As far as the Green New Deal, I still maintain the original New Deal was a good thing. That said, I don't think a response to what could have been a collapse of constitutional rule in the US would be the right medicine for energy. Any solution to our energy mess that doesn't take advantage of the enormous uranium reserves in North America is foolish. Focus our efforts on 4th Gen fission reactors to provide baseline to wind and solar that will provide power for AC and to heat homes when we need peak energy. Nuclear power can be banked up or down to fill whatever gap is presented by the "renewables". Also, oceanic/tidal power is reliable and another solution if we can accept it might hurt some sea life. I'll accept that just like I accept the impact on fish presented by dams.

When we have too much power generation from renewables and nuclear, use that to make HYDROGEN. H2 can then be used for all sorts of things where currently we use CNG.

Hydrogen combusts into water. A little investment in safe storage and distribution of compressed H2 and we could have cars that go wherever we want and and homes that burn H2 to provide warm air and hot water - just like we currently do with CNG.

And the win for me is that once this is widespread across the industrialized world, no one will need oil and the Wahhabists in Saudi Arabia can go back to whatever they do when they don't have the entire world paying them jizya. No more billions to fund terror.

That's my Green New Deal - redirecting the green away from people who hate us and instead to the creation of wealth for those who produce things that truly further civilization as we in the west believe it should be. Based on free markets and classically liberal principles of individual agency.

And they lived happily ever after :p

it's an interesting concept. I too would like to see more nuclear (uranium-rod or thorium-slurry) power

imagine phones with batteries of nuclear power

dang Cat

you and I agree on something finally

FUCKING NUCLEAR POWER

I have a dream...

we would be really active 😄

of Vibrators..

made of Uranium Rods

were nuclear

oh damn

I'M NUCLEAR
I'M WILD

they wouldnt need the D to have something come out of them

Equality is a total lie. Prove me wrong.
(Pro Tip, you can't)

Socialism is Slavery. Prove me wrong.

@Kepler x = x
checkmate
communism: established

Can you feel it? That's the feeling of all your food vanishing

if the periodicaly put inside themselves uranium then something would crawl out

@Copernicus that just means 0=0

So, did you guys know that America is about to become Communist?

True story.

True Horror Story.

@Copernicus in other words perfect poverty

I'm serious.

"perfect"
stopped reading there, let's do it

Everyone is in denial.

@Copernicus cus x = x isnt infinite it is 0 = 0

how do you know x isn't infinite

Socialism forces too many people to consume more than they produce.

@Copernicus no mater what they do it will always be the same and will continiu in downfall

Hello?

@Kepler I'd respond but I'm kind of shitposting right now

lol, but there isn't much time/

America's not gonna go commie, the neoliberal oligarchs in charge don't want that to happen, so it won't happen

I'm doing a sociological experiment.
