Our Technical Reality Part 1 of 6

An often debated topic by those who don't think The Venus Project will work is the notion that we don't have the technology to pull this off. This video addresses this. If you want the full uncut version, let me know.

@schizokinesis A low intensity focused microwave beam. Just research the topic and you'll find all sorts of literature on it from NASA, JAXA and other various scientific industry websites.

I"m sorry I don't care what any society tells me....I am going to drive my Cadillac Escalade and ride my Harley Davidson as much and as often as I see fit!

Technology isn't the reason that The Venus Project is an utopia - politics is!

@tgt305 -

renewables could have built themselves if they could match oil - windmills, solar concentrators could have been built in c19th; we had bicycles and electric trains, even today i do think private cars could be eliminated. (including using teleworking). I dont beleive renewables can match fossil-fuels. hydrogen fuel cell was invented at same time as internal combustion engine. Fossil-Fuels were like a lottery win. renewables are like low income from shit job.

When we have abundant, cheap, renewable energy, we need to get electric cars that can use this energy, and get off our oil drunkenness.

They didn't discuss actually getting those satellites in orbit........

That Powersat thing is brilliant. When will we see it in use?

[Beef1188]

@kajmobile Then we're both barking into the moon. We are both making assumption based on presently awailable information, while time moves forward and nothing remains the same.

Time will tell who's right.

@Beef1188 "TVP is not talking about ownership abundance but access abundance"

we already covered this.

renting only works for a limited amount of goods that's y only a limited amount of goods r rented today. the overwhelming majority of things u consume r not rentable.

even if u forced people to rent everything that could be rentable that still only makes up a small % of total goods. it does not eliminate the need to ration with money

plus when renting is free people will rent vastly more

[Beef1188]

@kajmobile True, but if you looked more closely then you would see that TVP is not talking about ownership abundance but access abundance, which means you by definition don't have one of everyhting at home and if you needed something, say, a power drill, you go to library-like place and borrow it.

What would mean in this example is that with EXISTING levels of production (but automated) access abundance can be achieved. You just take stuff, use it, and give it back to the "library"!
