Most industries in the US only care if a location has water capacity rather than sustainability issues.
The people who want the first part to happen also want the second.
>there are also a huge number of opportunities -- it is (hopefully!) going to make it possible to image at higher spatial resolution, and also be much better for MR spectroscopy, and reveal information about low concentrations of biomolecules. But I guess the main point of my comment originally last night was trying to convey "the journey is really just beginning" and not "expect this in your local hospital in five years time".
What specifically in your estimation will aid in detecting low concentration biomolecules?
That paper is on my to read list.
Oh shit so the math and detection gets stupid difficult at higher mag fields because of wavelength/scale and complex environments. I cant imagine how interesting those patterns for B1+ ≠ B1-* are from a diagnostic perspective /s. But as an academic pretty damn cool with a lot of opportunities.
Heating the patient sounds like a bad idea. So the higher mag field incurs a lot of problems due to physical properties and the sample media being the human body. It does look like we are innovating a lot to make this work. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading so far.
We did an ok job with nuclear weapons but only just.
Well that's the question right? Without nuclear there may not be a middle ground as an option for a lot of people.
>So your just suggesting we go back to the middle ages? No, thank you.
I'm not suggesting anything, simply declaring it an option.
i appreciate your language as well.
Energy is needed for basic modern services.
Humans have survived a long time without electricity. It could be simpler to 'go without' or 'find a workaround' for a lot of conveniences if we were serious at combating climate change.
Global instability is likely to lead to more conflict and war without any guarantees of end. A vast population reduction of vulnerable people for a lot of people IS extinction.

There are multiple nuclear reactors being built in China at present.

Security, whatever form you consider it, has not taken a step back since the end of the cold war. What reason or incentive could we possibly give already empowered people to be less powerful?
Two years of complete or near complete communication monitoring combined with the patriot act is going to influence our society going forward for decades. This enormous feat of surveillance was done with little trust in oversight.
> I don't personally think the pandemic warranted such a totalitarian crackdown on citizens.
This thought is way too vilified and used as justification for extensive monitoring. Though we survived the resulting fallout of the entirety of pandemic measures I'm not sure many will agree in what form we want to continue.
Smaller nuclear devices will need constant care and monitoring that it is highly likely people will need to 'grow with' such devices. I dont think the will UN back something without a proof of concept which could delay adoption years.
