the science worship always evaporates when nuclear is mentioned

odds it's going to be some combination of technologies like individual properties with solar panels with nuclear providing the bulk of power as long as those loons shut the fuck up we'll actually do the right thing ourselves

they're impeding the very science and the advancement that will fix the issues they raise

Well, the science worship ends at evolution and climate change. Those are the only ones that matter because they assume it threatens conservatism.

the objection to nuclear and GMOs pisses me off to no end

Same here

GMOs actually solve tons of problems

something I was thinking is we could actually create carbon pipes to help crops grow to feed so many more people and save so much woodland

and water

Plus there’s a GM mosquito that decimates populations to the point where disease transfer is very unlikely. Guess who’s against that? Leftists

yeah we could very well see the end of malaria

that is MASSIVE

that's bigger than curing cancer

Isn't everything that we grow as food a GMO at this point?

in a sense

Whether intentionally or not?

we've been messing with plants and animals for hundreds of years

@wolfman1911 pretty much yes.

carrots are naturally white

bananas are not sweet and are full of seeds

and straight

The process isn’t dissimilar. genetic modification only speeds things up.

@Lord Zedd it’s the same with DDT. Africa can’t use ddt because some bird species in North America reacted badly to it.

imagine they could make corn and wheat with double the yields that are pest and drought resistant

^

hopefully the new mozzies will eliminate the need for DDT

and then there's all the new flavours of food we can get

did you know ruby chocolate is a thing?

Or use golden rice to supplement south East Asian diets to help prevent health problems

it's a type of chocolate that is sort of reddish and tastes sort of like berries, that's pretty awesome stuff

What’s ruby chocolate?

I want it

it's still pretty uncommon Kit Kat had a short run of ruby chocolate kit kats for a while

I quite like it

That reminds me of the people that get pissy about farmers having to buy new seeds every year. Like, no shit, otherwise the company selling the seeds goes out of business.

I liked a pic in the pictures channel

The Monsanto freak outs are ridiculous

Glyphosate doesn’t harm people

You can practically drink the crap.

Kit Kat are really good about trying new things they have sort of caramel white chocolate hybrid now which I like

and the thought of plants like Cocoa and Coffee having wider ranges of viable farmlands is a big deal
