  • WW2 bombing was much less accurate, and hence more indiscriminate. We see a clear pattern here of targetting energy infrastructure over a long course of time, which in theory should disrupt things like R&D and defense production. Whilst you are likely correct about impact being short lived of each strike, the timescale and specivity of it is unprecedented I believe, likely leading to a much more effective campaign than 85 years ago wrt to military objectives. I'm sure that the people are also now so long suffering (The London Blitz was 9 months or so, Russia has hit Ukraine each winter for the past 3 years) that I'd be curious to know about resolve vs weariness vs preparedness

    Has there been any other targetted prolonged campaign that we know of for a more direct comparison that we know of? Military history junkies are going to have a literal field day when the war ends, there are so many lessons and learnings to be had

  • Sadly a commercial flop. Didn't generate enough, cost a lot, and maintenance was a nightmare too. Sea water and conditions destroy basically everything, it is rather phenomenal

    Underwater tidal turbines showing potential, if we do want to harness sea power. Floating turbines looking to be actually viable though, and less invasive on the maritime environment
