NUCLEAR POWER.
IT DOESN'T CARE IF THE SUN'S SHINING OR THE WIND'S BLOWING.
IT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES FULL OF COBALT OR LITHIUM DUG UP BY CONGOLESE CHILD SLAVES IN CHINESE-OWNED MINES.
AND IT HAS LOWER LIFETIME GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN SOLAR, AND ABOUT THE SAME AS WIND.
IT'S NOT EVIL DEVIL MAGIC. IT'S METAL THAT GETS HOT AND BOILS WATER TO MAKE STEAM THAT TURNS TURBINES.
THERE'S NO SMOKE. THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THE COOLING TOWER IS JUST STEAM.
NUCLEAR PRODUCES AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES LESS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION THAN COAL WHICH CONTAINS TRACE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS WHICH GO INTO THE AIR WHEN BURNED.
NUCLEAR POWER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL NUCLEAR WASTE IS CONTAINED, AND NO NUCLEAR WASTE CASKET HAS EVER LEAKED IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER.
NUCLEAR POWER IS SAFE.
IT'S EFFECTIVE.
IT DOES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN COAL, OR EVEN WIND AND SOLAR WHICH REQUIRE A FUCK TON OF LAND AND TOXIC METALS FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DEAL WITH.
NUCLEAR POWER IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A PERFECT ENERGY SOURCE THE HUMAN SPECIES HAS EVER DISCOVERED.
WE'VE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE 1950S. IF WE EMBRACED IT FROM THE START, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY. WE COULD HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING WE EVER WANTED, ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONVENIENCE WE'RE CONSTANTLY SHAMED FOR TODAY.
BUT WE SAID NO.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AS A SPECIES?
ARE WE FUCKING RETARDED?
If I was giving someone over 3 billion dollars a year, and I told them not to do something, and they went ahead and did it anyway, I would simply stop giving them over 3 billion dollars every year.
@ItsLulu_7 Ok under your socialism I work hard every day. I don't want to pay any taxes though, because I should keep what my labor produced.
People who don't labor don't pay taxes either, so they should receive no capital unless they work.
Is that how your system works?
The government "fixed" healthcare & prices skyrocketed
The government "fixed" education & learning nose-dived as administrative salaries grew
The government "fixed" financial crises, & printed money stole your purchasing power
We keep asking the arsonist to put out the fire
Snowden gets it. The fear of libertarians makes no sense unless what you actually fear is losing control over others.
The whole point is consent. Voluntary exchange, voluntary association, voluntary life.
If that terrifies you, maybe the problem isn’t libertarianism. Maybe it’s how comfortable you’ve become with coercion.
🚨Former President Jimmy Carter reveals the truth in 2007: 'The Israeli lobby (AIPAC) has nothing to do with peace. Its only mission is to ensure unconditional American support for everything the Israeli government demands.'"
The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out:
The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922.
That’s 104 years ago.
Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages.
So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.
The President’s Big Beautiful Bill, the Iran War, and Republican spending bills will create a $2 trillion budget DEFICIT in 2026.
Financing just the new debt costs more than all federal road & bridge projects, and we will be making those new interest payments each year, forever.
The words "climate change" do not simply refer to the idea that the Earth is getting warmer or cooler.
The Earth is always getting warmer or cooler. Sometimes there were ice ages. Sometimes there were hippopotami in the Thames.
No, the words "climate change" are something more. They are a political slogan.
They do not merely mean that the world is getting warmer right now.
They also mean that this is necessarily a bad thing. That it is your personal fault if you are White and live in America or Europe, but not if you are brown and live in India or China. That you must give up technology your ancestors enjoyed, and pay more taxes so that California can spend 132 billion dollars on 100 meters of rail.
"Climate change" means treating a slow, inevitable, and natural process as a perpetual crisis requiring perpetual money.
This is nothing but a perpetual grift, where the politically connected swear the ice caps are melting, fly around in private jets to tell you about it, then collect your money to buy beachfront property.
