Eh, any spaceship capable of even approaching warp speed is a potential star-killer. Like in a very physical sense those ships each have the ability to kill all life within a solar system.

Yeah the windspeed ones are like. <5cm.

That’s kinda wild. Not too crazy, knowing sailing folk damn near every boat that’s over a month old has had some weird homebrew modifications done to it. Just seems like not the best plan.

I mean was it actually a windmill generator? I have windmill-looking things on my boat for measuring wind speed and such (they are small). It’s just that using the actual sails to pull your boat along, and then using the speed to turn a water turbine on the hull is way more efficient. Especially since there’s no meaningful difference between a motor and a generator, apart from which way the power flows.

On sailboats? Huh. I was just looking into converting to electric, a lot of them do regenerative charging through the prop.

My house is wood and was built in 1923.

Houses are made of wood in the US because we didn’t chop down our forests in the 1500s. European houses generally fall into the category of 1000+ year old stone or modern brick

Most houses around these parts are made of wood, not concrete.

If you’re switching to concrete, emissions will be worse than pretty much anything else you could use. Concrete is already responsible for some 8-12% of all global CO2 emissions.

Meh, they had willows to chew on back then too.

That explains all the rising depression and anxiety.

After all, the things that make life worth living are the new iPhone.
