8. Well, I do make the same points over and over, and plan in the near future to give up writing...

...very much here at DU, beyond a few fun things in the Lounge.

Writing about climate change and all this wind and solar faith here is a losing cause. We're mostly old people here at DU, and many of our minds, mine too, are ossified. I responded as I did, repeating myself, because I believe what I say, and you don't believe what I say.

This "burns less fuel" stuff fails to acknowledge the zeroth law of thermodynamics, the one about thermal equilibrium, and irrespective of whatever happens at Drax, the data I presented on the rate of change above contradicts that the destruction of wilderness all over the world for wind power industrial parks served by devices with diesel engines is a "good."

To me, it's not.

Mostly I write to fix things in my mind, but my mind doesn't have long to go since it is served by my old body.

I plan to use the time I waste here to compose some notes to my son to guide his career, to the extent he's interested in them. He claims he is.
