Hey God bless you, me too! If there is anything inspiring about watching David Attenborough films, other than our gorgeous Earth, it is that nature has the processes to recover. Even in the worst of conditions. Just look at Chernobyl. A whole ecosystem returned and is thriving better than the ecosystem on the outer perimeter of it.

Remember when Bush senior had a climate policy. This change really shows how money can manipulate public opinion and politicians’ “decisions”

Yeah I didn’t think Gore was all that exciting either so I can understand. But unfortunately everything has to be one side or the other. Even science.

Man if Al Gore was elected we may have had a shot in 2000. But I guess Florida voted to grow gills.

Well I fear even if the information is encrypted alone once quantum computing breaks modern AES encryption standards that’s going to be a yikes. So I’d be more comfortable with encryption as well as access controls.

I read you use IPFS. To my knowledge everything on there can be encrypted however not private. Is there a specific way you get around that.
Re:Heliogen, backed by Gates, says it has achieved a solar breakthrough

Yeah true. I heard of another Bill Gates backed startup that actually stored the energy in a form of potential energy which was way more cost effective. Keep in mind though dams are super catastrophic to the environment as far as water flow which can be detrimental to moisture and animals that depend on water in certain areas

@elonmusk please work with integrating battery tech with these guys!!
Ask HN: As a technologist what can I do to have an impact on Climate Change?
I am very good with programming, electronics, embedded systems, etc. I have very little knowledge in Chemistry and don’t have billions of dollars to do some mega project. What can I do? I feel I have a purpose here but am not seeing it now.
