Straight Line of the Day: How Can We Recycle All The Sustainable Energy Waste?
A Follow-Up on a Sour Not-So-Green Clean Up in Sweetwater
Hot Air | 07/09/2026 | Beege WelbornBy 2050, the estimated total boundary area required for 1.5 million wind turbines is expected to reach 3.1 to 4.6 million square kilometers – the combined size of India and Argentina.
The obvious question regarding this transition—with its towering turbine skeletons, virtually indestructible composite blades, and billions of solar panels—is this: Just where will all this metal, silicon and concrete be buried?
Probably throw in a few battery-powered everythings, as well.

Straight Line of the Day: What Can We Do With a Strange New Quantum State?
Physicists create a strange new quantum state called a fractional fermi sea
ScienceDaily | June 29, 2026 | University of InnsbruckResearchers have shown that ultracold atoms can be driven into a strange new quantum state called a fractional Fermi sea, where particles organize themselves in unexpected ways. The discovery points to a new phase of matter that goes beyond established quantum theories and could expand the possibilities of quantum simulation…
The newly created state displays several unusual characteristics. Mathematical correlations between particles reveal pronounced ripples, known as Friedel oscillations, along with distinctive decay behavior across all levels of repulsive interactions.
Perhaps most importantly, the state exhibits properties that differ from those expected for Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids, which have long served as the standard description of one-dimensional quantum matter.
Straight Line of the Day: What Do You Do When Your Debt Exceeds 100% of Your Income?
Debt Exceeds 100% of GDP
CBO.gov | Feb 2026 | CBOThe Federal Budget Deficits are large by historical standards. The deficit totals $1.9 trillion in fiscal year 2026 and grows to $3.1 trillion in 2036. Relative to the size of the economy, the deficit is 5.8 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2026 and increases to 6.7 percent in 2036. Deficits averaged 3.8 percent of GDP over the last 50 years (see Chapter 1).
More like see Chapter 11.
Debt held by the public rises from 101 percent of GDP in 2026 to 120 percent in 2036, well above the previous record of 106 percent just after World War II.
Outlays are large by historical standards—and growing. They total 23.3 percent of GDP in 2026, exceeding their 50-year average of 21.2 percent. After being adjusted for shifts in the timing of certain payments, outlays remain at about that level through 2028 but then grow steadily, boosted by rising spending on mandatory programs and increasing net interest costs.
So, two more years to continue to party hearty.
Suggestions: no more high-speed trains. And cut back on Mamdani-tory spending.
