Bull shit. Water just gets recycled. Where is it going?

Ok, I acknowledge that meteor defence is a pretty cool reason.

We didn’t know we where living on earth “wrong” until we went to space and could gather data to prove it, our best technology to combat the “wrongness” has all come from space exploration. Computers solar panels etc. Putting humans in unique situations leads to unique solutions that then get absorbed by the race for other uses. That’s why we use algorithms made to chart the stars to find cancer, science is freaking amazing.

What animals WOULD they ride into combat?

If so, then fracking will not be the key to American energy independence.

People need to go vegan. Lots of water is used for animal ag. We dont need animal ag.

OK so we just develop red meat chickens that taste like beef. Gonna ask ChatGPT to genetically engineer one right now

Just set off nukes along fault lines in the oceans... a bunch of water will go up in the atmosphere. Plus the clouds of smoke and steam will help shade earth.

I love almonds but would give them up in a heartbeat if it meant better quality life for everyone.

The moon is not necessarily further away from the sun as the earth. Half the time it’s closer half the time it’s further

The earth also spends about half the time without the sun in the sky.

If you built the panels on the far side of the moon, the earth would never interfere with the sun while the panel is facing the sun

If you built the panels on the face of the moon we can see, the earth would only block during a lunar eclipse which is rather rare.

And what is your source for the moon receiving less light than the earth? They receive essentially the same amount

Well that’s true, they’re not going to do jack and the ones doing the damage 100 years ago are also dead. I’ve often wondered when malls closed down, why the mall owner isn’t made to tear it down and plant trees. Politicians are lame, weak, and lack any imagination whatsoever.

Hah good luck with that. Think the people who didn’t bother in the first place are gonna bother now? They aren’t gonna be the ones suffering the most in the end

It's not the panels at all. The panel is the same if it's on earth and the moon. The reason it's dumb is because the moon has significantly less light than earth. It's further away and half the time it's covered by earth. Earth is way bigger as well so less percentage of it is covered by the moon. Yea nuclear reactor makes more sense

Also why the downvotes. You can just move on

Okay assuming your not a troll, what is it that you’re saying? Since the moon is smaller than the earth that solar panels don’t make sense? Nobody is suggesting covering the entirety of the surface of the moon in panels. I was talking about the efficiency of panels that are the same size on the moon vs earth

Tell me you don't know anything about the moon without telling me you don't know anything about the moon

Exactly. The northern part of Canada has so much fresh water but the growing season is less than 3-4 months while California has almost a year round season between Salinas and Oxnard. Cost effective Desalination is the how this problem can be solved. Also, stopping companies from taking the water from CA for bottled water needs to stop ASAP

Only cause energy will be free, governments and people need something else to control....

Rolls-Royce is an aerospace company - they design, build and supply nuclear reactors for submarines for the past 60 years. The car brand and division was sold off to BMW 24 years ago.

Not sure what you mean here. I mean sure the surface area of the moon is smaller, but a square meter of solar panels on earth is the same size as a square meter of solar panels on the moon. And it may be further away from us but half the time it’s closer to the sun than we are by a small amount. I somehow doubt the variation in the distance between the moon and the sun is very much or significant for powering but maybe.

If anything maybe the atmosphere (or lack of) would be the biggest difference but I’d imagine that would only help solar panels work better (but I also don’t know). Don’t be rude

dying people dont need water tho
