Korea and Germany are two examples of random lines being drawn and one side going all government (full communism) and the other side going only half government (socialist, aka half communism and half capitalism)
Criminals vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party, because it is the soft-on-crime party.
Therefore the obvious incentive of the Democratic Party is to maximize the number of criminals who can vote.
The Dems are also always pushing to allow all felons to vote in federal elections, because they know it helps them win. This is a fact, not conjecture.
One square mile on the surface receives ~2.5 Gigawatts of solar energy. That’s Gigawatts with a “G”. It’s ~30% higher in space. The Starlink global satellite network is entirely solar/battery powered.
Factoring in solar panel efficiency (25%), packing density (80%) and usable daylight hours (~6), a reasonable rule of thumb is 3GWh of energy per square mile per day. Easy math, but almost no one does these basic calculations.
Once you understand Kardashev Scale, it becomes utterly obvious that essentially all energy generation will be solar.
Also, just do the math on solar on Earth and you soon figure out that a relatively small corner of Texas or New Mexico can easily serve all US electricity.
