For the purposes of human life, extreme cold is never an asset. It is an absence of energy and will always require energy input to accomplish anything in such a climate.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoSome technologies benefit from cold. The challenge is in making them ROI positive.
- throwaway4aday 4y agoThat's cool but you don't need to use half the landmass of a country for those technologies. You'd be further ahead paying the cost for cooling in exchange for having that land used for agriculture, cities, and more easily accessed resources.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoYes but what you say has a premise the current statu quo of tech. What I'm saying is that some new tech requiring lots of coldness made ROI positive. You don't need thaaaaat much. Think of having something strong enough to make cities around that industry prosperous. They will urbanize places that previously wasn't feasible to urbanize.
