No way!

I'm still watching prop 40 climb closer and closer to a Yes. It was an 11 point spread at 60% counted, now its a 9 point spread at 65% counted... There is a slim chance!

    I love the heavily swept wing on a slow plane. [Edit : actually it may not be too swept]

    Also, the landing gear seems low. As they rotate during takeoff it seems likely the tail will strike.

    The project may be credible but I don't think that photo is the final design.

    Edit: this design makes more sense than the evtols which will have little range and endurance.

    To the disposal argument i like to ask; are we handling our waste from burning fossil fuels well?

    Is run away climate change "doing it well"?

    Would you rather your waste be buried in the ground or pumped into the atmosphere?

    Containing the waste and burying it in the ground is the default for nuclear, meanwhile doing the same for CO2 is very challenging and it may never be viable.

    I am really impressed by how well organized they are and how much they have been able to accomplish so little funding. The Global March to Gaza, then the Sumud Floatila have been some great ideas for significant peaceful action.

    During the last flotilla and just afterward we saw:

    • A general strike in Italy.
    • Spanish and Italian war ships deployed.
    • Spain's complete arms embargo is enshrined into law
    • Many nations recognized Palestine for the first time and reaffirmed their recognition.
    • Even the US, the most significant sponsor of the genocide, proposed the best peace plan of this administration and took a small but material step in opposition to Israel.

    I'm hopeful the momentum continues and I think these people have demonstrated their trustworthiness as much as any group.

     

    I tried apps like Klima and Earth Hero. Earth Hero is especially good but I would like to play with the numbers myself for specific scenarios like snapshots of my emissions, planning my next year, logging my specific air travel, hobbies, etc.

    If anyone has a spreadsheet model I would be grateful. Otherwise I can build one. Earth Hero gives a lot of references to their source models.
