<p>You suggest buying 100 million metric ton of aluminium when the global annual production is 70 million. And magically you'll get it delivered as a pre-installed global power grid as opposed to ingots.<p>Just like when you go for a cup of coffee at a cafe and you only pay the commodity price of coffee beans, which at like $5 per kg and 20 grams of coffee per cup means a cup at starcucks is just 10cents. Right?</p>

<p>>"If we buy nuclear power plants on Temu we can have a 1GW reactor for $1000, but most likely it will be on sale (lucky us!) so it's actually more like $400 per reactor. And if we use green thorium then the fuel is $2.50 for ten years"<p>I reconstructed your argument to be in favor of nuclear power, and because I mentioned Temu as a source it actually have an infinite amount of more ties to reality than your story did.<p>Wow no wonder people like to argue for green energy if it's this easy to make up arguments for it</p>

<p>>clearly not what you were implying by saying it is a minority of scans.<p>It is exactly what I was saying. And I say this because I work in a hospital with several non-preggo ultrasound labs that are booked overtime. To achieve the same load of pregnancy scans the hospital would need to hire more OB-staff for scanning and the region would need a TFR of 25.</p>

<p>Through the temporal bone of most people you can catch some sparse doppler signals with average hospital gear.<p>The fontanelles enable good ultrasound imaging on an entirely different level. A highres greyscale image vs a few sparse blobs of doppler from major vessels.</p>

<p>A commercial medical ultrasound imaging device in doppler mode can pick up and map onto the image plane some of the vessels in the brain through the skulls. But mostly just through the temporal bones(where the skulls is like 1-2mm thick). (The commercial machines run doppler on lower frequency than imaging signal so you get no s tructural image this way, only the color doppler map(unless you find a place in the skull where an emissary vein passes through the bone table where the image signal can ride through))</p>
