His argument is that by harnessing mainly our own oil for now, but other things too, like wind, we can replace our use of foreign oil by like 25% real quick, which'll put more money into researching NEW ways to get energy, or means of doing it. Take solar for instance. It is an expensive first time payment, but it's very little to actually upkeep once you have it, which takes even more power and money away from foreign oil.

What is YOUR arguement? You have yet to propose a thesis or synthesis, so you currently have no arguement. Update you first post to include one or I'm moving this to Null.

ROFL, his plan is pretty much what the EU decided to do in 2006.
I dislike how everyone goes for big wind turbines though, smaller ones are more mechanically efficient with less wear over long periods.

I didn't see how they actually picked apart the plan.

He wanted to transfer water into Texas. They wouldn't let him because of land laws, etc... So he builds the Wind powered Generators so that he can lay the pipeline by the generator path, instead under peoples property.

Nothing in that made me think that the OP video was wrong. Sure, he wants to make some profit by piping water along with having the wind farms up.

And that girl... can she say 8 words without having to do another take and splice it together?

I like the part of the plan where they build wind turbines but we cannot use natural gas for our cars just yet...
we would need to convert our cars to run on natural gas or buy new cars that already can run on natural gas. The consumer has a huge role in this plan.
I think he should pay for the wind turbines and ask for donations that goes towards turbines.

His ulterior motive is enough for me to reject his plan.

There are better alternatives that aren't driven by dishonesty.

Yay fusion, but it's still not in a marketable point yet.

LOL look at that graph at the beginning. That is so dumb it doesn't show anything and what's worse is that the graph actually curves back in on itself.

I can't get over how dumb that is.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
