Two things:

  1. This is the future and that means we can change it today. In this case with new better laws
  2. Falling emissions means weaker fossil fuel industry and stronger green industry. Hence lobbying can be turned around.

If we did not raise chicken, we would have more wilderness supporting other animals.

An initially Russian company, which moved to Dubai, which is most popular by all sorts of right wing Russian propagandists and used by the Russian military. Chances are pretty good that it is controlled by Russia at this point.

If you want a better alternative try Signal or XMPP.

Ground effect vehicles need less energy then planes for similar speeds. The problem is that they are fast and handle badly. So you need large flat areas, which basically means large bodies of water. On land we have high speed rail anyway. So a vehicle like this, probably larger, would be good for connections between Dublin - Liverpool or Busan - Fukoka, which connect islands to the mainland.

Actually not at all. 12 Trillion over 7 years means 1.7Trillion added to global annual GDP. The global economy has a GDP of a bit over 100 Trillion. So we are talking adding 1.7% growth and then stagnation. For the most part global GDP has grown by about 3%. So we are talking a low year in terms of GDP growth and then no growth at all.

As for the UN SDG part of them is to meet the most basic material needs of everybody. When poor people get money, they spend it. That is just logical, when you need food and have money, buying food makes perfect sense. At the same time better education also helps the economy a lot. Long term that would stop global population growth a lot faster and be a net positive the everybody. The other part is that renewables require a lot of investment as well, which also naturally grows GDP.

Not the case right now. Looking at the poles it is nearly 50:50 between Trump and Harris right now, with the momentum on Harris site.

This is really it. We already have most of the technology and at a price point, where it is either already cheaper then fossil fuels or not that much more expensive. The more those technologies are adopted, the less fossil fuels are being sold. A lot of people underestimate how much money building pipelines, refineries, power plants, oil rigs and so forth costs. So pretty small changes in fossil fuel consumption can destroy the massive profit margin of those companies. Even worse once those structural changes are made, we are truly over peak fossil fuel. Obviously this has to be global, but just look at what happened with Covid and you can see the massive impact these changes can have for the fossil fuel industry.

Probably he was thinking of something like a Twike.

I would question the engineers behind an egg shaped train car as well.

Die Leitungen können 2GW Strom pro Leitung transportieren. Das sollte also zusammen mit SüdLink und SüdOstLink viele Engpassprobleme im jetztigen Stromnetz lösen.

Außerdem super spannend, dass dies auch ein Netz wird und nicht nur einzelne Leitungen sind.
