I’ve noticed something very strange going on. Every single energy proposal that doesn’t address oil as the main source, is resoundly trashed here.

It's probably because most of the ridiculous "alternatives" can't past either the economically feasible test, or violate the second law of thermodynamics, D-1... The oil company's dark conspiracy has NOT reached into the souls of FReepers who demand reality in alternative energy proposals... don't worry!!! There you go... this just has to be about me and those big dastardly oil companies, it couldn't be about anything else could it. I don't come here and rail on the oil companies for windfall profits. I give them very little grief for not opening new refineries. I don't trash them all that much for closing down to rework the formulas driving up costs year after year after year. So don't go there Ace.

We just like physics, chemistry and other scientifically tested theories, rather than the baseless barrage of dreamy alternatives the simply won't do as flexible and safe and all-around feasable job as hydrocarbons, ok??? So that's why you're on a thread on the topic of nuclear energy and taking me to task because I made a point you are proving valid.

Some of us also feel the same way about "Big Pharma" and all the other "BIG's!" They bees big because they help people live better lives, by and large!!! (Oh! And they keep productive people actually employed, too!!!) I have defended Big Pharmaceutical houses here for over ten years. I didn't talk down to folks to do it. I also didn't take folks to task who had been doing the same thing.
