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

2019-02-07 17:54:50 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 17:55:01 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 17:57:39 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 17:58:40 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 17:58:54 UTC  

That's true

2019-02-07 17:59:42 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 18:04:44 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 18:04:57 UTC  

The us doesn't have the hydroelectric capacity ATM

2019-02-07 18:05:48 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 18:06:06 UTC  

And how both cannot supply power on demand without energy storage

2019-02-07 18:06:20 UTC  

I mean, it’s partly that

2019-02-07 18:06:27 UTC  

The technology is always advancing

2019-02-07 18:06:46 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 18:06:47 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 18:06:55 UTC  

Sure

2019-02-07 18:06:58 UTC  

Tbh I'd like more geo thermal power

2019-02-07 18:07:33 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 18:08:13 UTC  

New reactors using the latest designs would be good too

2019-02-07 18:08:16 UTC  

Geothermal at scale? Has anyone done that?

2019-02-07 18:08:23 UTC  

Iceland

2019-02-07 18:08:24 UTC  

Not really

2019-02-07 18:08:32 UTC  

But it's nowhere near the size of the US

2019-02-07 18:08:33 UTC  

Fuck dude Hawaii would be perfect testing

2019-02-07 18:08:40 UTC  

So it's a practical unknown

2019-02-07 18:08:43 UTC  

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

2019-02-07 18:08:50 UTC  

And thus no one wants to sink money into ut

2019-02-07 18:08:52 UTC  

I want fusion reactors

2019-02-07 18:08:52 UTC  

It

2019-02-07 18:08:56 UTC  

But it’s such s political hot button

2019-02-07 18:09:04 UTC  

Thing is

2019-02-07 18:09:15 UTC  

I want nuclear. Fuck NIMBYs, yes in my backyard

2019-02-07 18:09:26 UTC  

Even hardcore anti-nuclear folks are coming around

2019-02-07 18:09:27 UTC  

Front yard too

2019-02-07 18:09:48 UTC  

So nuclear is becoming a partisan issue

2019-02-07 18:11:43 UTC  

We need stopgap reactors that can be built quickly with the latest safety designs built in until fusion can be deployed on a large scale

2019-02-07 18:12:09 UTC  

Fusion doesn’t exist tho

2019-02-07 18:12:43 UTC  

It does

2019-02-07 18:12:55 UTC  

But not on a >produces more energy than it took to start

2019-02-07 18:12:58 UTC  

Scale

2019-02-07 18:13:53 UTC  

Then it doesn’t exist
