I’m shaking with excitement!

Amusingly, with North Korea providing munitions to Russia and Korea providing munitions to Ukraine, it’s now a proxy Korean War, which never ended.

The US would be able to spend more on the military with all the money saved on socialised medicine. Private medicine is about corporations taking a cut, not saving govt money.

Russia barely has the logistics capability to defeat a country right next door.

Ignoring the fact the Brazil has a defensive treaty with the US, how exactly is Russia going to do an amphibious invasion?

This is all ignoring that the first thing Russia would do is turn on itself once Putin was out of the picture.

This is a nice sentiment that I agree with as a sentiment, but it’s not realistic.

If it takes the equivalent of 1ton of carbon emissions to capture 1ton of carbon emissions, you are literally going nowhere compared to just replacing fossil fuels.

So this technology needs to be extremely efficient, otherwise the amount of extra energy generation we need - on top of what we already have, renewable or not - becomes astronomical. So far it does not look anywhere close to being sufficiently efficient.

There’s no way this will ever be economical at the scale we need to fix what we’ve done.
