Popular Post Jud Posted September 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2019 I don't see nukes as that feasible here due to huge capital costs and NIMBY. I''d also like to have a better idea if there are reactor designs that don't leave long half-life products, can't use or be used for weapons grade material, can be operated long enough to pay back the huge investment, won't turn parts of the buildings they're housed in into long half-life material, and can be economically decommissioned. Oh, and can be built in time. I have a feeling that's a very tall order. Something that no one's mentioned is saving on the conservation side to limit generation needs. Things as simple as retrofitting housing and other buildings with better insulation would give local folks decent jobs (either private or subsidized by govt for employees and/or consumers) and cut down power and fuel needs for heating and cooling.

If you do, you should discover that it was David Rockefeller (the grand daddy of US globalism) and his globalist buddies who in I think 1978 at Rockefeller's vacation home in Rome conceived of the idea of creating a global crisis that the entire world could rally around and contribute their resources to. They called it Global Warming. If you do your research there, you should easily discover why they did it (it ain't pretty) and why some of you are evidence that their strategy is working rather well. Maybe then you can fast forward to 2009 and google ClimateGate and there you should discover that some of you have been duped for decades (by scientists no less) and there you'll also discover why overnight they ceased using the phrase Global Warming and now use the phrase Climate Change. And if you think all this is joke, why not spend a few moments to research what some of the globalists' ultimate goals are. Try googling Georgia Guidestones and there you'll see in 10 languages the globalists 10 tenets / suggestions for mother earth. I know, I know. Some of you are thinking I'm just another nutty conspiracy theorist but that's not true at all. I'm just smarter than some of you. I see you've reposted the photo Dinesh D'Souza used on Twitter. He started his career having his student publication shut down by his college for anti-Semitic articles; moved on to being removed as head of a Christian college for unethical behavior; and topped things off by committing federal election fraud. So obviously a reliable moral and factual guide to the issues of our day. semente and christopher3393 1 1 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

It is more the petulant child who will school the adults on how things not need to be done, but must be done that rubs me the wrong way. She follows the IPCC summary about how we have to reduce emissions by 50% in the next 30 or so years to keep the warming at 1.5 to 2 degrees C. The next part is after that we have to be at zero emissions and/or start removal of carbon from the atmosphere on a large scale. I've got bad news for you. That latter part at least isn't going to happen. I don't see a viable way to achieve that in such a time frame. So Greta Thunburg lays down the law about what we must do. Says she isn't going to work in science as we already know what we need to do we simply have to stop emissions. Well a child can think that way. It isn't a winning formula for how to do it. I also think she has been scared beyond reason about her future being stolen. And yes I know what the future possibilities are in regards to what the IPCC report says can happen. Making the bulk of the world effectively uninhabitable by humans is dire. But that isn't in the cards for Greta Thunberg's lifetime. There are theoretical ways to achieve what is needed, but given the political nature of the world I fear it effectively cannot happen that quickly. You always have a hard time convincing people to radically in very short time frames alter what they do for a future effect many alive won't experience all that much, and which doesn't become a total disaster until they are are gone. No matter how certain it is. I still remember when the air was brown and much of the natural water was polluted like a sewer (or worse). There has been excellent progress made in those the last 50 years. The changes for that were much smaller than required to stop man made contributions to global warming. Yet it was a hard sale at the time. Puts me in mind of a couple of things: Kennedy saying we should go to the moon "not because it is easy, but because it is hard;" and the old GE engineers'(?) slogan, "The difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes a little longer." Plainly, saying we're not going to achieve lofty goals isn't a great way to motivate people to try. I'm more inclined toward "Dammit, let's do this or go down fighting!" than concentrating on how difficult or perhaps impossible it might be. And any 16 year old, let alone one as motivated and with as blunt a manner as Ms. Thunberg, might well react with anger to repeatedly being told the previous generations have screwed things up so irretrievably that she must allow us to continue comfortably sliding toward hell rather than try to fix anything.

Sad to say this, because I share the goal and try to do my part as I see it, but I think the response to this came from a hokey old US TV show called Dragnet. Dragnet was a show about Police Sergeant Joe Friday (told you it was hokey) bringing miscreants to justice every week. Friday's character specialized in a less sophisticated version of the acerbic one-liners Clint Eastwood and then Arnold Schwartzenegger would go on to make much more famous. One week I happened to turn to it as Friday was interviewing a generic leftist longhaired hippie troublemaker type. The hippie was passionately protesting that his actions were intended to bring about a future more perfect world. Sgt. Friday (deadpan, acerbic): "Can't have a perfect world." Mr. Hippie (outraged, impassioned): "Why not?!" Sgt. Friday (deadpan, acerbic): "No perfect people." Mr. Hippie: Visibly deflated silence. The Internet is only the latest of a long line of technologies and institutions that were supposed to make us better educated, better off, and better behaved.
