[QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;51728002] that'd be the prohibitively expensive part i was talking about. That'd probably be fine for arlines, which can float the cost, but for anything down near civilian level, that'd take some huge refinement in the process and vast expansion of scale, presuming the foundations are sufficiently refined to comfortably replace traditional fossil fuels [/QUOTE] The US Navy can already do it for US$8/gallon using electricity from their nuclear power plants. Using high-temperature reactors designed for it will massively reduce the cost.

[QUOTE=ultradude25;51728717]What are the economics like though? Artificial sun can't be cheap to run.[/QUOTE] Yea, you hit the nail why it is not popular yet. It is expensive. All those lights (even if they are LED), climate control, general maintenance, building costs etc. all make it a rather expensive alternative to regular field farming. It really is not a bad thing but with anything it will not stand a chance unless it can come close to actual farming in terms of economic sustainability.

I suspect vertical, urban farming probably isn't as popular yet because actual, rural farming is heavily subsidized by the government to make it easier to do financially.

[QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;51728002]Electrifying the entire planet is impossible. Supposing god dropped overhead wire over every inch of rail in the world, complete with relay stations, transformers and a full stock of parts, rolling stock and internal infrastructure to support it, just maintaining that amount of electrified line would be so costly as to be impossible. In fact Amtrack took down a good portion of PRR's electrification later on because it was too costly to maintain. And that's a state run operation in a heavily urbanized area Ditto for hyperloops/vaccum tube rail. Through major arteries that travel exclusively through relitively dense areas that can support it, sure. Maintaining even a simple third rail line through the middle of the nevada desert or canadian prarires or tundra, 365 days a year? Impossibly costly and difficult. And only viable in places where the car already has a monopoly, and would have a monopoly even if ICE's disappeared tomorrow.[/QUOTE] I don't really understand what's the problem with you North Americans with electrifying railway lines? Electrifying the entire planet is very much possible. Take China for example, they have over 65 000 km of electrified railway lines. That's about 50 % more than there's railway lines in Canada altogether. The whole Europe is also electrified and the Central Europe has a quite complete system of high speed ICEs. Hell, even sparsely populated and cold climate countries like Finland have more electrified railway lines than US and Canada combined! Sure, here in Finland there's some minor problems every now and then and the maintenance might be a bit costly but overall the railway system works pretty well.

Last night I was browsing some space sh!t because I'm ill and couldn't go to sleep and I might've been tripping balls because I haven't had a good nights sleep for days but one of the photos appeared awfully familiar to me.

Just saw this on /tg/ [video=youtube;xYBl2I4sBAE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYBl2I4sBAE[/video] [QUOTE]Vsevolod Ivanov is a painter who imagines an ancient Rus that is far different than the history we have been told. His idyllic and fantastic Slavic world contains gods, flying ships, dragons, mythic beasts, massive log castles, and other elements found in tales of our pre-history. He said that he believes the history of ancient Russia today is very fabricated, so he collects old tales and legends to create his own version of Russian history.This set of spectacular art will lead you from paintings as Vedic Rus (has to do with Indo-European culture) where he shows us how truly Russian past has looked like.[/QUOTE]
