...when my power was out for over a week, the average power provided to my home had zero relationship to the fact I had to throw away all the food in my refrigerator and pay to replace it when the power was restored.

One of the things that characterizes antinukes is their absolute contempt for the poor. It's fine for these bourgeois assholes to carry on about their putative Tesla power walls manufactured using cobalt dug by child slaves in the Congo River basin, but not on their agenda to afford what should be a basic human right, access to reliable power.

I'm not sure that Texans would enjoy what German "Green" Vice Chancellor Habeck recommends for Germans now that the war monger Putin, who Germany financed in service to the antinuke mentality, is threatening their access to dangerous fossil fuels, short and infrequent showers.

It's clear that antinuke indifference to poverty matches their studied and increasingly obvious indifference to climate change and their ill studied indifference to human health.

The excuses they make for the failure of wind and solar gets more and more tortured minute to minute.
