Bringing anything up there is hideously expensive.

> What I always have to ask is why? There is a huge fusion reactor not that far away, but far enough that it poses only minimal danger to us here. All we need to do is to collect the energy. Why re-invent the sun wheel?

1. Most of the Sun's energy is lost due to the atmosphere

2. Solar panel don't work during night

The power outage isn't tied to inflation (through the price is tied to inflation, as electricity price is tied to gas price). It's something only happening in France.

It's a combination of bad luck (we need to do some emergency repair in a few reactors), Covid quarantine preventing the routine repairs the last few years, the cold weather greatly increasing our energy consumption (a large chunk of the french heating is electric), and lack of investment in our nuclear capacity since... around 1997 I think.

Oh, it absolutely would have consequences, yes. I don't care.

We already drove numerous species to extinction (no, seriously, we are an extinction event called the Holocene extinction, we killed 30% of all species in 500 years), at least this time it would be for an excellent reason.

The only good mosquito is a dead mosquito. I don't care it would damage the biosphere or whatever - they hurt. And they love me.

Kill. Them. All.
