Sustained Fusion is probably our best bet

2019-01-26 18:34:17 UTC  

we really need to figure out how to harness fusion

2019-01-26 18:34:17 UTC  

Fusion is still the best option conceptually but very hard to achieve

2019-01-26 18:34:22 UTC  

But we can't get it yet

2019-01-26 18:34:35 UTC  

reactors are good for research but not a whole lot better. Only way for viability is fusion

2019-01-26 18:34:43 UTC  

yea exactly

2019-01-26 18:34:56 UTC  

hey the sun can do it

2019-01-26 18:35:00 UTC  

There's an outfit in my neck of the woods who's trying to achieve fusion

2019-01-26 18:35:01 UTC  

we just need to be bigger

2019-01-26 18:35:04 UTC  

like nigga

2019-01-26 18:35:08 UTC  

just put on weight

2019-01-26 18:35:08 UTC  

Lol just stick shit together

2019-01-26 18:35:15 UTC  

Biofuels are fine too

2019-01-26 18:35:20 UTC  

yeah

2019-01-26 18:35:25 UTC  

nice little recycle stuff

2019-01-26 18:35:26 UTC  

You can grow biofuel

2019-01-26 18:35:33 UTC  

👌

2019-01-26 18:35:44 UTC  

Oil companies just heavily lobby against it

2019-01-26 18:35:50 UTC  

yup

2019-01-26 18:35:58 UTC  

Hydro can also be used to supplement

2019-01-26 18:36:05 UTC  

I mean biofuel is like a stage before oil

2019-01-26 18:36:17 UTC  

Just not as effective as others

2019-01-26 18:36:20 UTC  

we get that shit from plants, just old ones

2019-01-26 18:36:25 UTC  

I’m sure it doesn’t take much conversion to make a standard petrol car run on methanol

2019-01-26 18:36:33 UTC  

it doesnt

2019-01-26 18:36:36 UTC  

afaik

2019-01-26 18:36:58 UTC  

hell I think there's some cities on the west coast that use it

2019-01-26 18:37:24 UTC  

With bio fuels you have to becareful that the power you're getting out of it is less than the power it's taking to grow them

2019-01-26 18:37:38 UTC  

of course

2019-01-26 18:37:38 UTC  

IE lights if indoors, temp control, harvesters

2019-01-26 18:37:41 UTC  

that's all fuels

2019-01-26 18:37:57 UTC  

you need more than you put into it

2019-01-26 18:38:02 UTC  

or at least equal

2019-01-26 18:38:23 UTC  

power generation is inherently flawed like that

2019-01-26 18:38:36 UTC  

I think like what 50% efficiency is impossible?

2019-01-26 18:38:55 UTC  

we're just using limited resources

2019-01-26 18:39:02 UTC  

not really much we can do to change that

2019-01-26 18:39:05 UTC  

besides find more

2019-01-26 18:39:34 UTC  

we need to develop lv4 reactor tech that eats other reactors spent fuel

2019-01-26 18:39:48 UTC  

lmk when you find one

2019-01-26 18:41:04 UTC  

sidenote: Pearson is absolute shite
