you just can't isolate the entire grid from that type of ionization

the future energy system would make things much worse if there were such an effect

if that futyre energy system involved the ionssphere

@ManAnimal there would obviously be failsafes, it's not like we're going to discuss the entire system right now

you can't build a failsafe for an inductor

problem with what if things.. is that we have no proof the something outside of our control wont come by and eliminate everything in our solar system. Just takes one rouge star or planet to ram through.. Or we hit something like a drifting black hole.

it's called a load shunt

we have no way to prevent the bubble universe from popping @ManAnimal better just end it now

that is a bit hyperbolic

so is your argument

one is a function of electrical power distribution

the other is a function of uncertainty itself

most climate change is hyperbolic .. The earth is over due for another ice age..

no let's continue with @ManAnimal 's moot point

can't change the current through an inductor instantaneously

try to figure out how we can prepare for the hypothetical 10 years

physics

the volcanos naturally in the earth can do more damage than all of civilization if enough of them blow at once :3

again, confusing hyperbole with actual risk mitigation

risk mitigation is what drives the COSTS to prepare

all the changes youtube is making, it seems like its gonna be impossible for anyone to start a new channel on youtube

and at a certain point, such cost isn't worth it

@ManAnimal what would have to happen for the space energy

the hyperbolic example is WELL beyond that tippping point

@ShimShamWhamBam agree you-tube seems to be publisher now more than a platform

preparing the grid isn't

If the argument is for a more robust power grid I don't see why not to build one.

well, we'd have to have a means of receivng the energy, an inductive charger

i kinda wanna try what SFO and scrump where talking about and see how all these youtube fuck ups would effect a new channel

@ManAnimal which are already built

and that energy would have to be at a level that isn't harmful to people and equipment

if its wireless.. you could build Line of Sight transmition towers that go above things

only way i can see doing that is some type of relay chain which limits the distance between relay nodes

space energy is no different than nuclear, coal, renewable

we still need the infrastructure

true, a laser is also an alternative

laser doesn't generate the energy though, it uses it

focus the energy so it can be delivered to a specific receiver

the energy would be harvested in orbit and used to power the laser

ah yes, beam it down to the receivers

the beam would then be used as the prime mover to a generator on the surface
