I think Japan being one of the richest and more advanced countries in the world, would seem ASBish in a lot of (plausible) timelines.
The USA going to the Moon 4 times and never returning or doing something interesting while it was there.
What is ASB about using fossil fuel? The only non-fossil fuel that is remotely efficient is nuclear power.
Well, obviously they should have COLONISED IT! Then Conquered Space!What, exactly, do you propose the US should have done with the moon?
Fallowing the same suit Poland without Lwów in it's borders would also be considered very strange.The german east-border at the Oder-Neisse. "Citys like Breslau and Stettin are now polish? Get real!"
What, exactly, do you propose the US should have done with the moon?
Hydroelectricity has already been mentioned. We can add windpower to that.
That is true, although the developement of those two things could have come into motion in the 19th century, way before fossil fuel and nuclear power were feasible. Especially thermoelectricity (which is not necessarily dependant upon the sun) still would be useful today.I call the fact that using solar or wind when fossil fuels and nuclear power is far,far cheaper inefficient.
That's true, but it's illogical in this case.Not developing something is much easier then developing something.![]()
Ever since Stanislav Petrov saved the world from nuclear annihilation by disbelieving his screens.Since when does the most logical consequence of something such as not wanting to blow yourself up by starting a war with someone who is certain to do so if war break out ASB?![]()
Except in very few locations windpower is damn near worthless. Solar and wind suffer from the same problem, the energy is both unreliable and diffuse.
Shouldn't that be one effectively divided between 3 nations, the other by a collection of nations? State and nation are interchangable.
Don't see how anybody with a knowledge of history can consider the differences between the two as ASB.
