Top-level
 @karolherbst @empressEvora @ShadowJonathan I soncerely doubt we'll see that hapoen at all - not even talking about our lifetimes. Now Nuclear Fusion might ne a totally new level, cuz the first to master this technology will basically be able to make as much energy as they want as cheap as they want, thus control the world... 7 comments
@karolherbst @empressEvora @ShadowJonathan OFC that is ture, which is why I propose to harness the amount of energy that is inefitably hitting the planet instead of excess thermal output. Cuz that'll be more efficient and get us close to that desired amount... @empressEvora @karolherbst @ShadowJonathan that assumes state and corporations are completely seperate entities and not run by people - if not the same people. THAT WAS NEVER THE CASE! Far from it... @empressEvora @karolherbst @ShadowJonathan The @EU_Commission doesn't even try to exert control over the #EU's #IT... I do agree in that #infrastructure like #energy, #transportation and #distribution grids should be owned by the public, and whether that's a state-owned enterprise, a ministry, a cooperative or whatever is more of a tool discussion. @kkarhan @karolherbst @ShadowJonathan harvesting sun rays leaves a lot on the table to never be recovered though. I would argue that allowing the sun to feed plants which can then be used to produce biofuels is a way to improve power density and reduce loss/waste. Plus a real farm is a lot nicer to look at then a solar farm.

@kkarhan @empressEvora @ShadowJonathan nuclear fusion has the same problem in terms of energy balance.
It converts energy stored in atoms into thermal and kinetic energy (directly or indirectly through electricity consumers)
It's all fine to use it, but we also have to make sure our energy balance stays below 0 until we manage to cool down earth enough.
