Solar Powered Sea Swarm Robots
Monday, August 30th, 2010
So humans can invent a fleet of autonomous solar-powered, sea-swarm robots made “with ultra-light nanowire mesh that can absorb up to 20 times its weight in oil” and use these to clean up an oil spill in 30 days but we can’t figure out a way to actually use solar power to meet our energy needs, create any sort of alternate lubricant or fertilizer, nor can we stop spilling oil all over the ocean?
Okay. Gotcha. Makes perfect sense.
Haven’t heard anything this rational since geoengineering to solve global warming.
