LOL steel

I love how the look is on the past. The present? The US is one of the largest importers of steel in the world. And it isn't like we don't need it: the US electricity grid - particularly the transformers, bridges, railroads, pipelines, etc etc are all pretty much steel.

But yes, let's promote more AI to throw most of the lawyers, accountants, book keepers and what not out of work.

love any and all hype that promotes hydrocarbon substitution to meet our energy needs, but lets please only talk about alternative energy sources on a full lifecycle cost basis (total cost of ownership), that includes recycling considerations

we gotta replace those solar panels every 20-30 years and we often can't make good use of those materials, at least within a reasonable cost to do so
