    Maybe the secret police storing exabytes of the entire global populations data, to enrich their cronies in tech and surveillance capitalism, should reallocate those resources to something that benefits instead of enslaves?

      Just erased (really) that surveillance data, it will spare lots of memory for good goals. But they will go for more toys.

    I’ve been hearing a lot more interest in on site power generation, which would be nice except it will probably end up being natural gas.

      I keep hearing about micro nuclear reactors, and I hear there are some in testing in my general area (I’m in Utah, and I hear there are some projects in Wyoming and Idaho). So here’s hoping that’ll become a thing.

      Also, solar panels should work pretty well. I’m thinking:

      1. solar -> batteries -> hydrogen
      2. hydrogen -> trucks and recharging batteries

      So, basically like a massive UPS with some physical, local energy storage. Here’s hoping these will become practical in the near future.
