What we need are global mandates for a consistent and non-varying wind speed and elimination of clouds.

When our power goes out, how will we hear of all the wonderful green energy stories?…

Green Energy is real when U-Haul announces that their entire fleet nationwide is all EV. Until then, the infrastructure does not exist to go EV.

Every small state should build at least one nuclear power plant. Bigger states two or three. California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania should build five. States with cities in the top 25 largest cities, should have more dedicated to that city.

If we wanted to reduce CO2 the natural progression would be to exploit our massive reserves of natural gas. Natural gas has the lowest carbon footprint of all fossil fuels. We have plenty but the Federal Government puts up road blocks to exploiting any hydrocarbon fuels. At the same time we should expand nuclear power. It should be noted that France is 68% nuclear. They got it right.

It should also be noted their is no correlation between global warming and CO2 levels despite the “science being settled.” It is not settled. Geologically speaking we are currently in a CO2 shortage in the atmosphere. CO2 is plant food. When CO2 is high life flourishes on earth. When it is low, life perishes.

The “global warming advocates can not tell us why we have ice ages and brief warming periods between ice ages at which time the icecaps melt. It is probably due to orbital mechanics and variation in the axis of the earth. This has happened many times before man walked the earth. But, they are certain our present climate is a function of CO2. They are not scientists. They are charlatans.

The icecaps may melt or we could be in a brief warming period in an ice age. We do not know. If the caps melt, man will slowly retreat from the shore over thousands of years. Florida will mostly become a shallow reef and damn the fishing there will be good!

Man has little to do with global warming!

I wrote my research paper, in college, advocating for nuclear power.
I’m for using all means that can succeed without government intervention.

Explaining CO2 to the layperson is painful to say the least.
Most people seem to be blind followers, especially women.

I do electrical distribution design, and the future will be painful without course correction.
Exactly zero of the goals will meet projected timelines and costs.
It will continue to get worse with the promotion of non whites, females, and non engineers into management positions.

Get yourself the SAS Survival Guide by John “Lofty” Wiseman…

[Was she hot? Crazy?]

She probably was a Tiny Dancer; small carbon footprint.

OTOH, she may have been an Island Girl; standing 6’3”.

Then she might have had a larger carbon footprint; volcanic temper.

I have a bumper sticker for which I paid $20 at the Atlanta airport back about ‘76

“A little Nookie Never Hurt Any One”

Small and safe Nuclear will end up being the power source
