I think the nuclear power idea is a viable one. And for disposal, send them to the sun.I think the nuclear power idea is a viable one. And for disposal, send them to the sun.

Tourism, the worlds largest 'industry' , will be forbidden under Climate Change/ Green New Deal rules. It is a huge polluter and spewer of CO2 . Recreational Boating will be limited to birch bark canoes . No fiberglass toys of any kind. Everybody must stay put where they are born. Just think- no mare wars as we cant move. LOL

Germany- in their great wisdom as proven by their forebears-is closing all their nuke power plants and replacing them with fossil fuel gas powered ones with gas imported from Russia ---and is just completing a huge Mercedes auto factory in Russia.

Yes, Germans are great Greta followers. School strikes make really sense here, nature is destroyed by intelligent eduacated people using their knowledge to exploit the resources and make business.

Stop schooling, keep the youth dumb, and problem solved within a generation.

Also stop educating technical stuff and replace the subjects by placebo sciences, like gender studies, social justice, co2 climatology, tree hugging, etc, they do no harm and keep people busy, away from dangerous real science, that drive technology and hurt the planet.

Religious beliefs have noting to do with it.
Death is the result of both of course, the difference is one is legal and the other is not.

I agree enthusiastically.

The United States has a nuclear waste problem because one of their previous virtue signalling presidents decided to make reprocessing unlawful.

The French don't have a problem because they do and they get 80-90% of their electricity from nuclear at one of the lowest consumer prices in Europe.

The nuclear technology I find the most interesting is the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors. If only half of the advantages it's proponents claim for it are true it is not only the answer to carbon emissions it's a large part of the solution to the waste problem.

Re: Has anyone been following Greta and Boris Herrmmann?

The two wives of Henry the 8th were executed by beheading after a trial for treason. Going forward a few centuries Izaac Newton convinced parliament to render "coining" (which was melting down gold coins, alloying the gold with silver, and remaking more of the coins) as treason. The penalty by then had progressed to being part hung, drawn (eviscerated with a knife and various hooky devices) and quartered, which was being pulled apart by four horse teams.

From a viewpoint of the later method Henry,s wives got of lucky.

This thread has now begun to drift off into foul waters. The moderators have therefore decided to close it.
