  1. Japan would obviously jump on off shore wind, now as most countries do that.
    For wind farms on the country side you don't need flat land btw.
    And solar panels imho should be in cities or over roads anyway and not on "useable land".

    You can do that by shielding them, or completely remote control the bots via wire.

    The genes reproduce, like you do.
    But that means you give them to your next generation.
    They don't spread.

    To spread you need a situation where every generation statistically produces more than 2 kids per parent. Or has other breeding habits like cheating.

    If genes simply would spread like you first implied, we had no black, yellow, white, what ever races but would all look the same.

    "malign" has not much to do with it anyway unless you die before you breed.

    In other words: the spreading of genes we see is basically only a population growth thing and not a wandering of genes from one group of persons to other groups or an long term "distribution" over the whole population

    The argumentation is wrong.
    And the Universities will likely change their argumentation to "There is no waiver".
    Some students pay the full price in money, the other students pay a part in money and a part in work (because that is what they are actually doing right now).

    Getting a good/service cheaper than it "should be" can not be income. That is nonsense. That would set me worse than not buying the good/service in the first place and keep my money.

    Well, plenty of countries are to flat, so there is no room inland.
    I doubt we get world wide starvations or 80% population loss.
    Sooner or later other countries will let refugees in, but the transition phases will be war times.

    Inbreeding is only objectively dangerous when the involved parties have a gene defect.
    If both have no gene defect there is no difference to ordinary breeding.

    And if in ordinary breeding one has a gene defect, there is no difference to inbreeding with a gene defect.

    Your genes don't know if the mate you mated is a relative or someone far away from being a relative.

  23. As I understand it the largest source, as far as the ground water is concerned anyway, is tritium.

    To (1) dumb to look on a map and not informed about (2) technology that is developed outside of the USA.

    2) Their hydro power is limited and wave power is not a developed energy source yet. Both wrong.
