A little more starkly, each dollar diverted from solar and wind to nukes and fossil fuels brings climate catastrophe nearer.

This seems to be p-11B fusion via electrically accelerating protons to collide with slow boron nuclei, producing three ballistic helium, or alpha particles, and gamma radiation. Under normal thermal conditions this would need to be many ord

Nuclear is effectively irrelevant to the future of power production, as it cannot compete on cost, and falls further behind with each passing year.

Use of fossil fuels will fall off naturally as the cost of renewables continues on down the learning curve, radically undercutting them. Without the enormous subsidies fossil fuels still enjoy, they would have been undercut years ago.

"Windmills" and electric cars do not, in fact, rely heavily on rare earth materials. Enormously more are used, e.g., in quadcopters. Even in places where powerful rare-earth permanent magnets are now important, they will soon be l

Neanderthals got to Mediterranean islands using what had to have been boats 200,000 years ago. Of course we know nothing about the boats. It must have been terrifying to be first. One thing we have learned about island populations is that a

There is an implicit expectation that numerous tropical solar farms will produce anhydrous ammonia for export, both as fuel for shipping and to back up intermittent temperate sources, and for traditional uses in industry and agriculture. Th

Exactly as I said. Russia's system's extent is broader because Russia itself is broader.

Extraordinary claims require legitimate evidence. "Extraordinary" cannot describe evidence; all evidence is ordinary. What happened here is that the evidence was so bad as to be incapable of supporting any claim.

It is humiliating because he violated all principles of legitimate science. He was not just wrong, his claims were not even possibly scientifically right, or meaningful.

What is humiliating is to be seen failing to learn from elementary criticisms by longtime professionals. In this, Loeb is different from promoters of the end-Pleistocene comet strike in North America, where all the criticisms were obviously

That Loeb failed to collect material outside the area he designated, as controls, demonstrates he was not even attempting actual science.

Female argonauts have the shell their whole life long, and do not only construct it when they have eggs to put in it. We may reasonably assume that it has survival value even when there are no eggs. We know, for example, that they carry bub
