solar panels have mass - they need a certain amount of material, there is volume & weight in the shipping, and the labour & hardware to get them mounted is significant. These costs aren't going anywhere.
Wind farms - yeah, see above.

Moore's law. Lol

I would have thought USA has much more pressing issues to put money into rather than "magical AI solves all" money dumps.
Like building more nuclear power, building more manufacturing inhouse rather than in China etc.

The people receiving the UBI are not many, and not enough to affect how things work in their area - so the individual in the study is better off with UBI

If everyone got UBI, then everything would change and the UBI money would disappear into higher costs for food/rates/housing costs/premiums etc.

In NZ for 2023 we had a net migration increase of 127,400 - that's a 2.54% increase.

Yeah we have a housing crisis too.

Lib-tard immigration policies are crippling the west.

Sounds absurd. I'm sure that whatever it actually is, it's BS.

Just build nuclear - clean. done.

Imagine smart grids/homes on a large enough scale, then imagine a hacker enabling or disabling the large smart loads all at once.
I assume this would create damage/problems.

Other way round - there's no reason at home or with small office servers to have HDD. There are many good reasons to not have HDD

Thanks for pointing that out - it was my first question after reading the summary.

Emissions still not reducing

Putting a charger in is not the problem.

Work out how much power is required to power a suburb's car fleet - then add that draw to the current suburb's power usage and see if the suburb supply lines can do it... then see if there is enough power generation in that country/state to do that for all vehicles.

I think basic math will show that it is impossible with current infrastructure... everywhere.

So you don't draw any correlation between current western eating habits & sedentary lifestyle and westerners being fatter than everyone else by a lot?

sounds like denial

Americans sit around and eat too much. That is why they are fat.

There weren't any fat people in pictures from WW2 concentration camps.

Log your food intake - keep reducing your daily intake till the scales change direction

This is like the local roading company wanting payments from Toyota because the local residents choose to drive Toyotas.

That their spam emails get classified as spam. :eye-roll:

Russia needs to sort itself out and remove its dictator/elites

Curbing forms of communication for the general populace will probably slow that process down.

You think the average African has asperations of continuing to live they way they currently do?

CO2 output per capita is currently more to do with where people live, if they live in the west, they live a western lifestyle and have a large environmental impact. If they live in a 3rd world country, they want to live the western lifestyle and their whole area slowly moves in that direction.

Every immigrant from a 3rd world country to western world lifestyle increases environmental impact, it also creates more space for another person in that 3rd world country
