The excuse for government to take over the means of production, which has always been a marxist goal.
He looks like a Sith Lord.
But with a difference. Old school Commies intended to run the means of production. Greenies intend to eliminate them.
New York State is declining rapidly. Its politicians have embraced policies such as no bail and deincarceration that have caused crime to run rampant, passed laws and regulations that have severely inhibited economic growth, construction and mining.The judiciary and law enforcement is a joke. A fully functioning, reliable nuclear power plant was shut down. Office towers remain largely vacant and the banking system is carrying huge amounts of non performing bad loans and mortgages. Decent, rational people who can are leaving the state. The state is controlled by schizophrenics
Soooooo.... is this guy transitioning and why does anyone what to know.
Basically the ivory tower is saying that if the electric grid collapses all the better. Ivy league professors, talk about luxury existences. I guess they’re betting on government to take care of them when the world goes south.
Those who cannot do, teach.
“Cornell on Fire has emphasized the need to reduce energy use: why is the grid unquestioningly delivering luxury consumption and approving constant expansion, for instance, rather than ensuring that we have clean energy to meet basic needs first . . .”
The man has a plan. Ration electrical usage to the capabilities of the ‘clean energy’ grid. There was an analysis of what it would take to convert England to clean energy. Simple: move everyone to small high rise apartments, no private transportation, limit food production to plants. Central control of temperature in all housing.
All single family housing converted to multifamily use. Everyone would get a meat allocation on their birthdays. Air travel limited to 30 flights per day from English airports. Families could take one or two flight in their lives.
It’s not just rhetoric to say that these nuts are dangerous. They’ve got to be removed from any and all positions of influence or power… whatever it takes.
They knew exactly what they were voting for.
Or the means of transmission.
It only just occurred to me but if they’re serious about this, they should tear down/deactivate the transmission lines that deliver the electricity. Talk about reducing demand! That would do it!
Isn’t there a new, large, semiconductor facility (or other high tech plant) setting up shop in NY? If so, stupid decision that should be reversed.
The “radical solutions” always make rich people richer, everybody else poorer, and gives more power to governments and reduces liberty to individuals.
This is not a coincidence.
“ I suspect we can all agree that (1) no one can afford the costs of irreversible climate breakdown; (2) any costs to current stakeholders must be weighed against costs to future generations of life; (3) there is a real and urgent need to change our lifestyles and “business as usual”; and (4) the climate crisis is such that there is “no nonradical future” . . . .”
If every government on earth confiscated every penny beyond bare subsistence from every person and spent it all on climate, they could not affect the global temperature by one degree or the sea level by an inch.
Prove me wrong.
Valid question, but let me ask you this regarding the often-mention power consumption of tech like cloud servers and AI servers and such: I bet one AI facility doesn't consume nearly as much power as a government office. The best way to save energy would be to reduce government.
“He looks like a Sith Lord.”
He did remind me of Mark Hamill at first glance.
Looks like he’s been perfessering for his entire career.
Great CV there.
