. FAFO for real.

I'm not sure how stupid Sony is but pissing your customers off seems a strange strategy.

The idea I think is an Ipad mini that you can stuff in your pocket. Seems like a good idea

2017?

Long distance a/c will tend to use cryo, to improve the energy volumetric efficiency (which is much worse than kerosene etc).

Solar has a capacity factor of about 15%, nuclear or coal (when used properly) has about 90%. So 1 GW of nuclear or coal is equivalent to 6 GW of solar.

Despite the puffery the vast proportion of global energy sources (77%) are fossil fuels, In Australia it is 91%. Oil is the biggest in both cases.

Correct, offshore wind energy is far more expensive than onshore wind, although it does have a slightly higher capacity factor. Floating offshore wind is a factor of two (at least) more expensive again.
