(29,798 posts)Virtually every claim you make here is, to put it politely, an 'outlier' in the world of science. You glom onto discredited junk science and treat it as if you were discovering something for the very first time when in fact all you are doing is National Inquirer 'Bat Boy' level science. You have more confused concepts than Sarah Palin.
Besides your reinvention of what Jevons is about, another example of confused concepts can be seen above in your claim that expanding energy use isn't a right wing premise. There is a huge body of extremely valid research showing that the economic structure behind centralized thermal generation (a system of centralized control favored by the right wing) is one of the primary culprits driving increased consumption of energy in the modern era. It's a fact that isn't in disputeexcept by self styled, totally uninformed people that have no actual grasp of the topic. It's the kind of talk that is commonly heard in barrooms when the 'immoderate preacher' type has had about two too many.
The evidence presented by OK in this thread overwhelms your position.

You give no evidence of even having read the material he provided and you obviously have no interest in changing your position. And no wonder either, since it is a stance that dovetails perfectly with your past efforts to surreptitiously promote nuclear power.
