How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

Does this sort of shit happen every year or something? If people keep having to evacuate, why keep coming back? Why not move elsewhere and build a giant canister of water over the whole damn west coast so we can use the inevitable fire for energy instead of fighting the pointless uphill battle against west coast fires?

Same reason people build in flood zones. We pay them to.

Republicans want to ban abortion. Let’s ban cars that get less than 40mpg and move toward a 2030 goal of a ban on gasoline engines in all vehicles.
We need to be discouraging people from getting pregnant. Use birth control and adopt.
The babymill needs to be stopped because 7.2 billion people is critical overpopulation on a planet designed to host 4.2 billion.

Ban personal cars that get less than 40mpg? Reasonable*.
Ban gasoline engines in all vehicles? Not so much. At least not until we can safely and cheaply put nuclear reactors into motor vehicles or make solar panels efficient enough that we can get a significant (in terms of charging a car battery) amount of power out of what would fit on a car's roof. The problem with banning gasoline engines is large vehicles (semis, tanks, construction equipment, mining equipment, etc) that need to be able to draw a lot of power from a comparatively small source. Tanks and semis need the space for crew/ammo and cargo, respectively. Construction equipment and mining equipment are built as large as they need to be for the jobs they do, and the amount of batteries needed to supply power tot he latter especially would nearly double the size, and charging those batteries with solar energy would mean quite a lot more space than we have room for. Hydrogen cells are nice, but still on the expensive side, and then there's the fact that we still need to find green ways of making and recycling the batteries for any non-gasoline vehicle in the first place. 2030 is a bit... ambitious. The issues that are within the realm of physically possible will take much longer to solve.
*Once they're cheap enough to be a viable replacement for equivalent gas-powered cars, that is.

Because they are hit by earthquakes, or tsunamis, or tornadoes, or hurricanes, volcanoes, snowstorms, heatwaves. There isn't likely a single place on the planet that isn’t affected by something.

Also it would block the sunlight and kill all the plants underneath it. So you'd maybe get one wildfire and then you'd have killed all plant life on the west coast. Which would kill all the animal life. This would be an ecological disaster far worse than any wildfire and you probably wouldn't even produce as much energy as you spent.

Not all disasters are equal. Far more Americans are killed by summer severe weather than winter severe weather. Canadians... that's more of a grey area, but British Columbia frankly has more in common with Oregon than just about anywhere east of the rockies within Canada's borders.Ifreann wrote:Lots of reasons.

Are there any transparent materials that would let the light through to the trees while lasting long enough to (eventually) pay for itself?
