Quote from: K-Dog on Apr 09, 2024, 07:10 PMA lot of talk about making Hawaii into a food forest and thorium reactors to make the big island into a self-sufficient micro civilization able to reproduce enough modern technology on a sustainable basis to stay modern. Simon pointed out while that is a great plan, nothing in Hawaii is organized to make this happen.
Forget the organization, Hawaii is far too overpopulated for it's available resources for growing food or water to drink. Before you even think about reorganizing and making it a sustainable food forest, either 90% of the population has to emmigrate off the Island or die off. Also helpful would be sea level to stop rising and rainfall to return to preindustrial levels. Then you also need to wait for the chemicals to rinse out of the aquifer.
This idea ranks right up there with micro-nukes solving our energy deficit problems. Simon and his crew are hopium addicts.
