But there will be leaps in manufacturing where one could take a idea straight from their mind to a physical object with 3D printing

Or test it out with AI

Everything is better in the conceptual phase.

@busillis energy production long term would achieve neutrality , plus we will shift back to nuclear anyways

Before 2016 the next youngest reactor is 40 years old.

We will make new ones

We will harness the waves and winds more efficiently

Use geo thermal energy

tidal/wind/solar is the future

and thermal yeah

Solar is still viable

James is not thinking more broadly about resource allocation and war, sadly.

Unless cars become solar, resources are much more limited than petroleum. But if I were Exxon I would definitely be investing in a large team to figure that out before anyone else

theres already war with china and globalism, its just baby steps, frog in the pot long term low intensity war

If California can't deliver power to homes without blackouts and other issues, how will they be able to supply power to automobiles without a serious system upgrade?

This isn't even mentioning the fact that when cars run on electricity it's going to electricity dramatically is more demand will be put on the system.

every home should be self reliant, its silly

Are you smoking crack...

Do you know how many solar cells it takes to charge a Tesla.

Tell that to Africa

In the best of conditions.

oh lord

the making of the solar panels uses more energy than they create often, from what ive read

All of these things sound great until you actually start crunching numbers, then it not so much

Exactly... They don't even return the energy input.

So it's a total loser.

Why are we forgetting nuclear

How well the solar cells work in North Dakota in the winter?

Oh man... Please tell me this is a setup for a Trump v Palin showdown in 2024:

Because nuclear takes more energy to build the reactor than you ever get out of it.

Innovation is always possible with smart teams on the cutting edge. Unfortunately these billionaires are just rolling congress...for what??

Yeah these aren't profitable ventures unless heavily subsidized...

nuclear is a time bomb waiting to go off, look at fukushima.. or think of the waste it creates for generations, better tech can solve alot but its a hell of a way to boil water

Without the subsidy they make no financial sense.

That to..

@busillis who said this would be private

What.

Nuclear is safe

Are you guys aware of what happened during the Carrington event?
