I wish LNG was that simple. Most of qatar LNG production comes from dedicated natural gas fields(the North field) but they also have quite a bit co-extracted with oil. That requires big facilities to compress it. Without them they’ll just flare it like they did in the past and dump the CO2 right into the atmosphere with no gain.
I do not I just can’t believe these neolibs are that fucking bold faced about it. Like I get sacrificing one manufacturing industry for another. That’s industrial policy, even if it’s often corrupt. But this is sacrificing a manufacturing industry for its owners. It’s just… stupid. The British crown subsidizing East India company adventuring level stupid.
Germany’s need to support the car industry, one of the country’s biggest employers, has made its approach to barriers to Chinese imports less black and white.
It voted against an EU decision to introduce tariffs on Chinese EVs in 2024 and this month was spared EU tariffs on imports of the Chinese-built Volkswagen Cupra Tavascan SUV in exchange for undertakings on the minimum price of the vehicle.
I’m having a hard time parsing this. It’s supporting the car industry offshoring as an economic boon for one of its biggest employers?
For sure. They were fine invalidating mine and everybody else’s Puerto Rican birth certificate but they’ll never put this sort of administrative burden in action.
They’d only go bankrupt if they were spending the capital to increase capacity and were left holding the bag. And nobody’s interested in doing that.
Fucking dp world. They self describe as end to end and are tied up with a sex pest. I couldn’t make this shit up.
You could always make stamina recovery potions for combat with basic food items and greatly increase your effectiveness. If you sprint everywhere and have zero stamina before a fight you won’t hit shit but potions or scrolls like argent glow can really change that.
Why walk when you can ride?
And even that hasn’t been too quiet since it’s election campaign season.
Discovery is a legal process where you obtain internal documents and depose employees to figure what what they’re actually doing.
YouTube explicitly has a service for children and I’m sure Facebook discovery would prove they explicitly market for children.
Oracle runs into the one thing investors hate to do in late stage capitalism: actually building capital intensive infrastructure. Sure this case is for nonsense, but it’s a rule across the board.
Nuke subs are a bad example for looking at waste because they use higher enriched uranium. And that creates big casks of depleted uranium hexafluoride that we just have no idea what to do with other than sitting them in fields and hoping they don’t leak.
I don’t think it’s worth abandoning fusion research. I just think we’re much farther than popsci ever portrays and I have serious problems with the no waste framing.
It’s not particularly long but it’s very much in Superfund abandonment territory when you look at the economics of that “recycling” of low grade radioactive waste. I mean look at how much higher the cost per target is in this presentation alone for internal confinement is based on their kilowatt hours with recycling included. And that’s not including the reprocessing and production costs of targets or the fact that rapid target replacement will just frankly break as high energy neutrons and ablation screw up internals.
It’s not a quote, just a reality for non-existent blanket recycling technology and dealing with neutron energies that far exceed anything fission produces in slow neutron reactors and the large amounts of waste created from spallation and tritium handling.

without leaving behind hazardous waste
By volume blanket reprocessing and neutron activated vessel components create more hazardous waste than fission could dream of (not including the nightmare of on site fuel reprocessing for breeders that are similarly pie in the sky)
The last one isn’t one that would generally disqualify you, more to catch you lying. There doesn’t exist people who would put more money in a vending machine because it’s a stupid idea and vending machines don’t work that way.
Ethical answers to that range from the utilitarian give it to someone hungry to the deontological leave it since it’s not yours. But putting more money into a malfunctioning vending machine is chaotic stupid on the ethical charts.
You guys aren’t quite as turnkey as, say, Japan. They’ve got reprocessing and rocket production from JAXA and really would have to just put together an implosion device.
