Remember the claim that the West was operating biolabs in Ukraine?

Every accusation is an admission…

Your opinion is not really appreciated here with the nuclear industry trying to capitalise on the renaissance that seems to be fashionable these days. But I fully agree with your assessment, China is of course building nuclear plants, but have also seen the light in the sense that they are building more renewable generation capacity than all other generation sources combined.

Nuclear will not make a full ‘come back’, literally no one in their right mind is going to invest in 15 year projects when grid connected battery capacity is tripling every 6 months.

Except nuclear does not scale, especially not downward. Because any safety measures that have become standard, are required also on the smaller reactors. Except there, they cost relatively more per kWh output when compared to large plants.

I don’t really see this going to work, renewables are continuing to become cheaper and cheaper, and do scale.

But, I’d like to be pleasantly surprised.

Meanwhile, he gets another shot at being in the news cycle. This is the mofo’s M.O.: say outrageous shit, end up in the news cycle for another 24 hours, so that your opponent is not in the news…

The Republicans are creating a whole group of voters who are the opposite of WOKE: Deliberately Uninformed with Misguided Beliefs (DUMB). And it’s contagious, as being DUMB spreads like wildfire under right wing voters.

The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.

This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the 'conservative' movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?

Also, the Murdochs are known to fan out the EV bullshit that is being sold these days via their channels.

It's only a matter of time before driving an EV is considered woke.

True, but that you can also largely influence by defensive driving. When I rode 80 tkm a year for 15 years I’ve literally seen everything but was never part of it.

Of course, the biggest security feature is sitting in the drivers seat.

Yes, all on board (except for the airbag) in my 1992 Benz.

Peak car was 1990-1994, largely mechanical, little electronics and reliable as hell. My Merc from that time is built like a tank and everything is screwed together, not glued.
