Carbon Capture With Solar and Wind: One Doesn't Often See Perpetual Motion Machines in the Scientific Literature, but...

2. It's not about nuclear energy.

from the post:

"The purpose of the reactionary impulse to make our energy supplies on the weather, abandoned for a reason in the late 19th and early 20th century for a reason, precisely at the time we have destabilized the weather with dangerous fossil fuel waste, was always, is always, and always will be about attacking the only clean sustainable form of primary energy there is: Nuclear energy."

Actually no. Solar and Wind energy is about using abundant and free sources of energy with zero emissions to avoid climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. It has nothing to do with nuclear energy; that's just a different solution, but NOT the only solution. There is no Zero-sum competition between Nuclear vs Solar/Wind. The idea that there is some conspiracy against Nuclear Energy is paranoid and frankly, unhinged. It appears to be motivated by resentment that more Nuclear plants aren't being built, but that is due to the enormous capital costs of such projects, which requires government subsidy and extraordinary safety regulation. There is no reason to blame renewable energy for the failures of nuclear energy. Just fix it or get over it.
