Uhm, yes.

Yes they are.

There are limits to Lefty posturing and prancing…

Why? What is so important about renewables? Why should any green care whether the emission reductions are achieved by nuclear energy rather than renewables? Haven’t they got a planet to save?

Don’t be a

freakin’ buck-toothed hayseed. Leave your stupid fantasies and look at what’s actually going on in the world!

Yes, I think “green”

energy products in general are eventually doomed. Yes, it would be great to have unlimited power for little overall cost.

But there IS no “Sorcerer’s Stone” that gushes money; It’s an escapist fantasy to think we can spin straw into gold. Like in centuries past, alchemy just won’t save us! And we would be wise not to put our eggs in that particular basket.

And make no mistake, these “green” dreams are ALL just modern incarnations of alchemy. It won’t work, you know. Don’t believe in fairy tales…

Oh! So why

would they do that?

Germany’s cabinet on Wednesday approved putting on-reserve lignite-fired power plants back online from October until the end of March 2024, the economy ministry said, as a step to replace scarce natural gas this winter and avoid shortages.

Coal? Say the word!

I think Britain is

starting to wise up.

It’s amazing how being hungry and cold can do that, eh? Plus, there are HUGE national security issues in play.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced plans Monday to grant hundreds of fresh oil and gas licenses for companies to prospect for new reserves in the North Sea as part of a drive to make the country more energy self-sufficient and boost growth.

SOME parts of the US are just beginning to open their eyes

Energy Epic fail Hypocrisy

Honestly, if

you are not for nuclear power, you are NOT an environmentalist and you are a stinkin’ hypocrite!

Yeah, fill up the landfills with toxic and inefficient unrecycled (and unable to be recycled) solar panels and windmill blades! Then prance and preen and tell people that you are an environmentalist…

There IS no

energy transition!

And it’s not happening because it makes no economic sense!

THIS is a

pretty dang big deal!

This would be great, if it can scale up and be economical (unlike terrestrial solar, which totally sucks). This way, you avoid the battery weak link.

We’re a long way from the goal line, but… baby steps!
