The pilot on my plane a few years back was named Max Power

It’s impressive that every part of this is wrong!

The protesters were actually focusing on the people who fly their private jets into burning man. IIRC Burning man has a private airstrip and celebrities will fly in on the jets, which is environmentally terrible and goes against the ethos of the group.

The protesters were blockading the road calling on BM to ban private jets from the event. As well as a few other demands.

Same! And most of that’s just rent!

I like the Bourne Ultimatum theory better. We peaked there and will never achieve that high again!

I visited Molossia a while ago, dude was awesome and super friendly. Plus the weather in Molossia is always perfect, although with the close borders with Nevada sometimes the bad weather from the US bleeds in.

This would be true, except for the fact that nuclear is terrible at filling in slack times. Nuclear power for the most part needs to run really consistently, 24/7. Better to fill gaps with a diversity of reasources, more transmission, and storage.

Well that is a fascinating and bizarre definition.

Where are you? Most US conservatives use socialism as the bogeyman and practically a swear word.

Basically no one outside of china is advocating for coal use anymore, so this is a BS comparison. The much more apt comparison is against wind, solar, and storage, against which nuclear is far more dangerous. Also, it’s hard for environmental damage assessment to take into account the EXTREMELY long-lived impacts of fuel “disposal”.

Looked at your profile, you’re in Mexico? Ultimately the question you need to ask yourself is how your political decisions (voting or not voting) impacting others. Like someone else said, if you live in society with others there is no such thing as “not being political”, every action has consequences.

If you want to support a conservative politician who is harming other people from a community you identify with, you need to know that’s what you’re doing and that it has an impact. If you don’t vote to oppose a candidate who harms you community, you also need to be aware of that and recognize that you had a part in making it happen.

Do what you want and identify how you will, but regardless it’s probably going to impact others, positively or negatively.

I mean, we obviously need to do both. The conversation in the thread is about nuclear, which is a supply side resource. DR and demand shaping do even more to enable truly renewable resources. Why do the demand shaping to enable nuclear when renewables are cleaner and cheaper?

I didn’t know that reference but this makes is so much better!
