I an amazed, 2021 nasa budget if the internet doesn't lie to me was 25b

Imho the money spent in both space and fusion is worthy but this gives an idea of how little is 35b adjusted for inflation spent in fusion spanning 68 years compared to another endeavours

one wonders what fusion would achieve if they did a Manhattan project of it or sacrifice money as they did like at the beginning of the space exploration and moon landings

I had to learn this the hard way. After my parents and I moved out of Seattle, it was weird not seeing them anywhere in Savannah.

If Tesla had reasonable shareholders, there would be a couple of lawsuits already

Life feeds on life feeds on life.

I wonder how much of this is department stores and offices using spotify for background music

This graph makes it impossible to discern the progression of goals over time for a specific player which is what it appears to be intending to showcase. If it was keyed by colour with a clear indicator when values overlap, this would be communicated.

Ohgod, so you're saying i'm a cannibal? That's mean.

> What you are showing here is probably a decline in average temperature.

While I agree relative humidity has its flaws, this isn't true. Assuming OP is in the northern hemisphere, temperature is indeed dropping. However, cold air stores less water, so the relative humidity for the same amount of water would go up, not down.

If OP is in the southern hemisphere, then I would question if what they are plotting is actually an improvement due to the remedial works or just a rise in temperature.

Could companies still have local monopolies the way America has for most utilities?

Nah. A plant eating another plant is like an animal eating another animal.

> higher energy density

Higher energy density per mass, but much much lower energy density per volume, which really matters if you're building a vehicle. There's only so much room inside an airplane for fuel tanks.

But regardless, whether it's gasoline or hydrogen, the point is that with enough free energy you can synthesize any fuel you need.

I mean, i guess i can share my stash of Sunlight with a plant. Not sure how the bong would fit. Also, isn't that cannibalism?

I hear Elon Musk is bidding $44 Trillion for it all

Sunlight. IT's what plants crave.

Water... you mean like from the toilet?

Liquid batteries also exist now. I know nothing about their volatility or efficiency, but they do exist.

Why though? Better make hydrogen, it has higher energy density and it’s use don’t create anything toxic.

You can't patent physics or fundamental forces of the universe. I like how corporate hate is so dominant in some minds it now extends to atomic particles. Neat.

Love how India always leads the non aligned

That’s clearly false. Since musk took over Twitter Tesla is down like 20% and the market is up

Carbon neutral is a very difficult word. Think of, for example, how much concrete you need for nuclear plants, and presumably for fusion plants too, once we have them.

We can just make biodiesel, that's easier. We already have transgenic algae that produce useful oil in high concentrations, and they don't need much more than water and sunlight.

Sure but Tesla and using lithium ion batteries for evs wasn’t his idea so musk wasn’t in any way necessary for that to happen

Came here to say this. I'm too lazy to look it up but I bet its like <1% of what was spent on US interstate highways over the same period.
