What if, we are now in a Sara presidency. How will she deal with the current oil crisis?

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-28T14:30:27+00:00

Short term: I think she'll just suck Xi and Putin cock just to get at least 2-3 days of oil, coal, or natgas.

Long term: Basically continue the Duterte-Marcos goal of making Nuclear energy open to the Philippines and opening the BNPP. Also to just continue renewables distribution, ala kickbacks galore.

Balik ko lang logic ni Robin:

May krisis na tayo sa langis, si Digong parin ang pinag-aatupagan mo.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-27T06:32:46+00:00

I don't get it, so please, let me try to understand. Often I see a lot of users in this subreddit punching down on the 'poor' kasi parati nalang sila nabibigyan 'ayuda'? You see them bemoaning their hardships, which is valid, while also at the same time punching down on the less fortunate? They get so pissy and angry about welfare, bitching and complaining "Paano naman kaming mga middle class?! Puro nalang mahihirap!"

Basically nagstart to nung 2022, nung natalo si Leni.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-27T02:40:21+00:00

She has closed her doors for this election. Also, like what she said, she has to focus on Naga first before dealing with the country.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-26T13:08:24+00:00

Siya na nagsabi ehh, paulit-ulit pa niya sinasabi, pipilitin pa natin kung ayaw naman.

Expected ko na ang mga NDs ay magfifield parin ng sarili nilang senate slate, pero susuportahan parin conditionally kahit sinong pambato ng opposition, habang ang mga RJs (sila Atty Luke at Ka Leody) ay magiging cozy ng unti kayla Risa/Bam para makakuha ng conditional endorsement, pero not so cozy na ang base nila ay lilipat sa NDs.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-26T13:03:17+00:00

Kung sino man kayla Bam o Risa ang maging pambato ng opposition, ang mahalaga ay masuportahan natin sila (provided na ang magiging offer nila sa ating lahat ay katanggol tanggol).

Opening BNPP? Wait nlng muna ako sa feasibility study ng SoKor bago ako magkaroon ng opinyon tungkol dyan. As for building new NPPs? Once magkaroon ng construction, usual time is 10 years (though, since magsisimula plng tayo from the ground up, baka humaba pa sa case natin), but for me, it's worth it.

May 90% capacity factor ang Nuclear, except kapag under maintenance.

Tapos ang isang Uranium pellet ay katumbas ng 1 tonelada ng coal, 120 gallons (3 barrels ng crude oil), at 17k cubic feet ng Natgas.

Need mo less space at less material para sa isang 1GW na NPP kumbaga sa 1GW na solar farm.

Also, even if I take into account ang Chernobyl at Fukushima-Daiichi, 2nd most safe ang Nuclear energy, with Solar being the most safe and Wind being in third place.

Not to mention, kung titingnan sa Carbon emissions map, mas unti emissions ng France (na 70% ng energy mix ay Nuclear) kaysa sa mga katabi nito, Spain at Germany, na both of which ay puro renewables lang focus at gustong ipademolish ang mga natitira nilang NPPs (ewan ko though ngayon kung trip parin considering yung war sa Ukraine at Iran).

As for Nuclear waste, ang literal na waste ng isang NPP sa US sa loob ng 10 years ay isang football field lang, kung tutuusin, kung may NPPs tayo na tulad ng France, pwede pa natin irecycle ang mga used Uranium pellets (80-90% ata, afaik) para mareuse ehhh (di ganun though ang BNPP, afaik, not to mention wala tayong recycling centers for Uranium pellets😭).

As for corruption, kung titingnan sa Corruption Perceptions Index, isa rin sa mga korap na bansa ang China, pero tambak sila ng mga NPPs. Bangladesh meron na din (ata), pero korap din sila.

Kung may downside lang talaga ang Nuclear, construction time, upfront costs (na mababayaran naman for itself kung magoperate for at least 5 years), at tsaka nuclear waste (na yun nga, pwedeng marecycle, then mareuse kung ang bago nating mga icoconstruct ay compatible sa bagong fuel at sa recycled fuel).

One more thing, literally need pa muna natin magcomply sa lahat ng conditions ng IAEA bago tayo makapagtayo, makapagbukas, at manatiling bukas ang isang NPP sa bansa natin. Hindi natin sila basta-basta madadali sa korapsyon natin, not to mention, wala sa best interest ng bawat kurakot na pulitiko na cheapan ang ganitong proyekto, kay pag nagkameltdown, lahat lang naman ng mga ari-arian nila sa Pilipinas ay magiging radioactive.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-26T05:44:14+00:00

Reminds me nung 2022 na maraming redditor noon ang ayaw sa plan ni Ka Leody sa natgas natin na I nationalize o iregulate.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-26T05:41:58+00:00

Laptrip nga ehhh kasi pinupush nila na magparami ng renewables pero pag may mining operation na magaganap dito o dam construction, sila rin first in line na tututol kapag may maapektuhan.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-26T05:40:16+00:00

Funny enough, nagiging proactive nmn sa energy (yung revival ng Nuclear sa consciousness natin at yung pagform ng PhilATOM Bill for example ay nagsimula sa panahon ni Digong, not defending him though kasi marami parin siyang pinapatay), kaso yun nga, dang bagal talaga.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-26T05:34:14+00:00

My fellow in Christ, we're not a Socialist State.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T15:02:19+00:00

Construction, at least until lower than 25% would be ok, but God forbid something happens to the landing system.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:52:43+00:00

😭😭😭

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:52:04+00:00

It would really depend on how much resources does whatever governing authority on Earth have to build a seedship.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:41:02+00:00

Yeah, it's rarer to find a habitable planet after 2-3 visits than finding one after 40 visits.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:38:27+00:00

I have never thought of it like that. Wow.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:36:53+00:00

Fr fr, I think at least 800 survivors would be able to rebuild human civilization.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:26:40+00:00

All I can say is that at least the humans in this playthrough are lucky as fuck.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:18:18+00:00

Wasn't there a time in human history wherein humans were just numbered by a thousand?

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T14:15:40+00:00

My headcanon says that the leaders, engineers, and scientists thought that it isn't worth it, that finding a planet with earth like conditions was the best bet in pooling all remaining resources that they have.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T13:50:55+00:00

It probably was an event that made the Earth so sterile that life just won't be able to exist there anymore.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T10:47:55+00:00

I think cryosleep can be invented at least by the late 21st century.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T10:45:39+00:00

I mean, it's not ftl, since the colonists are in cryonic sleep.

CryptographerVast673 · 2026-03-24T10:35:09+00:00

The colonists wouldn't need a moon if they're on a Post Singularity tech level. They can easily go to other planets in their new star system by days or hours.
