Why is the west unable to do sci-fi shit anymore?
>>525969354As an electrical engineer that has studied power, I have to say, that's one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. Dunning Kruger all the way.
>>525969354Kind if hard to build anything when the only people with jobs are reee leftist trannies, women and ESL.
>>525969354reactionary societies always decline. old white geriatrics won't lead us into the future nor rich boys who inherited their wealth.
>>525969354That shit was tried in the 50’s. Western civilizations have done all of this shit already and abandoned all of it because it’s stupid, inefficient and expensive. Kn top of that we are still lazy and opted to maximize the potential for oil production. You will notice there are only a few companies with the ability to drill in extremely deep water.
>>525969354Because it was done 10 years go already
>>525969551I dont think its lazieness as much as we all know the real solution is nuclear, but boomers literally curb stomped it so now we have to wait 10-15years to ever see new ones working. In the mean time fossil fuels is all we have and everything else is a meme untill tech break throughs
>>525969354Toyota been doing this kite wind power since 2010s, I think US even older. But seeing that it's not commercial yet, there still be technological difficulties remaining.
>>525969551Jews have ruled us since the 50's you say?
>>525969515all societies decline. ours is proof as we are the opposite of reactionaries and yet our decline seems inevitable.
>>525970375Just look up how many NPP China is building but also building all of this other shit. I think they are trying everything and anything green just because they can build anything and everything to scale.
>>525969480With engineers like you, it's no wonder America sucks at power generation.
>>525969354the shekels go to jews and jew bioweapons.
>>525971396This China's electricity is used by foreign companies for foreign products
>>525969480I, too, took basic electronics 101
>>525971394> china has about 60 and about 30-40 being built> USA has about 94 reactors spread across 54 locations> source: GPT No i wont go looking for further sources. I did what you asked. Now what?
>>525969354Probably all the POCs in America now.
>>525971683Are American reactors inefficient or something?
>>525971396And nearly all that is produced with coal btw
>>525971740Well they are mostly old tech, so probably, but I think you greatly underestimate the power demand
>>525969354hey now show the one where they reinvented the sail boat...>>525971377the decline is manufactured by corpo faggots and their government puppets
>>525969354Because people believe in the hall-of-cost.
>>52597175450%, 9% lower than last year and rapidly getting replaced by renewables.
>>525971812A few of those new data centres need the equivalent of a nuclear reactor each.
>>525971754nuclear actually, retard
>>525969551When society's are successful they do things that are stupid, inefficient and expensive. Because they can afford to. Because it is a spectacle that inspires the masses to reach towards the divine. Successful society's are decadent and take risks. America is a broke, a pussy and a shit hole.
>>525971754Holy fucking cope, mutt.
Didnt we just kidnap a sitting president using super soldiers with aimbot and a cuban exploding sound weapon?
>>525971923> rapidly getting replaced by renewables.Kek! Yea okay buddy. I read the same thing in my enviromental studies college class in 2013. Two more weeks precisely before "renewables" power the world.
>>525971923If you believe the Chinese figures, which you shouldn’t. They had motorised windmills in the cities when the Olympics was on there to make it seem they were greener than they were. It’s been memory holed now, hahaha. Alphabet, an American company running a smokescreen for their enemies. That is pathetic.
>>525972042> pic rel is youNope. China is 5% and USA is about 20% electricty produced by nuclear.
>>525969354*snip*
>>525969354Because it scale like SHIT
>>525972167look it up. China gets 60% of its electricity from coal.
>>525969354RIP birds
>>525969354this is not new technologyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_wind_turbine
>>525972273>>525972296Renewables already make up 40% of their energy production. Everything else is just cope on your end.
>>525969354One time, there was this giant windmill generator outside of Wellington, New Zealand that during a very blustery day, spun off its mast and flew all the way to the South Island, which is like a 3-hour ferry ride away.
>>525969354We've been forced to hold society back for niggers and other shitskins. That's literally it.
>>525969551And they're Brazilians and Mexicans
>>525970375The real tech breakthrough would be a rail gun that launches barrels of nuclear waste into the sun
>>525971993I bet! Boomers i blame. If we had spent their generation through X continuing building them we could have started real phasing out of fossile fuels for newer better ones, reactor waste recyclers, shit we cant even imagine today, because we just basically stopped developing at some point. Now we screwed, where our only option is quadrupling down on fossil fuels till enough next generation reactors are completed, unless some new tech break throughs happen, not just chinks reproducing stolen IP.
>>525972273> coping mutt can't believe that you can just harvest the energy of the sun instead of burning coal and oil
>>525972585> Everything else is just cope on your end.this.
>>525969354>No sci-fi shitBecause America is a nigger-cattle feedlot. We import the dregs of the third world, pay them to breed, and we give all the best jobs to retarded DEI hires while Whites are only allowed to do manual labor.
>>525972585oh! Really! I guess that explains why theyre building 40 nuclear power plants? Because those recycled cow fart machines are just pumping out wattage?? 70% of their electricity is from fossil fuels and nuclear. The rest is from that hydrodam thats a geological disaster waiting to happen, and some made up stuff.
>>525969571It looks safer than the big tall poles we have now. Why was the idea scrapped? Was it too expensive per kWh produced?
>>525971740Old and retiring.
>>525972994lol, nuclear is still tiny. wind + PV is already more than hydro
>>525972994The real explanation for America's failure and inability to compete with China is best encapsulated in this post >>525972631You've been held back by niggers who mutted up your gene pool. Basically handed the future to the Great Han Empire.
>>525971993
>>525972994Nuclear is green energy retard. But it does take the longest to build.You don't seem to understand that maybe you don't put all your eggs in one basket? Or investing in new technologies is.... A le good thing like GREEN ENERGY?Why do you think they have the best batteries, best solar panels, best EV's in the world lol?
>>525972714Why? Whats wrong with nuclear waste? Why is it bad? Because Its still radioactive? Doesnt that mean its still producing energy? We have "recycling" technology to handle nuclear waste now which can continue low yield output, its just not profitable, but again its a tech that at scale, would be the case if we had say too much nuclear waste to know how to deal with (traditionally).
>>525973142china has less nuclear power plants? Whats confusing you?
>>525973045Stringing thin steel cables thousands of feet into the air is incredibly dangerous for aircraft, especially when they are not a permanent fixture.They literally used the same kind of setup with balloons and cables as air defense in WW2.A helicopter crashed in Arizona recently just because a cable was temporarily suspended across a canyon.
>>525973211> Nuclear is green energy retard. Sorry, did I say that?
>>525969551agreed. the thing was only airborne for 30 minutes. this is why we build turbines instead
>>525973309nothing confusing, just exposing your lies and retardation about renewables (which nuclear counts as too btw)
>>525973317I failed to consider it from that perspective. Thanks for the info
>>525973317Nothing like reverse bombs to float into planes.
the point of this shit is to generate government funding. in the west we have a big scam going on right now called the "generative AI" that already does this shit.
>>525973045>Why was the idea scrapped?It might have applications in remote places for short periods of time, but eventually cables will fail. In large scale installation there would be people whose job would be catching up wayward balloon powerplants. Possibly shooting 'em down.
>>525969354
>>525973491I dont even know what your arguing you fucking jeet. You come in this thread and just starting shit. China gets 65% of its power from fossil fuels. 5% (and expected to grow) from nuclear. hydrodam power is 16% and the rest is wind and solar which is made up because neither technology produces more energy then it cost to make and run them. I dont even understand what your saying I could even lie about. These are facts not opinions.
>>525971740>Are American reactors inefficient or something?Yeah, they're extremely inefficient but slightly more efficient than just throwing petrocarbins into a furnace. If you take the amount of labor and oil burned to run a npp and compare it to the power out put of just burning the oil and coal in a conventional PowerPlant the npp is generating slightly more power than the conventional pp for the same amount of petrocarbon and carbon emissions.
>>525969354white roaches only created because they worshiped satan and the occult. brown and black people can create without satan and the occult. that's why mayo bugs lose in the end
>>525969354cost of power generated over the lifetime = xcost of constuction and maintenance = yif y > x then it's a waste of money.
Windpower is a scam. It takes more electricity to keep windmills going, than what they create
>>525969354>Why is the west unable to do sci-fi shit anymore?there was such a project, GoogleX Makani, I saw the relic in a museum somewhere in California, it was pretty retarded, maybe some engineering interns got to polish their resumes out of itmeanwhile a single land based wind turbine can do 3 Megawatts
>>525969354We're crippled by (((regulations))), (((costs))), (((lack of R&D))), and (((poor education))).By now, we should've created ways for EVERY house to be off-grid, using individual geothermal sinks, bladeless wind-turbines, and solar panels for all our energy and heating needs. Instead, we're slaves to gas and electric companies because the rich still need to make money.
>>525973353that image is not scientifically accurate and is more for bullying purposes
>>525977145>think harder
>>525973757Metal poles and a gigantic net above the balloons.
>>525977224>>think harderthere is no shortage of retarded energy engineering projectsLeading Active Airborne Wind Startups/Companies in 2026Here are some of the most prominent ones based on recent developments, pilots, funding, and market reports:SkySails Power (Germany) — One of the furthest along commercially. Launched their Kyo system in 2025: a 450 kW (scaling toward higher) autonomous kite-based airborne wind turbine. It's compact, robust, and targets decentralized/off-grid use (e.g., islands, remote sites, hybrid systems). They've started sales, run pilots (including in Germany), and emphasize high full-load hours (up to 5,000/year in good sites). Collaborations include AI integration and offshore potential.Kitemill (Norway) — Developing rigid-wing kite systems with a ground-based generator. Focus on >350m altitudes for higher yields and ~50% lower levelized cost of energy via minimal materials. They've been iterating since the 2000s, with ongoing pilots and emphasis on scalability for utility sites.Kitepower (Netherlands/Ireland) — Known for soft-kite systems like the Falcon (aiming for efficient remote/off-grid power). Uses up to 90% less material than traditional turbines. Active in the European AWE scene, with demos replacing diesel generators.
>>525977308It would be cheaper to just have a ton of solar and conventional wind power used to create synthetic hydrocarbons or other fuels that can be used in conventional plants. Legitimately just a bad idea to have tons of electrified debris floating around for no reason.
the Natrium nuclear power project is what we really needThe Natrium nuclear project, led by TerraPower (founded by Bill Gates and partnered with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy), is a pioneering advanced nuclear demonstration plant. It's a 345 MW sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) coupled with a molten salt energy storage system that allows output to ramp up to 500 MW for over five hours, providing flexible, dispatchable carbon-free power ideal for grids with high renewables or data center demands.As of mid-January 2026, the project (located in Kemmerer, Wyoming, next to a retiring coal plant) is making strong progress as the first commercial-scale advanced non-light-water reactor under construction in the Western Hemisphere.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraPower
>>525977805These TerraNigz were going to build a plant that would recycle spent nuclear fuel from regular reactors but there was a chimp out in China's direction so now we can't have nice things. I hate Jews like you wouldn't believe.
>>525971396americans dont have engineers, we call them retards.
>>525973317As if airline pilots didn't have to pay for expensive training (that most of which could be done on a pc simulator). Make those shekels count and train them to avoid completely predictable obstacles.
>>525969354>Why is the west unable to do sci-fi shit anymore?This is a pointless publicity stunt. Only retards fall for this kind of shit that China churns every day.
