I was on a small hill when it started rumbling, we all felt the static in our hair. We quickly went down the hill.
They mentioned somewhere that Cochrane in old age talked about cyborgs, but everyone thought he went nuts.
So uh are you Japanese by heritage?
Having spent an inordinate amount of time on google earth looking at the topography, those look like tiny dams. They were not holding back any significant amount of water. They're almost run of river (run of river generation just uses the natural water flow).
(Note even with the small amount held back they could generate a lot because of the steep terrain creating a lot of pressure head, so don't go comparing the wattage to other dams.)
Yes per capita. Per capita is what matters. No country gets a free pass to do whatever they want just because they have a lower population. Per capita is literally what matters.
Imagine it this way: The US cuts carbon production by two thirds. What do you think the response would be? You'd never hear the end of it. How great the US is. How awesome the US is. How the US is responsible. How the US is not only taking charge, but how they've put their money where their mouth is and has succeeded wildly because they just cut their carbon by two fucking thirds. How awesome is that. How everyone else needs to get on the level of the US. How the US is the savior of everyone and everything. Etc etc etc. Guess what? China is already there. And the response? Crickets. Worse than crickets actually. They are horrible. They are responsible. They are everything that is wrong on the planet. They need to do more. The world can't wait, they need to act. Like fucking what? The difference it seems is that people don't understand, wait for it, per capita.
Or put it a different way: Do you think Americans have a god given right to pollute 3 times as much (because you know, per capita) just because they are Americans? Just because the US population is smaller overall? Yeah nuts to that I guess, 3 times for us USA USA USA.
Per capita they produce one third the carbon compared to the US. Fox loves to say they are the biggest emitter but that's because of their massive population. I don't see what's so difficult about this but everyone gets weird about it.
They have huge guts. We have tiny guts.
Scooters, ebikes, battery packs is all I hear of.

How did Mike Teevee fuck up again?
Also DYK food manufacturing was very secretive at the time. Doubly so for things like candy bars where your specialty was your really the entire product. Such was the basis for Charlie and the chocolate factory.
