@arstechnica Can't fucking wait to see the next-gen coal-powered aircraft carriers and submarines.
@arstechnica The proposal ignores the paradigms of the global energy transition, attempting to artificially sustain an obsolete matrix through military demand, lacking long-term economic viability.
the entire administration is a violent deluded pedo mysogynist sadoNazi death cult @arstechnica
@arstechnica would be the funniest joke to see if someone could convince him to demand the Trump battleships ( meaning the actual ships and not Trump himself) run on coal
It’s also insane because the resources themselves have become more and more expensive to extract, which means that you have to spend more and more energy to extract energy. When you spend about as much energy as you get back, it’s impossible, but well before that, it becomes economically insolvent.
