Just Because We Did Doesn’t Mean We Can Again

Rabbits and hats are for magicians not custodians of the planet.

Over the years the US has been pretty good at pulling rabbits out of hats. Sometimes sheer will can overcome giant obstacles. Obstacles so big it stretches your imagination to even conceive of the problem much less a solution. Some say we just need to find another rabbit or two and we can fix climate change. But, we may be at the edge of some physical limits when it concerns climate change and finding a sufficient quantity of rabbits may not happen.

Here is a little background that outlines a couple of these superhuman feats.

After Pearl Harbor we managed to put together a “war machine” that won WWII with conventional warfare and the “new fangled” hydrogen bomb. Pretty nifty piece of work that included constructing the city of Oak Ridge Tennessee that did not appear on any maps in 1942 and was not even named a city until 1949. In only a few years we developed the most powerful weapon known to mankind at the time. Using the uranium from that facility/city we created the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Some might say it was not a good piece of history but it was a super human piece of engineering work done in only a few years.
