Okay, I can see that. Would that warfare could be superceded by friendly persuasion.

Any seven-year-old can master Adam Smith and repurpose him?

The roads aren't full of Lightyears because advertising, not technology. I saw one of the inventors of the solar cell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_Chapin) demonstrate a flashlight powered model car in the 1950s.

Agreed the climate doesn't care about our bickering.

Didn't mean to imply it did. Just that science isn't static. Eventually, they'll accept that Dark Matter was just dust all along.
I'd like to hear more about Bucky and Steve.
I don't know how to give an intelligible answer to friendly persuasion.Right now it's pretty hostile.Darwall runs just short of using expletives in association to anyone involved with renewables.
Networks whose lifeblood is ad revenue from the fossil-fuel industry might decline to advertise or even run a story on something like Lightyear.Some phone calls to associates might have them pulling the ads en masse,in retaliation for such exposure.
What's the latest on dark matter?,or I can do a search? I understood that there's a discrepancy in mass,to explain celestial mechanics,and the dark matter which would compensate for the missing mass can not be detected,accept for its gravitational affects on bodies around it.Dust would have at least a detectable radio signature,and it would obscure visible light,not something that's being observed.
