Epic. My aunt had a 1st gen Norton Model 77 Dominator in the later part of the 1950s as a wheatbelt paddock basher and offroad cross country beast. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Model_77_Dominator 500cc versio

Trees and seagrass don't really address the sequestration side though, do they? The carbon they latch onto and temporarily hold onto is still within the land / sea surface +/- a few metres layer. The current largest scale car

Actual artisans largely make "shit" and mostly leave the selling to others. There are always exceptions, of course, and people that seek out crafted goods often want to climb over counters and into workshops .. but the crafting ti

From that lede photo, far less communal open space for walking, running, kicking a ball, etc. Leading to a car centric less active and less communal lifestyle.

How will carbon be removed by Frontier? Planting trees? Capturing carbon from industrial plants / byproduct from LNG extraction? Where will the extracted carbon be sequestered?

It's a leaky tin can system interfering with radio astronomy, that's not "on par" with either fibre or ground based 5G. Shield it properly (as promised) or ditch it.

Towns are where people live, buildings come and go - Manitoulin Island, within the Great Lakes, still has the Wiikwemkoong First Nation unceded and occupied land, near to which French Jesuits set up a mission in 1648.

To be fair the towns a North American might be talking about could easily date to 400 to 600 years ago at least - with signs of human occupation in the Great Lakes area going back 10-12,000 years before present, a good deal on the present l

Such charts exist - they're the "costs per unit" charts; perhaps broken down into (say) capital upfront plant costs, ongoing running costs per unit generated, and decommissioning costs. It's the decommissioning costs for

and yet Western Australia, 3x size of Texas with less than a million people in 1980 had a telephone network that covered the population. The "sums are different for rural V urban" doesn't make leaky tin cans a better solution

If you're going to go networking in New York, maybe see if anyone is interested in running a study / pilot project on pushing carbonated water into ultramafic rock to kick start self powered (via hydrogen) carbon capture. ~ https

Ground constellations (eg: SKA in radio astronomy) are still vastly cheaper than orbiting arrays, also easier wrt incremental upgrade via physical visits, etc.

Seems like a case for the US having better fibre deployment than it does for leaking interference from unshielded poorly made tin cans.

We had that before Starlink flooded the radio quiet zones with leakage.
