As goes Europe, so goes Europe. American leftists will learn NOTHING from this very object lesson.
Win/solar electrical generation DOES NOT WORK.
Hydroelectric, coal, natural gas, Diesel, and nuclear DO work. Reliably, both as a standby and as a baseline source of generation of electric power.
And nuclear power CAN work, with the newer technology that has been developed. Thorium-fueled molten salt reactors eliminate very nearly every objection ever raised to older uranium-fueled light water reactors, and there is no, nada, zero, zilch chance that a “China Syndrome” situation with radioactive release could ever occur. So you could set the thorium nuclear reactor right in the middle of a populated area, eliminating the need for long transmission lines, likewise right next to the industrial centers that have huge demand for electrical power.
We should be starting construction of one new thorium-fueled molten salt reactor every week. In five years’ time we would be totally energy-independent by nuclear power generation ALONE. And in the cleanest way possible short of developing fusion power, an elusive dream that is always “thirty years away”.
n five years’ time we would be totally energy-independent by nuclear power generation ALONE.

You would think that in the highest positions of government, with their responsibility for the lives of millions, that you would have the “best and brightest”. Instead, it’s been glaringly apparent for some decades now, that we have the “worst and most stupid”.
DJT excluded as he’s the ONLY one who truly seems to care about the citizens of the country rather than lining his own pockets & power/control at any expense. Those we have in office now have made it clear they want us all dead (deomocide, working on no energy/food). Unfortunately, most people are unable to wrap their heads around this fact and unless and until they do, people will continue to die and America will cease to exist as founded, if it survives at all.
“thorium-fuelled molten salt reactors” do not now exist and probably never will, at least outside some research facility. Oak Ridge tried it and gave it up as a bad idea when they couldn’t make it work safely or reliably.
100% correct.
