- Comment on Clean, Limitless Energy Exists. China Is Going Big in the Race to Harness It. 2 days ago:
The world’s two superpowers are in a tightening contest to dominate the energy future. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. is intent on producing oil, gas and coal and selling it abroad. Its chief economic rival, China, has become the world’s dominant supplier of clean energy in the form of solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles.
Hard to disagree with that.

That doesn’t even make any sense.

It’s an experience now. You can disagree with it, but it is. It hasn’t been just for gambling for a long time.

There won’t be an explicit decision to up and leave to create a new city
No. Shit. Sherlock.
Do you understand that you recycle water? Set up the system like Vegas and your toilet flush today is your drinking water tomorrow. It doesn’t go poof into the ether JFC. That means you only have to ship in the losses JFC. Piping in water losses is fucking easyyyyyyy. Relocating millions of people is harrrrddd. JFC you people have no idea how things work. Water prices will go up yes, quite a lot when you consider it’s close to free right now. It’s not going to be a expontially increasing graph until the end of time like you’re talking.

Vegas is a destination to its own now. Collapse isn’t happening. Give your head a shake.

I highly doubt in this scenario. Water is not that expensive even shipped. Building anything let alone a city? Fucking insane. Think about every house business and industrial builiding. It’s unreal.

Bum fuck nowhere might go under because there’s no business there anyway. Vegas and Phoenix are not going anywhere.
- Comment on The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing 1 week ago:
You can recycle your water very well. Vegas has a very low loss rate. It will be cheaper to pipe water in to replace losses than build an entire new city.

Same energy as: Soccer goalies use their hands, so it’s not football!!
Vast, vast, vast, vast majority of the game is with the hands.

- Comment on New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it 2 weeks ago:
Mining costs are probably subject to more increases, as things get harder to access and environmental laws tighten
- Comment on New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it 2 weeks ago:
What’s more, the researchers say the method is much more affordable than other battery-based lithium-harvesting techniques, costing about US$12.70 per kilogram of lithium recovered.
That’s in comparison to acid leaching, which runs about $81-462 per kilogram and produces chemical waste, and high-heat smelting, which costs $36-126 per kilogram and is more inefficient at separating out lithium from other elements. Based on these findings, the team says its method could be the first commercially viable way to recapture lithium from dead batteries.
Indeed, according to Daily Metal Prices, lithium costs $13.17 per kilo on the open market as of the time of writing. So this method actually comes out cheaper than just buying the stuff.
