A Commentary on Failure, Delusion and Faith: Danish Data on Big Wind Turbines and Their Lifetimes.

[NNadir]

10. I have no use, zero, for carrying on about Three Mile Island, nor do I have any use for doing...

...nothing about climate change because some people have an absurd fear of radioactive materials.

I also have no use for Fukushima fetishes, something I made abundantly clear.

My son is entering a Ph.D. nuclear engineering program. He recently updated his Linkedin page to reflect the work he will do and posted about it there.

I couldn't help looking at the comments in response to his post and was proud to see this from one of his fellow young engineers:

There are very few people I can say that I personally know that are actively working to change the world, (name redacted)- you are on the top of the list! Best of luck in this amazing opportunity.

If old people in their 50's, 60's and 70's want to surrender to their fears and do nothing, I can say or do nothing in response. I am of that age myself, and I despise what we have done to the future. We were a horrible generation, not worthy of our parents and even less worthy of our children.

It now falls upon the up and coming generation to sweep us aside with our tired old depressive mentality, in which we say that everyone after us must live with the consequences of our actions. It behooves these young talented folks to work to change the world, to save what can be saved, and restore what can be restored.

These young people have it in them. I am confident they will be a great generation.

As for us, history will not forgive us, nor should it.

Cynicism disgusts me.
