They've built thousands of covid quarantine centres throughout the country.
These can double as prison cells detention centres.

The only soldiers getting propperly fed are the ones standing at the DMZ where they do the photo ops.
The rest are malnourished af.
>Although North and South Koreans are genetically similar, North Koreans are about 13 cm shorter than South Koreans because of nutritional differences

Reply to comment by fongboi97 in Aeromine says they have solved many of the problems that have long made domestic rooftop wind power compare poorly to solar panels. They claim their "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price while taking up just 10% of the roof space. by lughnasadh
There is still a turbine. But its built in the base. The shape of the thing creates low pressure and pulls air up through the base.
Here is another design which pulls air through it, with a turbine in a tube. https://ip.sandia.gov/images/tech/2.png
Or how they can connect multiple air ducts to a single turbine https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTV9wMkd5CFzHrGmrxKyoD2baWr-IxTcRbecQ&usqp=CAU
There are no "external" moving parts is what they mean. Like a regular turbine spinning huge blades.
If they find a way to generate energy by just blowing wind along a few copper coils, let me know.

I also would have guessed that.
Then the article throws this monkey wrench into it
>Upon activation, Crimson Storage became the largest active single-phase storage project in the world, and second-largest energy storage project currently in operation of any configuration
It doesnt make any sense. Probably it means the battery is one DC battery unit which converts to 3 phase AC, instead of 3 battery units, one for each phase. Idk.

Turbines grow pretty slow it seems.

Computer chips turn 99% of the electricity into heat.
A space heater does 100%. But a space heater doesnt deposit bitcoin into your blockchain wallet.
There is not that much efficiency to gain.
