For dual use, I’m particularly partial to the solar fence

The comparison commodity was Gas. Does something that can only be consumed once even have a lifetime?

The underground suggestion was only to counter the argument of space usage.

Using the remaining 99% of the cost to bury batteries underground would seem reasonable.

electricity still costs 0.30€/kWh average because of fossil fuel energy lobbies.

This is the price of guaranteed electricity delivered to your doorstep. We can’t get rid of gas fired power stations and kms of electricity grid network yet.

At least those items you only need to buy once.

So did he

And ultimately just used to heat water.

Geothermal?

Ponder and his fellow students watched Hex carefully. ‘It can’t just, you know, stop,’ said Adrian ‘Mad Drongo’ Tumipseed. ‘The ants are just standing still,’ said Ponder. He sighed. ‘All right, put the wretched thing back.’ Adrian carefully replaced the small fluffy teddy bear above Hex’s keyboard. Things immediately began to whirr. The ants started to trot again. The mouse squeaked. They’d tried this three times.

Ponder looked again at the single sentence Hex had written. +++ Mine! Waaaah +++ ‘I don’t actually think,’ he said, gloomily, ‘that I want to tell the Archchancellor that this machine stops working if we take its fluffy teddy bear away. I just don’t think I want to live in that kind of world.’ ‘Er,’ said Mad Drongo, 'you could always, you know, sort of say it needs to work with the FTB enabled… ‘You think that’s better?’ said Ponder, reluctantly. It wasn’t as if it was even a very realistic interpretation of a bear. ‘You mean, better than “fluffy teddy bear”?’ Ponder nodded. ‘It’s better,’ he said.

They are putting RFK Jr in charge of key public health industries,

One positive is that he doesn’t seem to be influenced by corporate lobbying.

I thought he was called Master Bates?

Academic research is the standard that should be aimed for. References and no opinions.

Yes, it is possible to fact check with integrity. Not like this example.

Opinions should not enter into fact checking as opinions are not fact.

In this case the job of these people is clearly to perform damage limitation for the WEF

This is why fact checks are bullshit. Reuters admits that

a WEF social media video from 2016 that stated eight predictions about the world in 2030, including: “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. What you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”

Now to make the statement false they bring in a strawman “Stated goal” condition and prove that particular part to be false, then claim that makes the whole thing false.

Such bullshit.

I vote John von Neumann for tech savant.

Yes, there are a lot of better things we could be spending the enormous military budget on.

I chose NASA because it’s the closest to military spending while still being peaceful.

The military budget is 36x bigger than NASA.

Mars could be the 51st state if the US were not so war hungry.
