Someone just posted the actual budget which is around 1.3 trillion because that number of 782 doesn't account for their "awards" which is contract work they dish out. According to their own website their budget is 1.3 trillion

Data is clearly cherry picked

I'll see myself out

US had a military budget of $1640 billion, just for 2022..!

Fun fact, now is the cherry's season and you can hardly seen then on stores or in the market, everything goes abroad, we only se the rejected ugly fruit (still tasty and good).

I don't see your criticism of the y axis, looks linear to me. I see little reason why the top graph and bottom graph must have the same scale.

On the other hand, this graph doesn't show what the title says it shows, and it is devoid of context: surely research on solar and wind count as "cost of zero carbon". Surely so also does research into emission reduction. And surely the cost of zero carbon is far less than the cost of not reaching zero carbon.

Stared at this for 3 min and now my head hurt

Less percentage increase in renewable from 90 to 2020 I think, mainly because California has been using wind turbines since late 80s or maybe before that

Was he though? they already had the idea, the contacts, the prototype, the lithium battery expertise. They brought him in to help with funding and he decided he would put in his money and take over the company and force them out. He complained that they set up the production line for the 3 wrong and almost caused bankruptcy, but that was after he forced them out. He set up a horrible process then wants everyone to congratulate him for fixing the mess he created.

Looks like retail aren’t the only ones making it out of the red during the holiday seasons.

"Fuck you Italy! Eat a dick Uzbekistan. There's a new Cherry Bronze medalist in town, bitches!"

No. Musk wasn't necessary. But he was helpful. He was a little like Harold Hill in "The Music Man."

Why would you colour negative as green a s positive as red?

We use gravity to store and generate energy all the time.

Perpetual motion and fusion aren’t really comparable. One we know is impossible and the other we know exists. It’s like comparing cats and unicorns.

We did the same, and it's so satisfying seeing the results.

In September we removed the drywall and added insulation and a vapour barrier as well as new energy-efficient windows. Before September we ran a dehumidifier (otherwise humidity was around 70%), and since the renovation we didn't have to use the dehumidifier at all.

Humidity went from >10g/m^3 to around 5g/m^3.

Italy is like “We got some cherries. You want some? They are over there.”

I bet Musk would take $35Bil for Twitter right now, lol.

Pretty similar to the western US (particularly California and Arizona) growing the water heavy crops mostly for export (to China). In particular almonds and alfalfa stand out as crops primarily grown for export but are extremely water intensive.

The western US has been in a similar drought to Chile for the past few years (its second major drought in the last decade, though it’s all probably one big drought). Have to imagine they are related.

Yeah gravity works there, too, and people have spent countless hours trying to use it to make perpetual motion machines to create green energy. But we wouldn't be celebrating a graph of that.

I'm just pointing out the difference in spending money on procuring a known source of energy vs research on a potential one. They're really apples and oranges.

It won't. It will be much jaggier.

Honestly if you told me it was gonna take 200 years to figure out, I’d still probably say it’s worth it from a long term planning perspective.

Basically anything with a side of two tacos!

Interesting, according to my dehumidifier my house varies between 70 and 50% so guess I need to look into it (I am in Scotland though so there's that)

It'd buy you 1.5% of Apple, though.

You couldn't even buy Twitter with that.
