Getting Arafat, Rabin and Peres to agree on something was well worth the prize…but I agree that starting to remove them would be opening a can of worms. It was just an attempt to reclaim some legitimacy for the prize, particularly if you work against the award after getting it.

Let me repeat: the prize should never have been given to Obama in first place, this is just doing the right thing anyway, not because he asked. And remove Kissinger’s and Aung San Suu Kyi too.

I see there is a broader reason: without colonial empires and without a technological or demographic advantage, we are in decline. The only thing going for Europe is the progressiveness and open societies, which allowed us to patch up demography with migrants, but even that is being attacked and lost.

Europe is going back to being irrelevant in global terms, which means economic decline and economic decline always leads to political instability and crazy people taking over with stupid solutions, but they always fail, because there isn’t enough growth to make people happy.

Best that can be done is slow the decline and spread the sacrifices with left policies, but inevitably incumbents will get punished and we get back to megalomaniac miracle cures that set us back again.

Maybe they could remove it from Obama (for not doing anything to earn it, before or after) so the annoying orange will finally be happy and do something for the allies for once.

“Made of” can mean “composed of” or “constructed from”. This is the latter:

Savor says they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heat them up, oxidize them and get a final result that looks like candle wax but is in fact fat molecules like those in beef, cheese or vegetable oils.

The entire process releases zero greenhouse gases, uses no farmland to feed cows, and despite its industrial appearance, has a significantly smaller footprint.

“In addition to the carbon footprint being much lower for a process like this, right, the land footprint is, like, a thousand times lower than what you need in traditional agriculture,”

Good example of how choice of words can mislead, particularly when intentional.

cost :/ and low energy conversion efficiency. Whereas expensive novelty edibles may have a high price, fuels, not so much.

Isn’t margarine hydrogenated oil? These guys made the oil, apparently.
