    Ellie Chambers forgot to mention the uranium mining, refining, and enrichment process when talking about the dirtiness of nuclear.

    The US achieved the first fusion reaction not long ago. Give us 15-25 years, we will contain, and harness it.

      Y'all been saying that every decade for the last 80 years. It's never gonna happen. Laws of thermodynamics means there's no free lunch.

    Exporters benefit from dollar strength. Why would any sane person want to contract in South African Rand for example? 🤣 🍿

    No, civilization is a heat engine regardless of how it is powered. Citation: Tim Garrett, et. al.
    Humans need to divest from energy-based technologies altogether.

    Renewables are seven-fold: It's more than just solar and wind; it's also hydro, tidal, wave, geothermal, and gravity, with compressed air, pumped hydro, and flywheels for storage, no batteries necessary.

      Only Biomass, Water and geothermal are working without batteries. All limited. What are you talking about gravity energy.

      @@leon_noel1687 Do you know how a grandfather clock works? That's what I'm talking about. Biomass is not renewable, as it's consumed faster than it can regenerate. It takes years to grow a tree that can be cut down in seconds and burned in minutes.

    See all that steam coming from the cooling towers? Water vapor is a greenhouse gas. Imagine thinking that splitting the atom to boil water is going to cool the planet. Glorified overcomplicated tea kettles, that's all these facilities are.

      You don't know what youre talking about. Water vapor in that amount has no effect on the climate.
