Anti public sector messaging from yesteryear always throws me for a loop
In the new electric age–as always–people will benefit most when served by companies
…Uh huh
Whatever you say, newspaper ad. That future sure came to fruition, eh?
700 dead Texans can’t be wrong! 😬
Exxon mobil approves this message
They had such high hopes for us back in the day. I only wish we could’ve been who they thought we’d be, and even more.
This appears to literally be an ad if you read the last lines.
I did indeed read the entire thing. I was talking about the mindset of the generation at that period were thinking the future was going to be so so bright and advanced.
Doubling prices maybe
I’m more interested in the magic transparent insulation. Warm enough to sunbathe on one side, cold enough for snow on the other side, and no melting? Not only that, but it appears to be paper thin and extremely light because it’s supported by thin metal tubes.
Sure, with massive amounts of electrical heating you could make a heated plastic dome. But, you’d also melt all the snow nearby. There would be little rivers of melted water all around.
This dome is basically a perfect greenhouse, and is way beyond what we can currently achieve with cold-weather greenhouse technology.
Kinda makes me interested in greenhouse technology. I think you sent me down another rabbit hole
Man I really love the green house pool that actually seems like that would make sense.
But, also the description saying that electricity will move our houses hour to hour… LoL no, no way moving the whole house all the time is efficient for anything

I’m more interested in the electric machine that will make the bed and fold it into the wall! What a broken tech-future promise :(
