someone needs to invent more pervious concrete

"Infrastructure"

I always hear lefties complain that CEQA is unfairly maligned, but anyone with enough money can stop or seriously delay any project from going forward.

Separately from self imposed restrictions, I'm not sure what water projects we could even try to build without the feds suing us over the delta smelt.

New superconducting magnet breaks magnetic field strength records major in advance toward fusion energy

On Sept. 5, for the first time, a large high-temperature superconducting electromagnet was ramped up to a field strength of 20 tesla, the most powerful magnetic field of its kind ever created on Earth. That successful demonstration helps resolve the greatest uncertainty in the quest to build the world’s first fusion power plant.

Developing the new magnet is seen as the greatest technological hurdle to making that happen; its successful operation now opens the door to demonstrating fusion in a lab on Earth, which has been pursued for decades with limited progress. With the magnet technology now successfully demonstrated, the MIT-CFS collaboration is on track to build the world’s first fusion device that can create and confine a plasma that produces more energy than it consumes. That demonstration device, called SPARC, is targeted for completion in 2025.

So the end of the world will be in 2025. Got it.

Inadvertent proof the illuminati is in contact with extraterrestrials.

This is going to be one of the biggest pieces of failure when it comes to AGW mitigation.

I just read a chapter in a book this morning that basically argues exactly that. When the anti-nuclear forces win the replacement is overwhelmingly fossil fuels with some token renewables thrown in and that the NRDC, Sierra Club, and EDF are basically complicit in this as they are well aware ahead of time that this will be the outcome. Admittedly, the book is very pro-nuclear so I need to read more on the anti-nuclear side of things, but it seems like nuclear should be much more embraced by the environmentalists/those concerned with climate change.

Funny to see this right after the map BI posted.

Surely a country like somalia is meeting the requirements?

Pledges are what’s needed? I feel foolish for believing that action was required.
