Grass works better than trees. In parts of Arizona, the county would pay people to cut their trees down because originally an area was grassland. Overgrazing by sheep in the late 1800's allowed trees to grow and those were nt as effective as grass on stopping erosion.
You can buy solar panels at $0.29/wp right now at retail. That's $0.03 more expensive than hydroelectric (all things considered) and the price is still coming down.
If you have a farm, you can grow all of your own food, reducing the need for an external job and the car ride to job. You don't need any special tanks to run the occasional farm implement of destruction device.
You would not need nuclear weapons to flatten nk or iran and probably wouldn't be used to avoid political repercussions. That would doubly turn world opinion against whatever country initiated a nuclear attack.
All-out conventional slugfests are a lot of fun (as long as you are not the one being slugged at any given time). Have you ever noticed the rate of technological advances that occurred in WWII? The world went from fabric covered biplanes to pressurized metal intercontinental aircraft and from rocket cars to rockets in space in just a 16 years.
I say this as someone who studied nuclear physics in college and worked at los alamos: There is nothing magical about nuclear. It's just a tool. A person dying in a nuclear blast is no more or less dead than one dying from a carpet bombing, regular bombing or food poisoning. Burns are burns and maiming is maiming if you don't die. Some are worse than others. As someone once said in a movie, the only winning move is not to play the game. Before nuclear weapons it was possible to win a war by playing the game
The US had a five year monopoly of nuclear weapons and did nothing. On top of that they were on top of the world in military production capabilities while most of the rest of the industrialized world was in ruin and yet they still did nothing. So you have to agree that they were pretty stupid for not conquering the world at that point, huh?
Not that rare in my experience (and I'm one of them, mostly because I know how). And small, limited run experiments is not the same thing as being tried in thee real world.
Live decently is very subjective. Take a person making a billion $/yr and give them a million a year instead and see if they think the are living decently.

This happens to non-muslims too. White teenage girls from MIT.
./ has collective paranoid schizophrenia. The whole social media industrial complex from what little I've seen.

If your 8hr/day plant is 4x less expensive than your 24hr/day plant, you come out ahead.

What's your position on Bayer and BASF?

tape-out time starts to loom...
I've been there :) Still not as bad as first FAA cert flight.
Wasn't he the guy who argued for sweatshops?
What do you do if it doesn't? History shows that things don't work out the way they are envisioned.
Hipocrite is as hipocrite does.
Sweden couldn't pass a basic income.
Social security pays $28,000/year, so triple that 16.6%. Unless you cut SS beneficiaries. Then how are you going to pass it?
That's right! There are over 200 billionaires in China now thanks to communism.
the last, desperate attempt
If history is any lesson, they'll never give up.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
