Ah, so it's Alaska weather you despise. Fair enough but how the heck is that a reasonable criticism of the building? The weather would be just as Alaskan if they had three hundred houses instead of one mega-apartment.

Dafuq? "Only Temperate Rainforests, Mountains, and Sheltered Ocean?" How the heck unpleasable are you when it comes to access to nature?

Huh? Most Whittier residents love it. Cost of living is only about 82% of the national average even though Alaska itself averages 116%, and it has ample access to nature and a big city without the headaches of urban sprawl. Whittier is a good example of why I'm in favor of archologies rather...

Pretty much, though most archology projects somehow have the idiotic idea that the archology should also have food production inside itself which is just stupid. Oh, maybe an aquaponic for lettuce and fish, and rabbits produce an unreal amount of protein per square foot so you could have a bit...

It seems that if you want a 15-minute city, the way to do it is to build the entire town in one building and minimize travel properly. The Boeing Everett facility is 8 stories tall and just under 100 acres, it's a single building that's actually about as large as Disneyland for comparison...

Almost worth going in News of the Amused. The secretary of Energy went on a Road Trip in Electric Vecicles to promote Biden's new initiatives making it easier to find chargers and EV infrastructure, and to encourage people to buy more Electric Vehicles...

A group of climate activists decided to play their old tricks and blockaded the state highway leading to the Burning Man Festival, leading to an utterly massive traffic jam. Nothing says good for the environment like causing thousands of cars to idle on the highway for hours on end, spewing...

There's something hilarious about the fact that Hollywood has been showing gas cars exploding when shot at for years while that's exceedingly difficult to make happen, and now we finally have electric cars that explode for absolutely no reason at all.

When Medical Marijuana was legalized in my state I did some investigating to see if it was worth getting into, on account of having family who'd grown it in Cali. and thus would be worth doing. It wasn't but one thing that did stick with me is that the best grows are in sealed tents so that you...

Hours before shutting down their last nuclear plant, Germany has announced everybody's electric bill is going up 45%.

They're not using any special genetic material and it's not some sort of algae solar-panel, in fact it needs its own solar panels for power to its pumps (and a USB port) and the algae is just random pond scum they scooped out of a nearby freshwater lake...

As somebody who operates an aquaponic, I know a bit about how these things work. If these liquid trees genuinely don't evaporate, they also have no access to the outside air to remove carbon, it doesn't work that way. There's also a zero percent chance these liquid trees don't need constant...

This seems like it's just having a pond with extra steps... and requiring more energy since it's not powered by the sun... and having less actual utility than a real pond which would also provide a pleasant environment for humans to rest and look at, and provide for animals, fish, and birds to...

It does rather feel like climate change is increasingly leaning into war on comfort. They keep going after things that aren't particularly harmful to the climate but do give poor people a modicum of pleasant living.

They're coming for air conditioners next. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-cracks-down-air-conditioners-war-appliances-continues

Came across a bit of this old gold.

And we've got some updates on this now. Here she is giggling and joking with the police while the press get their camera angles right and set up boom mikes, plus them practicing a couple of holds before settling on the "iconic" shot. It wasn't just show on her part, the entire thing was staged...

Again, you make no sense. The locomotive uses electric engines, it cares about total electricity. It doesn't need life support, sonar, weapons, etc. so it doesn't need to throw electricity at all the things the Virginia does and can devote more of its reactor power to shaft output. And you...
