Kiln drying is an interesting idea to speed it up and prevent premature rot, but might offset some of the carbon impact since most industrial kilns use fossil fuels directly or upstream if electric.
Maybe it would be more effective to drop wet lumber off in the desert for a few years by rail before moving the dry lumber to permanent underground storage. This assumes two stages of transport to and from the desert would cost less carbon than transport to a kiln and then to storage.
I’m not convinced that the wood even needs to be dried before burying, though.
> Canada. Even Quebec, which insists on doing everything in French.
Quebec would be the one place in Canada where you’re expected to do business in French. Maybe New Brunswick? Even right across the river in Ottawa you’d have no reason to use French in any official capacity.
Sure, you might want a FR/EN selector at the top of your site since Quebec is a big market (within Canada).
The corn laws were interesting. They were tarrifs on food imports, supported by the land owners.
> the repeal of the Corn Laws benefitted the bottom 90% of income earners in the United Kingdom economically, while causing income losses for the top 10% of income earners.
Obviously it’s not hard to see why the wealthiest like tarrifs.
This is a response to decades of poor planning in an appropriately compromised way. Ideally, big chunks of low density California should be bulldozed and be rezoned to be more like Paris or Amsterdam, but this will have to do.
