And, actually, the speed doesn't matter, because the fuel usage of planing hull makes it uneconomic at any speed, even if such speed is greater than displacement hull speed, even though it's infinitely more effective than a displa

> Displacement hulls are more efficient at lower speeds for the same displacement Yes. I thought it was obvious I was comparing at displacement speeds only; I'm sorry for not being more clear.

And, a planing hull is not a great shape for displacement. I think they have significantly more drag, just 2x or 3x though, when operating at displacement speeds.

IIRC planing versus displacement is about 10x increase in energy for the same speed. That's why all ocean-going freighters are displacement hulls.

Those are like the example I gave, they don't actually clamp like Lego bricks do, more just sitting next to each other.

I know you're just joking, but concrete is weak in tension and it doesn't bend much before breaking, so they cannot be made like Lego bricks because they will not connect securely. The closest you can get IMO is the Roman Colosseu

Renewables often generate power when it isn't needed. High efficiency reduces costs, but we're already wasting power and it gets progressively worse as the renewable share increases.

There is a way to have Verbatim the default, at least by changing the default search engine settings in the browser. Ctrl-k in my Chrome uses a verbatim search (can't remember exactly how I set it up).

Making plastic straws is not energy-intensive and the miniscule amount of electricity used can be trivially obtained from renewables. You all are grasping at straws. Of all the things in the world to want to stop making from oil, plastic st

California voted to build high speed rail, they're spending $35B for nowhere to nowhere. If built with Shinkansen efficiency, they'd get 1000 km for the same money, more than enough for San Diego to San Francisco to Sacramento. Th
