I just love it when people say "just fix the way people behave" or "just fix the way cities are designed" or "just force everyone to drive electric cars." But these same people rarely have a plan for raising the enormous funds necessarily to do any of this, or a plan for what to do when voters vote out the politicians raising their taxes for such projects. But hey, it's social media.
@lauren forget funding and votes--so many don't even have a plan for the basic engineering and physics of their proposals.
"Just fix the power grid!"
Ok, how would you redesign the electrical substation? Have a new type of dielectric to fill the equipment with that's going to get to your goals? A new type of turbine blade that can increase power generation efficiency?
Often enough the problem isn't funding or voting but simple, harsh, physical realities.
@volkris Yep.
