Aim that thing at the fossil fuel companies that literally gaslighted the public for decades.
Kerbal players, knowing the delta-v to approach the sun: … (completely unimpressed-face at a bullet flopping into the ground less than a km away)
And even if that bullet traveled at escape velocity it would only end up in a slightly more eccentric orbit. If my mental model is right, they would have to wait until a bit after sunset and shoot straight up to send it in the right direction while encountering the least atmospheric drag.

Maybe you shouldn’t live in a desert that’s on a massive deadly fault line then.
There’s more water in SoCal than Central Valley. And we can always Solar->Desalination. Unlike the poor bastards in Phoenix who are just going to run out in a few years.
What? Source that SoCal has more than the San Joaquin…unless you mean they’ve already pumped way too much water out of the valley. Hell, there’s water piped from the Valley to L.A., so if SoCal has that much water they shouldn’t need Valley water?
No, I got my geography screwed up. So I’ll just describe it from the map. There’s a line of hills/mountains east of LA and SD that scrape water out of the sky for the coast. On the East side it’s much drier but they’ve got farms all through there and a couple towns.
I really don’t know where you’re getting your info. I grew up in CA and there’s no way SoCal gets more water of any kind unless it’s piped in. This precip map also proves that. The Sierras and Northern California get way more rain/snow than the San Gabriel or Bernardino mountains “scrape” out of the sky. The Sierras are a huge range compared to them, and when they do get snow, that water feeds into the lakes and rivers in the Valley. The precipitation map clearly shows SoCal can’t match any precipitation further up the state past Tehachapi.
Yeah I was thinking about LA and SD compared to the area directly east of them. Which it strikes me now that both areas are SoCal.
The entire Southwest. Arizona has had over 100 days in a row of 100+ temperatures.
We’re ready for the orbital solar power shade.
Even the Saguaros are too hot.
Juno was mad, he knew he’d been had
And now it’s playing on a loop in my head. I’m not even mad about it.

Just got back from Southeast Asia, I’ll take this any day.
