Drones also seem to be good anti-tank and anti-ship weapons.

Range of tanks is not super important other than blitzkrieg strategy where refueling infrastructure catches up. Even under blietzkrieg, tanks eventually get into a siege position and solar can be enough to sustain their position indefinitely. H2 is the best quick refueling method for electric heavy vehicles. A dispenser can be hidden 1 mile or so behind the front lines. Production facilities can be portable and moved forward
H2 tanks are safer than diesel. It would make a superior tank to diesel in most ways. Quiet, electronics power, portable solar charging in forward position, H2 production in solar rear stations. In war, having all of your large oil refineries and port handling blown up the first day is common, and decentralized and portable H2 production is an important asset.
ROK while leading on H2, is way behind on both solar transition projects/roadpath and have abandoned solar technology themselves. Government does serve its industrial champions but also serves US master. US wants to subjugate colonies to its NG. Industrial champion needs clean energy independence.
These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system’s worst distribution issues.
UBI actually makes billionaires richer, even with higher taxes. Money trickles back up to them. The problem with UBI is that it redistributes power, and the powerful want all of their power. Wealth "needs" to buy power.
Trump is better at this than Musk...
It will be a beautiful necessary. Everyone will love the carnage. We will destroy America bigly. Like never before. The radical left democrats will hate it, but it will be glorious. Trust me.
XNOR is the opposite so it’s “must have both”
so AND. Always AND.
The fuck around and find out stage on diminishing Russia with nazi puppets is beyond Europe's colonial Overton window. But Europe and US progressives supporting it because a D is in the white house can be a tipping point in a close election.
DPRK getting stronger is a natural outcome of the foolishness. It is a dangerous nuclear proxy for the global south/BRICS. A single nuclear strike on US, or its air carrier fleets, is certain to collapse it, as the debt levels are already bordering unsustainability and it has near 0 actual manufacturing capacity. While Russia gets accused of being a gas station masquerading as a country, a bank masquerading as a country is not sustainable.
What is xnor and when did that become a thing?
Also the production capacity of solar wafer producers is far higher energy than global oil reserves.

They are also growing faster
oil can be most easily transported, with a single large vessel able to carry roughly 1 700 GWh
The 2gw of solar, installed in an area with just 1200 solar hours per year (optimal areas have 2000 hours), will produce 2400 gwh/year, and 60gwh over lifetime. About 35 oil tankers equivalent.
They don't vote as much. They trust the media telling them that oligarchy is bestest for them. Talking point like Harris wants to raise taxes, and Trump wants to lower taxes ignores the context that those raises/lowers are on the rich/oligarchs, and being lower information/invested voters they get deceived.
Well over 95% of the public does not understand the tax code well enough to pay attention to tax proposals, and many poor/simplest tax filings are given to external services. Scamming the public on tax policy, and especially in electoral propaganda/deception, it is very easy to sell stronger oligarchy power over a declining America as if that will improve America if it is shouted loud enough.
opposite is true by a large margin. You'd still want a hybrid power train, and a charging from solar or BEV option never hurts, but H2's advantage is quick refueling with battery charging on the go.
