P.S. I used to have a neighbor that used solely green energy. They used wind and solar on their house. We lived on the west bank of the lagoon which is ideal for wind ( bad for boating), but good for energy.
If money were no object, I'd be using thermal. You can get it anywhere, but drilling a deep enough well is what makes it prohibitively expensive, and it's not so great on a large scale yet from what I know. Secondary to that would be a Thorium or PBR reactor, but the smallest of those are town sized units.
I too would like my own nuclear reactor... I solemnly swear that I will do very little evil with it....
Good luck producing any fissionable materials with either of those. Physics protecting us from @MattSpeller.
Pfffft I can do tons of fun stuff if you give me half a megawatt to play with
Death ray?
Enormous capacitor bank to feed my home brewed RailGun that would only ever be used for good I totally promise 😄
Oh goodness, the mind boggles with the options....
I'd use the proceeds to start Canada's only firearms ammunition manufacturing company, smelting the lead bars myself from recycled car batteries.
Oh, also, recycling plastics (HUGELY energy intensive, could easily take all 500KW on it's own)
Canada has no ammunition factories? I'd be so bummed about not having any... Every town in Idaho I've lived in makes bullets. Not just reloads in someone's basements, but big businesses. 😄
Like CCI (Spear, ATK). Anyone who's done some serious shooting in the USA knows what CCI is. Their headquarters was just down the street in Lewiston, ID.
We import it all from our ludicrously well armed Southern neighbours.
PS: please give Canada ITAR exemptions, because we have cool guns but no companies to make the ammo. With no limit on caliber it's 100% legal to own artillery, flak and anti-tank guns here. I need some 40mm bofors! 😄
You had me at 'no regulations'.... it's beautiful. :'D
lol we have a million regulations and rules like you would not believe. If, however, you are patient and follow the rules you can own just about anything you want that's not fully automatic (strangely enough "machine guns" are more restricted than artillery - yes, that is exactly as dumb as you think it is)
152mm howitzer
T-34-85 tanks
40mm bofors anti-aircraft hydraulic swivelling towed guns...
Well considering artillery is no more a gun than a black powdered rifle. In the USA, a BPR is not a firearm because there is no cartridge to expand and expel the projectile. The barrel is technically the cartridge in that regard. Very dumb, but very specific.
We can still get fully automatic weapons. I just don't go through the loops because of how much ammunition costs and what the firearms cost. Well beyond my budget. The sellers who think that a machine pistol like an Uzi worth as much as they try to sell them for.. haha ridiculous. There's a few guns I'd like to get that require a NFA license (basically to buy those firearms). But each firearm costs thousands of dollars. No thanks. I'll just pull the trigger faster. 😄
