That's why Nuclear is never on the table for these types of people. All that does is produce clean energy, it doesn't dismantle the patriarchy.
You would think that - as something unlikely to turn a profit pretty much ever - nuclear would attract a few in that area. Its far more socialist than coal, and heckin more environmentally friendly.

The new [hot by politicians standards] Finnish pm is left wing and pro nuke . @JC put me onto this , its interesting. Shellenberger calls wind turbines" bird blenders " apparently they have been quite hard on bat populations in the Uk too

@jegga I've been following Mike Shellenberger for a while, he has a fascinating story around being part of the team that convinced the Obama administration to pump massive funding into renewable's like wind and solar and how they just didn't cut it, and even worse devastated local animal populations like birds who have never had to deal with avoiding giant blades swinging in their path.

@No-Quarter have you read this about turbines helping almost wipe out a bat species in the Uk? Theres one of his kind left.

Pretty easy when you've got a couple floating around, and have to support one of the most expensive builds to date in Olkiluoto 3.
15 years construction but will get them to 60% nuke

Its hard to find out the truth about anything today. Unfortunately money can sway the whole process. That's why the world have sunk a lot of money into these awful wind turbines.
But I do like the look of these mini nukes. And they can use up a lot of reprocessed so called nuclear waste
Nuclear waste is recyclable. Once reactor fuel (uranium or thorium) is used in a reactor, it can be treated and put into another reactor as fuel. In fact, typical reactors only extract a few percent of the energy in their fuel. -

The bomb at Hiroshima consumed about 0.7g of matter; less than the weight of a banknote. It's simply amazing.

wind turbines" bird blenders "
Whilst that is true of the big propeller type ones (which are inefficient for various reasons) small vertical axis ones are not for personal use. I have no idea why but birds can avoid them.

Classic victim blaming.

Flying around with your eyes closed is fcking dangerous. Idiots.

Stupidity. Or greed and corruption of Govts?
"Climate change is a real problem. It is man-made, and it will have negative consequences."
So lets send billions of dollars to a climate fund. But who gets this money?
I doubt if any Govt in the world believes this nonsense

People get sucked into all kinds of nonsense, unfortunately some people think admitting they were wrong will make them look more ridiculous than their beliefs already make them look.

@Bones I really wish they would highlight the work of all the climate scientists, or those who have planted trees, invented/designed things to clean up the earth, rather than the girl who flies from country to country to talk. I find it gross that there are actual experts who get zero airtime and she gets all the praise.
-
@Mokey It's pathetic. But so many people now won't listen to experts that it seems that what we have now is the science side of the argument trying to use utter bullshit like this as a gimmick to get morons on board who won't listen to facts. Like the dumbing down of politics and everything else. Pretty depressing that idiocracy is real.

Bloody hell, what an absolute sham this girl is turning out to be. I didn't even know Time had such an award, but surely there are younger people this year?
I know some younger ...
