Europe has an energy crisis. Factories are halting operations in the face of soaring energy prices; families are paying 50% more for heating (or opting to freeze in their homes), and Europe as a whole continues to destabilize its political position by making itself dependent on Russia for natural gas.
Europe shows what happens when you adopt policies based on false ideas—myths about energy that all but guarantee high prices, power blackouts, and a crashing economy. Here are 6 of them:
Myth 1. The world is transitioning to solar, wind and batteries
Myth 2. Solar and wind are the best way of lowering emissions
Myth 3. Solar farms reduce household utiity bills.
Myth 4. Nuclear power is dangerous
Myth 5. Nuclear waste is a big problem
Myth 6. Electric vehicles reduce CO2 emissions

Some people actually think that it’s smoke and pollution.
Hmmmm. You talkin’ the gates goal (and other super rich elites) of reducing the glow bull population to around 500 million +/- a few hundred thousand? They better hope they save some tire shop folks.
You asked:
LOL! I’ll post the article.
The old Soviet Union was the source of the anti-nuclear movement so this sounds entirely plausible. The article I read said the Soviets were amazed at how western “intellectuals and religious leaders” grabbed onto it.
Of course if we didn’t have a population so amazingly stupid so as to believe this stuff it wouldn’t be possible.
Ask Greta, she has all the answers. Then ask the Easter Bunny about American energy independence.
If someone ever actually gets Unicorn Farts and Fairy Dust to work, then the “Greenies” will immediately ban them...
“For the Children” and “To Save the Planet! “
It’s entirely possible that lies and propaganda will overwhelm sources of information to the point where mankind is completely ignorant and will live in a politically manufactured reality. When something doesn’t work its failure is compounded by a torrent of falsehoods that just make things worse. Idiocracy realized.
Pinochet has a bad name, but he saved Chile. Similar with Fujimori, he made Peru safe for the nimrods who came after and prosecuted him.
Venezuela would be so blessed with a Pinochet or Fujimori to give them a reset.
A Pinochet or Fujimori you can get rid of when you don’t need them anymore. A Chavez or Maduro or Castro you are stuck with forever.
Good point. Jet engines don’t maintain themselves.
Libtards base their entire life and unnecessary policies on every one of these proven myths 🤪
They’re as dumb as a box of rocks 🪨
Pedo joe reminded us that if it’s “truth” or “facts”, they’ll pick “truth” by golly. HUH? So much fidiocy that it hurts.
But nuclear can. Hydro, solar, wind, all have their niche applications. For your baseline needs, though, you need hydrocarbons and nuclear.

Simple explanation: the greenies aren’t so much for clean energy as they are for no energy.
Exactly
Once they become law, it’ll make those rich few, very wealthy.
I wish I’d bookmarked it, or even figured out a way to download it, but last last Fall or early Winter I saw a German PSA on how to not freeze to death in your unheated apartment. These Greenies want us freezing in the dark / burning up in the heat of Summer.
Well, we already have that.
The combined output of the Hoover and Glen Canyon dams is impaired by the drought in the SW. It pales in comparison to the output of the Diablo Canyon nuke plant that the D-Rats can’t wait to shut down. Friggin idjits.
You ask questions about why a .010% atmosphere gas can cause the world to heat up you are called a climate denier.
