5·3 days agoKnowing the Germans, they’ll lobby even harder for tariffs and subsidies for fossil fuels, claiming that their customers demand the authentic vroom vroom noise. Meanwhile customers are looking at way to expensive SUVs as the main model being sold.
the drought is real, but so are awful water management, subsidised waste, thirsty crops in the wrong places, and political appointments that put loyalty above expertise
That’s certainly not exclusive to Iran. Other places will have the same issue sooner or later.
In April 2011, during an interview with Wall Street Journal, Mr Musk was pressed to give a time frame as to when humans could land on Mars. “Best case, 10 years. Worst case, 15 to 20 years,” Mr Musk responded.
If the government vehemently denies it, it must be true.

Rapid building of water reclamation and desalination. Import water for now. All expensive options compared to just pumping out of the ground.
