5. Oh goodie! In other news, the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide...

...topped 430 ppm last week. A new all time record should occur within the next several weeks, at which time I'll post the numbers.

If antinukes aren't paying attention to the collapse of the planetary atmosphere while celebrating their unsustainable garbage, I am.

The trillions squandered on so called "renewable energy" has done nothing, absolutely nothing to address this outcome.

But again, antinukes including "I'm not an antinuke" antinukes have never given a shit about fossil fuels, never have, never will.

As evidence we can note that they like to show up in discussions of the only sustainable, clean, and reliable form of low (close to zero) carbon energy, nuclear energy, to crow about their wilderness destroying, mining and land intensive junk and it's disastrous popularity. The popularity of that fossil fuel dependent short lived junk has left the planet in flames, but who cares? It's sexy, bulldozing wilderness for solar farms, lacing deserts, mountain forests and other wilderness with access roads for wind turbines.

In another thread I posted a photograph of the wind turbine blade dump in Texas. The land area involved could easily accommodate three or four nuclear plants that would operate with better than 90% capacity utilization, and reduce or eliminate all the wind junk and much of the gas dependence in Texas.

I have never, not once, met an antinuke, who gives a rat's ass about fossil fuels in a remotely convincing way. Hence the world is burning. They can crow about their literally pyrrhic "victory" over the only sustainable form of primary energy, nuclear energy, until the last forest goes up in flames, but the moral stain will not be washed away.

History will not forgive us nor should it.

Have a nice day.
