God fuck what a single grenade in that crowd would have done

Sorry, creeper, because I mean in minecraft

but the government would never do that

those are all red herrings planted by <:happymerchant:263435754779312130>

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez released her manifesto. She literally wants to ban airplanes and replace them with high speed trains.

Socialists "progressing" towards the 1800s.

What

Wait, seriously?

Also wants to ban all combustion engines within 10 years and nuclear reactors are not part of her "zero carbon emmisions" plan.

Can she be any more of a parody

about 1/3 of my facebook friends suck her metaphorical dick

It must be nice to be praised for being "morally right" even if you aren't "factually correct"

With that horse mouth I wouldn't put my dick in there

She's ambitious, I'll give her that much.
She reminds me a lot of kids around me in middle school, with noble goals, and a complete lack of knowledge

I think banning combustion engines and airplanes is less a complete lack of knowledge and more a complete disconnect from reality

That's true

I think her entire platform is summarized by the saying "The path to Hell is paved with good intentions"

But it's pretty much impossible to generate that much power without nuclear power in the equation

The us doesn't have the hydroelectric capacity ATM

Renewables are a fucking meme tax scam where nobody mentions how toxic solar panels are to make or how wind generators suck up oil and kills birds

And how both cannot supply power on demand without energy storage

I mean, it’s partly that

The technology is always advancing

Also they don't match a fraction of what coal and natural gas produce power wise

It’s not to the scale of replacing anything we currently use. Only supplementing.

Sure

Tbh I'd like more geo thermal power

The US is sitting on top of one the biggest volcanos on earth and they're just letting all that energy go to waste

New reactors using the latest designs would be good too

Geothermal at scale? Has anyone done that?

Iceland

Not really

But it's nowhere near the size of the US

Fuck dude Hawaii would be perfect testing

So it's a practical unknown

We desperately need to be putting R&D into more modern nuclear

And thus no one wants to sink money into ut

I want fusion reactors

It

But it’s such s political hot button
