  1. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    IOTL, Japanese government and businesses invested a lot in energy efficiency technology during the 1970s oil crisis, with success. For example, Japan is able produce steel with like 20 percent less fuel than American producers on average. This could have been replicated in the West, or at least...
  2. The Plantagenet Succession

    And where is this guy?
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    If Calbear really wants to fix it, he could say it's this Georgetown. Or maybe this one, though that'd mean the bombers went way out of their way.
  4. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    PDF's are really easy on this forum; just click the "Attach files" button below the post window. (You could also upload it to some file sharing site if you really want, but why bother?)
  5. The Plantagenet Succession

    In OTL the Grey family continued for some time, in fact to comparatively recent times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Stamford
  6. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    @Caledon, how is that a left field possibility? It seems extremely plausible to me. But the material thing could be a problem. Does that require plastic? And as for nuclear power, it'd be nice if everyplace uses nuclear power except for the places at high risk of earthquakes and tsunamis, like...
  7. Lutheran Henry VIII

    A friendship between two people is a pretty minor thing. Let's say Luther and Henry VIII became friends (Luther tried to amicably approach him OTL), and this lead to Lutheran Henry VIII. How would this affect England's destiny as a nation?

    followed by the US freeing them, and 2nd that heavy crude from Venezuela was not ideal for reforming into gasoline, but more for heating oil/diesel

    Der Kampf: The Rise and Fall of the Austrian Führer

    If so, then it'd be TTL version of IOTL German Anschluss?
  10. Alternate warships of nations

    Glassford did ok with the tactical command of the Asiatic Fleet, until the ABDA command screwed the pooch, IMO he could have done ok at Guadacanal. Biggest Issue in my opinion is Crace did not put anyone else in command while he was gone. Actually the 3 American cruisers should have had a...

    AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    ethanol destroys natural materials like leather used in fuel pumps, rubber fuel lines, and shellac coated cork floats in carburetor bowls At the time, you could have materials that were resistant to Gasoline, or to Alcohol This was still a problem in the 1970s when Gasohol was introduced.
  12. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    This is exactly what happened in France OTL. They relied heavily on foreign oil before the 1973 shock, after which the Prime Minister decided that France would go 100% nuclear. They never quite made it there, but 70% of France's electricity production is nuclear even today after Fukushima...
  13. WI: Queen Elizabeth II was gay

    Yeah, she never would come out. She grew up on time when homosexuality was terrified thing and crime. If she would come out quiet early, she would be enforced to abdicate and then her sister Margaret would become queen. So even if EII would be gay, we never would know and she woudl still marry...
  14. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    On the subject of the Carrie musical, getting a different director would have helped save so many headaches in regards to it. Had they gotten someone who understood the concept of an American secondary school as a setting, that probably would have solved a lot of problem in it there and then.
  15. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    Why wouldn't you build more railways? It's utility was immediately obvious to all in regards of hauling freight cheaply and quickly inland. Airships simply can't compete on the ton-mile costs. Plus, the technology of railways arose before that of airships. You'd need to re-write history to...

    Der Kampf: The Rise and Fall of the Austrian Führer

    So, since Verschmelzung roughly translates to Merger, I suppose Social-Nationalist Austria will annex Hungary?
  17. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Okay, PDF ready. How do you dudes, dudettes, and dudes-other want to get this? I don't actually know how to upload a PDF to the internet, it's not something I've ever done before.
  18. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    A tram is cheaper than a HSR, which is my point. It might be workable in Japan , it is basically a huge city, but that isn't the US. It just doesn't have that kind of population density. Even the NEC looks like Wyoming next to Japan.
