I hope my budget would allow me both fair-trade landmines and carbon-neutral nucs, both are important to keep our killzone environmental friendly.
Fake newz
Carbon-neutral nukes aren’t a thing, but don’t need to be. Nukes have been well established to be a long term solution to global warming via Nuclear Winter.
The way things are going it may be our only way to keep from going extinct due to global warming. Not that it’d be much better.
Optimum usage detonates the weapon at higher altitude than those who proposed nuclear winter believed
Nukes used with the intention of doing the most damage throw the 2nd least amount of soil into the stratosphere
(2nd after maximum EMP attacks)
This is by UK artist Darren Cullen, aka SpellingMistakesCostLives. He also runs the Museum of Neoliberalism in the UK and has done a bunch of anti war/army/MIC pieces. All in all a decent dude.
Decimating population numbers is factually hella sustainable from the environmental pov.
I actually wouldn’t mind some biodegradable landmines that were only dangerous for 5-10 years or something. Imagine if we had those in WW2 Europe or Vietnam, those places would be much safer now if we did.
DOD Exercises Option on Second Micro Nuclear Reactor Design
Sept. 13, 2023
As part of the Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) initiative Project Pele, the Department of Defense (DOD) has awarded a contract option to X-energy, LLC of Rockville, Maryland in order to develop an enhanced engineering design for a transportable micro nuclear reactor.
The DOD uses approximately 30 Terawatt-hours of electricity per year and more than 10 million gallons of fuel per day—levels that are only expected to increase due to anticipated electrification of the vehicle fleet and maturation of future energy-intensive capabilities. A safe, small, transportable nuclear reactor would address this growing demand with a resilient, carbon-free energy source that does not add to the DOD’s fuel needs, while supporting mission-critical operations in remote and austere environments.
Way ahead of you.
That’s actually pretty cool but for a wartime setting that would be one huge, centralized and vulnerable target
There’s been some research into space-based solar power by the DoD for that exact reason. It was a while ago, but launch costs have come down substantially and the idea is possibly viable at this point. And even back then, IIRC it was projected to be less than we spent air conditioning the desert in Iraq.
The seed bomb is actually viable. Coat the exterior in kudzu. The fragments will go everywhere and also kill your opponents long term production.
Lazer guided seed bombs seems almost reasonable. And the impact creator tills the soil!
Phew. So glad we won’t run out of energy to kill each other. Was getting worried there. /s
We need to look to the North Koreans for this kind of thing. They have a pretty decent army but they save lots of cost and environmental impact by not feeding them
Looks like the vatican flag if vexillologycirclejerk got their hands on it
This post reminded me of this Onion episode: How can we make the war in Iraq more Eco friendly
