I had to look that up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Secunda CTL is a synthetic fuel plant owned by Sasol at Secunda, Mpumalanga in South Africa. It uses coal liquefaction to produce petroleum-like synthetic crude oil from coal. The process used by Sasol is based on the Fischer–Tropsch process. It is the largest coal liquefaction plant and the largest single emitter of greenhouse gas in the world.

I agree. I'm in the US, and my central air/heating became unreliable, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I came to rely on space heater(s), and two window mount, inexpensive AC units. My electricity bill went way down, and I am comfortable enough. When I go into other rooms, it is a mild discomfort, and I think that is what other people want to avoid, a mild discomfort.

I don't think that Amazon could deliver the regular mail at a profit, however, most of that regular mail should be moved to a digital format, imho. Perhaps Amazon could subsidize a cheap tablet, and satellite internet service in the future. It is not a bad idea. It is a little 'scary' to have a private, for-profit company provide an essential service like that, but.... makes sense to me at the moment.

I really do not believe you. Musk is spending his time tweeting and taking drugs. That is obvious. You seem like a PR person. Mush is also spending his time taking down the USA, the "deep state". Professionals who take care of National Parks, and who makes vaccines in order to keep Americans Healthy.
