    heres my fake summary:

    instead let’s… i dunno, drill a hole to the earths core or mine asteroids for orbital solar panels or other easily attainable, practical solutions we can do in the next 5 years

    then we’ll just wait for a bunch of scam startups in the west to magically develop a commercial fusion reactor

        i mean in theory its a cool idea and i’d love to see it but only under the auspices of an accountable to the people, global world socialist government space agency

        we might need a combo of that plus sun shade eventually anyways just to make it through the next 50 years
