If they don't, they should be shunned. Patron states of misbehaving clients should be sanctioned. If that was the case Canada would have boat loads of sanctions for human rights violations against it, many human rights violations have been brought up against Canada, and yet no sanction's , why is that...

My guess is that your talking nonsense. Boatloads? How big a boat and load are you talking about? On par with Iran, Burma, Switzerland? if you're talking about human rights violations against 1st Nations, Chinese labourers or the internment of Japanese Canadians or something we're probably leading the world when it comes to reconciling these.

Russia and Iran are terrorist states in addition to having abysmal human rights records at home. We should ban Canadians from going there and ban their citizens from coming here (except as refugees).

Or having our soldiers loot the local sporting goods stores for ammo. Isolationism hasn't proven a terribly effective strategy either as i recall, so what would it achieve?

We express concern about China's intensions towards Taiwan but China see's Taiwan as a province of China just as we view Alberta and Quebec as an integral part of Canada. If either attempted to separate, we would have a civil war. The USA is the same with their civil war. We just have to embrace our hypocacy. We can hope China's recent announcements are just an attempt to influence the election in Taiwan. Would you rather we fight China and Russia at the same time? China's fantasies are not related to our realities. I see myself as a sexy, wealthy eighteen-year-old. No one else is required to respect that. Taiwan has not been in any way a part of China for over a century. It is a free, democratic country and we should support them against the vicious tyrant who runs China. Canada can't fight anyone, however. It has no military to speak of, and they have no equipment to speak of. And even if it had weapons we have no ammunition.

It might if we could store it properly. It's conceivable that in some areas during the summer months it would produce an excess of energy that you could store and use in the winter months or the like. But the energy storage systems we have are no where near remotely efficient enough for that. We woudl need radical advances in energy storage technology.

We could probably create enough excess energy in the summer to be useful but by the time we buy and install the panels, buy and install the batteries, we probably spend more money than we'd spend on electricity in ten years.

Well you just couldn't even consider it in the slightest with todays battery tech. Not only is it too expensive and too massive for practical storage it has a bad habit of bursting into flames that cannot be put out, which makes forest fires look like the better alternative Someday they will make energy storage a real thing - but till then....

I just don't think that battery power is the way of the future. Maybe humans weren't meant to be Gods of travel to the extent that we are today, or maybe alternative energy methods will be created, or maybe we'll find some kind of anti-gravity/inertia hack that makes travel less energy-dependant, but I don't think that batteries can power large masses over long distances at high speeds for thousands of years to come. They're a short-term solution at best imo. By 2040 we'll probably have something better to work with. Maybe Hydrogen fuel cells will improve or something.

Well 'batteries' are our current form of energy storage but really when we're talking energy storage we have to think beyond that. For example - hydro dams are efficient energy storage - we can use gravity and water to store very large amounts of potential energy and use it when we need to. In that sense the lake behind a dam is a 'battery' of sorts. there's no doubt new energy creation models are important as well. The elusive plasma fusion, or some species of alternative renewable energy or the like. However they are working on energy storage solutions such as quantum batteries and the like which would allow us to make use of things like solar and wind far more effectively. I dont know - i guess it's whatever we manage to get working first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeitgeist Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I suspect we’ll find more efficient ways to store electricity, but we need better ways to produce it. There are interesting natural sources of electricity that we see in earthquake lighting, etc. There have been studies showing that pressure on rock seems to cause electrons to leak from the rock, for example. We may discover that electricity is more easily accessible than we thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh - great. Now Herbie just spent the last 26 hours banging rocks together, says he saw a 'spark' with is proof of concept and is applying for a 10 million dollar grant to continue to develop his 'stone voltage' concept. Says it's also possible that it could be used as a source of ignition which will reduce carbon from producing matchsticks. Way to waste the taxpayer's money ya doof What you SHOULD have told them is you can get electricity from banging a rock against your HEAD. That wouldn't have reduced our carbon emissions in this country but stupid-emissions would have gone down at least. That greatly reduces global face-palming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back a number of posts between you two and I still have no clue what you mean by 'reversing it'. I never saw AG mention reversing anything and the post you're replying to just suggests change, which I gather you are in favor of anyway. Btw, if our dollar was worth $1.05 American I don't see how an outboard motor would cost so much more here than there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, I believe that the last election was a fixed election. Reason being that i spoke to many people before that election, and they all told me that they despised Trudope. And i can believe that the next Canadian election could be fixed once again. There can be no way that this fool of a PM can ever win another election unless there is fraud involved. We must wait and see. We were told that Bidumb won the election in America in 2020. Yet, during that election, Bidumb hid in his basement all the time during that election. Every time Bidumb makes a speech somewhere, there is hardly any people in the audience. Bidumb gets about maybe a hundred to two hundred people to listen to him babble away. While a Trump rally gets tens of thousands of people attending his rally. Bidumb did not win the last election. Trump did. The fix was in for old Joe. Indeed, i do hope the conservative party wins the next election, otherwise, Canada as we once knew it will be toast. There will be more multiculturalism and diversity, more DEI, more massive people of color immigration, and plenty more of WEF climate crisis nonsense which will make things even worse. The next election will be either for freedom or globalist communism for Canada. If the latter should win, there will be no way back to the good old days. The deed is done. It will be hundreds of years of trials and tribulations that has been told in the bible. Just my opinion of course. 😇 Edited January 9 by taxme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
