  • Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

    This is one case where kicking the can down the road is the best option we really have, as long as we don’t stop working on the tech we need down said road. In a few hundred years we’ll probably have far better solutions, or a radically different lifestyle and technology than now. But we don’t have those now. And right now every little bit will help.

    Keep in mind we’ve only been industrial for what, a couple hundred years? Sequestering for equivalent to the entire span we’ve been causing the problem seems like a pretty good start.



  • Lego already makes shit all over the world. Look at the back of one of the big kits and there’s a wildly long list of countries of manufacture.

    They probably even make some parts here in the US.

    The problem is they have tons of parts, and only one or two factories making any given part (other than really common ones maybe). They would have to duplicate each individual mold to have wholly state-side supply. That’s where it becomes impractical.

    They would probably have to try to figure out what they were paying for each part from a different country of manufacture, and that would also be a nightmare.
