Solar still has some huge problems when it comes to seasonality and day/night cycle. You either need massive battery build out or some other form of energy to handle base loads and/or offset when solar isn’t producing enough.
Not saying solar isn’t part of the future, but we literally can’t just rely on solar.
Since Gacha stems from Gashapon vending machines (source - Wiki Gacha, I feel like medium purists should stick to vending machines only.
I think this is more interesting limiting it to fictional pieces or work, as many of the non-fiction examples were written to have a real world impact.
Also one I didn’t see was The China Syndrome. If you’re unfamiliar it was a drama about a nuclear incident, but happened to release just days before the Three Mile Incident. Meaning it was a one-two punch to the nuclear industry and something people point to about nuclear energy stalling in the US.
That’s just not true. I can’t speak for mines, but warehousing and collecting garbage from the ocean and other domains do have fully autonomous systems.
Humanoid robots aren’t really used anywhere, but that’s cause they aren’t really a functional product yet.
You can tell the Fed doesn’t know what to do given they keep pretending inflation is tied to economic activity and not trade wars and actual wars.
In a normal world the Fed would be calling on the President or Congress to enact policy to curb inflation since its a type of inflation the Fed has no control over, but no one seems to want to call Trump on all the damage he’s been doing.
I feel like it probably breaks one of your rules, but an ironman or gundam suit would be great. For the ironman angle I guess you could just say the repulsors since that gives you flight while still being offensive.
I mean, nailgun has “gun” in it, but we don’t consider those weapons. Sure they could be used that way, but so can most industrial tools/equipment.
I’m not talking about price, I’m talking about generation.
I have solar panels, they are great. However, I get too much energy in the summer, not nearly enough in the winter, and no power at night. Since I’m on a grid that doesn’t matter too much for me, but highlights some of the issues.
Even if I installed a battery, I’d end up with extra power in the summer and not enough in the winter. Which just highlights the discrepancy in production. Batteries obviously help solve this, but some mixture of wind/nuclear/other is needed.
