"This is nuts:" European power prices go negative as springtime renewables soar

[NNadir]

22. The world, apparently, has come to the reasonable conclusion that all the antinuke scare stories...

...all based on "if" pale based on the reality of climate change and air pollution deaths.

I fully realize that the antinuke community has relied on scare stories to sell their reactionary fantasy and to continue on the course of embedding dangerous fossil fuels.

I changed my mind about nuclear energy after Chernobyl, when the consequences of the the worst reactor failure possible paled in comparison to the dangerous fossil fuels that antinukes like the antinuke nation of Germany are actively embracing albeit coupled with lame excuses and soothsaying

Of course, I not only have an scientific education, and can compare numbers like seven million deaths per year from air pollution while assholes advocate for more cobalt slaves, but I also have made sure that I have an ethical education.

How many people have died from nuclear accidents in the 70 year history of commercial nuclear power again? Any of the "OH MY GOD NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS!!!!!!!!" people have an answer to that question? At a rate of 19,000 people per day from air pollution how many hours of fossil fuel deaths would it take to match all the nuclear energy related deaths over the last 70 years of commercial nuclear power?

Can they rationalize why they couldn't care less about the more than 250 million people who died since the Chernobyl event from air pollution and why they think that "nuclear energy is too dangerous" and climate change isn't?

No, they can't, and they don't. They just chant their tiresome dogma about a grand renewable energy nirvana that did not come, is not here and won't come. They elevate mysticism over reality. They don't give a rat's ass about how many people die while they chant. They lack not only scientific educations but moral educations as well.

The reality is, again, that 19,000 people will die today from air pollution and untold more people will die from climate change in the form of extreme heat and other extreme weather while they fiddle with lint in their navels in Neroesque indifference to reality.

I am very pleased to check out the World Nuclear News daily to see what new countries are embracing nuclear energy, including countries in Africa, where Apartheid Elon gets his cobalt for his powerwalls that all our antinukes here hype.

Now I fully recognize that bourgeois antinukes do not now, and never have, given a rat's ass about poverty any more than they give a rat's ass about who fossil fuels kill or about climate change, but the Africans are looking to not follow China and India's path to providing a decent lifestyle to their citizens:

... The report says that 600 million people in Africa have no reliable source of electricity, with the World Bank reporting that in sub-Saharan Africa 80% of businesses suffer from power outages. It also notes that the demand for energy in Africa is growing twice as fast as the global average.

Egypt recently started construction of its first nuclear power plant - it plans four 1200 MWe reactors at El-Dabaa. “Egypt opted for nuclear power because it provides a steady source of energy that lasts for decades,” said Mohamed H. El Molla, Egypt’s Resident Representative to the IAEA.

South Africa, the only existing nuclear operator on the continent is considering long-term operation of the Koeberg nuclear power plant as well as expanding its nuclear power programme. Ghana hosted an IAEA-led Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review mission in 2017 and Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation Kwaku Afriyie said: "Ghana is looking to introduce nuclear power to provide the necessary diversity of baseload to ensure energy security for our future demands."

At the event, IAEA director general Rafael Mariano Grossi said that African countries considering nuclear power solutions could be assured "the IAEA will be with you every step of the way".

He said: "Everywhere I am hearing this global conversation about energy security, climate change and nuclear power, and whether by virtue of changes in circumstance, climate or security needs, it is quite clear that nuclear now has a place at the table. What I like about this discussion, is that there is no discussion without Africa. The Africans have said themselves ... ‘we need to contribute, and we need our own specific analysis of how this nuclear jewel is going to be used for African economies.’.."

Nuclear 'gaining traction' as option in many African countries, says IAEA

They don't care at all what bourgeois battery worshippers think about "accidents." They're not screaming about bizarre selective attention and indifference to their every day plight."

They care about climate change because it affects them and every citizen on this planet. They don't want to be killing people with coal fumes like the Germans. They want to live decently.

They know as I know that fossil fuel deaths are not accidents. On the contrary they're deliberate murder by omission. Every educated person on the planet, with the obvious exception of the German government and the Greenpeace assholes in it, although one wonders if they have any kind of technical or moral education, knows that fossil fuel plants kill people whenever they operate normally.

It doesn't matter to them that people worshipping Apartheid Elon come up with lame excuses that kill people. Like many human beings, Africans want a sustainable world.

They don't care that American antinukes - who have no complaints about fossil fuels - don't care how many people die while they wait for their energy Godot.

I suspect that Africans, like me, think ethical paucity of this position is stunning, grotesquely so, but stunning all the same.

Have a wonderful day tomorrow.
