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

[NNadir]

4. One of the features of antinukes is they don't notice that the planet is burning.

There isn't a "conspiracy" against nuclear energy. The ignorance of antinukes is quite openly expressed, and in some quarters, that coal dependent hellhole in Germany being an example, legally sanctioned.

If the trillions of dollars squandered on the reactionary impulse to make energy dependent on the weather were useful, the planetary atmosphere would not be collapsing.

As for zero sum bullshit, the vast sums squandered to tear the shit out of the wilderness for unsustainable solar and wind junk is an order of magnitude higher than the money wisely spent on nuclear energy. We are talking about a scale easily exceeding the GDP of India, a nation with more than one billion people in it.

Antinukes are not only scientifically illiterate; their ignorance extends to economic illiteracy as well.

As usual, the indifference to fossil fuels, access to which so called "renewable energy" depends rings out loudly every time an antinuke, including but not limited to "I'm not an antinuke" antinukes, everytime one of them opens their mouth.

The trillion dollar experiment in the reactionary fondness for solar and wind has played out and the dire results are in. All the chanting and sloganeering connected with and by this cult's adherents will not change the facts of the case. The planet is burning and the scale of death associated with fossil fuels, about which antinukes couldn't care less, is rising not falling.
