It's overdue for a flip. It would be cool/crazy to see that in our lifetime. I mean, except for the possible increase in cancer rates and the messed up animal migrations.

Could also be climate change and agriculture shifting the mass of the Earth by draining aquifers and melting glaciers.

Daimler attacks Tesla trucks, noting they need scale just to consider building a truck.

1. The scale is already there. Take your basic power train times four. Then the battery times four to eight.

2. Throw a bunch of sheet metal and wheels around it.

3. Done One state of the art truck

4. Add dedicated truck chargers

Model 3 drive units power the roadster, the Y, the Semi, the pickup, and more than likely the next vehicle. I would not be surprised to see them in the S and X, or more likely the next gen 3 drive unit.

I would like TSLA to roll out more than one vehicle at a time, like a real car company. That is the only criticism. That said, they are doing something not done in 100 years. Start a new car company.

Here is how this works.

Go to first principles on a clean sheet.

Work refining your drive units for 12 years, constantly improving the product.

Apply what you learned to the motor vehicle industry.

Daimler is scared, they cannot meet let alone exceed Tesla specs. Famously at Daimler, they think TSLA defies the laws of physics.

National Geographic: Antarctica's ice is melting, but the scariest prediction for the future may be on hold.
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/envi ... -less-bad/

10-16 inches increase in sea level by 2100.

While I will be gone by 2060, sea level will continue to rise.

The new prediction is a foot. That is a conservative estimate in a field that just keeps going UP.

melting on this scale is a big guess.

If Thwaites goes that is 10 feet.

There are volcanoes involved in this area. The second densest congregation of volcanos on the planet. June 2018 confirmed this. See nature.

Global warming is sinking ALL coasts.

Volcanoes will take care of MOST MAJOR CITIES, if they continue to warm the ice from below.

Right now the ice is on simmer. Turning up the heat would be an entirely different set of circumstances.

( And you thought I was going to say kettle of fish)

https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/tools/slr

HINT, they would not have included TEN FEET of sea level rise in this NOAA Model just to SCARE PEOPLE.

You can adjust sea level rise prn.

WARNING: a foot of sea level rise is extremely serious. See the NOAA app.

Musk out engineers the world of rocketry again.

Everything Musk did in Rocketry was considered previously.

In regards to this raptor engine the technology had approached the doorstep of the technology now being used on the Raptor engine.

Musk force of will funded the last steps, six years of research, and now apparently they have the most efficient rocket engine ever produced.

The article is a bit technical.

I was just reminded Philly Chuck almost had SF, convinced Antarctica was not melting say 6-10 years ago.

That notion has gone the way of the wicked witch of the north.

I thought he believed that the warming was natural and not due to human activity. That's different than saying it isn't warming. We are, in fact, still coming out of the last ice age, so some of this is natural. What's not natural is the speed it's happening. Just gotta hope we don't end up with another Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum.

What if absent human activity we would be heading for crazy high global temperatures anyway? Do we have the technological capability and capacity to counteract it in a meaningful way?

by **Monkeyboy** » Fri Feb 22, 2019 22:58:48

we would need to find a way to capture lots and lots of carbon. I think there are ways to do that while doing other beneficial things at the same time, but it would be very expensive and it would mean sacrifice. I use a book in my climate change unit called Drawdown. It offers dozens of ways to reduce carbon output and capture carbon (great book, one of my favorites because of the way it's laid out). I don't know that we have the financial capacity or the collective will to do most of them, but we could do a lot to help the carbon problem -- biochar, increasing the health of wetlands and steppe, replanting forests, etc.

We could do some crazy stuff like build a shield in space to block some of the sunlight or release sulfur into the upper atmosphere, but I think those options are a bit too intrusive.

Yes carbon capture is real. Its been going on in Norway for some time. It is also used to pressure oil Wells.

Look up CCS - There are 17 ongoing projects dating to 1972.

We just have to start ramping up the CCS.

The social costs of energy generation will now be charged to the end user.

That will make electric car use standard, along with mostly solar power stored in batteries for night use.

Of course, in France, Russia lit a fuse on the opposition to this practice. The fire is still burning out of control.

by **joboggi** » Sat Feb 23, 2019 06:58:40

Make no mistake, the faster we change to electric and solar, the less expensive this will be.

Carbon Capture and long term storage is expensive.

If fleet fuel consumption was raised high enough, the car companies would be selling all BEVs in just a few years.

Set the bar at 100 miles to an equivalent gallon of gas and that will do it.

Now we just have to figure out what to do with all this cow gas.

You guys are missing the point of Phat's question. What *IF* we had zero carbon emissions today and the part of the planet's lifecycle is now at the other end of the swing from the ice age? Is there anything people could do? OK, the 'solar shield' part of one answer is in line with the question.

And coal is organic!

Plastic is organic!

Let's make plastic and coal part of an organic diet.

Anything made of carbon is organic.

Everything else is inorganic.

This has nothing to do with organic farming, especially since all of our food is organic, regardless of it's growing process.

Really

Room temperature superconductor

On a scale of 1 to 100, this rates at 1000.

This changes every single device of any note, if they wish or need for it to change.

No electrical resistance at room temperature.

Wow

Note, this has yet to be verified outside the Navy.

Interstellar

Interstellar dimensional dreaming leads to Inception

Inception is the thought vibration that the consciousness manifests itself in waking illusions

String Theory

String Theory is what matters

Inception vibrates matter to Interstellar fields of energy, wave propagation spreads the theory, the signal reverberates back to the source

Us

we are the the source of the creation

All of it doesn't matter unless we make it matter
