you are a tremendous faggot
but this is a troll thread
5/10

>>1395021
eeh, not really how it works.
mostly because nobody knows exactly how the thing would/will function. can you even interact with it? Does it exert gravitational pull on its surroundings? can you isolate it from its constituent parts?

>>1392898
what?
there are plenty of places where some green organization donated a village some piece of shit solar panel, only enough to run a fridge to keep antibiotics, nothing more

>>1392882
well, they aren't cost effective. but the 13-17% efficient ones kind of are.

the problem is this notion to "make africa green" and force solar bullshit on them instead of, say, nuclear power or just fucking GAS GENERATORS

>>1392878
i was more talking about the fact that it's just a low resistance rotation generator
never a really good power source
which is why wind power, sadly, isn't useful beyond isolated stations or something

>>1392853
oh shit i've seen those! is suspect the actual power is negligible but it's a neat idea

cable needs to be some serious steel hardware

balloon would need to be very strong and large

fan blades would need to be suspended on the cable with very low friction ball bearings so it can face the wind.

it's pretty dangerous overall, but it might work for out-to-sea stuff. interesting idea OP

actually, there were some INCREDIBLE empires of ancient africa, the malians were pretty good in their own right.

the problem is the recent string of asshole warlords stomping on everyone, and nobody cares.

make a cheap mass-distributable AIDS cure, and a cheap mass-distributable power source/satellite dish for small villages and you're on your way to a haflway decent country.

i want to see africa say "fuck this bullshit" and break into the industrialized scene with all the fury of a fucking typhoon.

and maybe then blacks kids in america will stop being niggers

>I'm talking about the actual photos of each UFO and how they are physically similar.
yeah!
BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING FAKE

>>1370214
>flying saucer crap gets started in the 40s
>everyone knows about the ufo bullshit
>people see things they can not identify (high flying plane, space debris flashing as it tumbles, ect)
>it's aliens!
>they were grey! with slanted eyes! oh my god!
>COINCIDENTALLY ALL THE SAME STORY HHMMMMMMMMMM

>>1369726
NO
FUCK YOU
LENR IS ACTUAL SCIENCE
NO NOT SHIT IT UP BY SLAMMING IT IN THIS THREAD

i keep seeing this

is it safe to assume the "facts" claimed by this article (seabed rise, fissures) is utter bullshit?

>>1338694
best explanation of it yet

>>1325020
>and many nuclear power plants are habitats for protected plant and animal species

oh hey, that's a good idea
set up the plants in or near nature preserves. the plant's footprint is not that big, and doesn't really need an exclusion zone. all it needs is one road for inbound worker supplies and the outbound power lines, good deal!

>set up uranium recycling plants, put some government subsidies into it in order to get some upstarts to invest in the process (buy uranium from reactors who want to get rid of the shit, resell for major profit!)

and
>>1324899

>>1324920
HA!
have you seen the containment dome of a nuclear power plant?
fucking 4 feet
4 FEET
of steel mesh reinforced conctrete, and it's a SPHERE

a 747 would pancake on that thing, maybe a dent but nothing serious at all.

it's designed to retain a STEAM EXPLOSION from the INSIDE. planes aint shit

>>1324911
and?
it'd be just as easy for other countries, but upfront cost of the power plants might make some a bit worried.

>>1324886
or just use solution-sensitive polymers to recycle uranium in big vats for pennies an ounce. (dial up and down the pH, the polymers curl and uncurl, grabbing onto the still-good uranium, pure waste settles to the bottom or top of the tank to be skimmed by robots)

should be available in a few years at most

BETTER SOLUTION;

nuclear power plants near major cities, go ahead and start building them NOW (keep the stellar safety systems, three mile island was as bad as any US reactor can melt down and not even an iota of radioactive material escaped.)

set up uranium recycling plants, put some government subsidies into it in order to get some upstarts to invest in the process (buy uranium from reactors who want to get rid of the shit, resell for major profit!)

result;
most of the US is running off super safe power in 10 years, coal and gas are almost phased out, battery technology in cars catches up, allowing respectable range electrics or fuel cell cars. We can finally stop supporting middle-east oil barons

i blinked

right
because there is such a thing as an airborne chemical that, when sprayed over the ocean, starts killing people two years later several miles inland (??)

sounds like a retard to me

>>1320332
well honestly we do not know jack shit, why make assumptions one way or the other

>>1320284
that's like saying god has no beginning
aww crap, now you're christian! whops
