Eliminate carbon credits for big companies like Google who just buy their carbon emissions free status

Posted in: G7 energy, environment leaders haggle over climate strategy See in context

Focus should be on idiotic virtue signaling Germany. Abandoning world class nuclear power reactors and investing in new coal plants and under performing renewables (unreliables).

They have spent over $500 billion and counting on their energy transition and actually increased carbon emissions while jacking up energy prices four hundred percent.

The poster child for what not to do.

Thank you after I have spent thousands of dollars on medicine, masks, and air filters.

A couple of guys wanted to film me recently after a wedding. I had been the officiant. A choir girl explained the situation to me and I gave them a flat “No.” They seem surprised as if I owed it to them. “It’s for YouTube,” they insisted.

Ironically nuclear power could’ve saved his life. Instead Japan paradoxically increases its construction of coal plants. A country that makes so little sense.

Posted in: Fossil fuels causing cost-of-living crisis: climate expert See in context

Fossil fuels, while producing greenhouse gases, created our fabulous lifestyle. Renewables (unreliables) destroyed it. Need to go nuclear if we want abundant energy, comfortable lifestyles, and peace for all people all around the world.

Posted in: Britain to see 80% spike in energy bills as crisis worsens See in context

This didn’t happen overnight. The UK began their large-scale investment in fragile renewables back in 2002. The thermodynamic defects of wind and solar are responsible for the increase in consumer costs. So many think that renewables are free fuel but exploiting them is not free at all. Dump them and let robust systems like natural gas and nuclear do their jobs.

Posted in: Japan signals return to nuclear power to stabilize energy supply See in context

Present Japan government completely ignored risk such as strong natural disaster and military attack to defend vested interest of major power industries who have nuclear plants.

that’s like saying the airlines ignore the Hindenburg and continue to build zeppelins.

“completely ignore the risk of natural disaster.” do you still stand by that? evidence? Fukushima proves that a nuclear power plant can withstand a powerful earthquake. Do you want your great great grandchildren to live in a world without even a speck of ice even on the highest mountain?

go nuclear or go extinct!

Can’t wait to see how fast they build these generation 3+ reactors. The Japanese are masters of the build and the median time for building their reactors was 3.8 years. We’ll be seeing some small modular reactors as well. Let’s crank them out like sausages.

Kishida has seen the reality of the EU’s intermittent renewables grid and come to the conclusion that it’s a mistaken path for Japan. Bravo Kishida!

upgrade to new ones such as: economic simplified boiling water reactor (ESBWR)

ESBWR is a newer improved design (generation 3+ ) from the Advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR).

It HAS design certification from US NRC.

It is the BASIS for BWRX-300 design.

unless you prefer to dismantle our socioeconomic system with unreliables (wind and solar)

Posted in: Role in Japanese war machine made Hiroshima, Nagasaki A-bomb targets See in context

As part of your policy for balanced coverage, are you going to be including a piece on Japanese war atrocities? for example, could we debate whether it was humane for Japanese soldiers to grab Filipino children by their ankles and swing them around until their head made contact with a tree? Maybe younger readers would be appreciative of stories about Japanese soldiers bayoneting Chinese babies that they had tossed into the air.

Look at Germany to see how well spending half $1 trillion on solar panels and wind turbines “work”. Highest electricity rates in the developed world plus 6 times higher carbon dioxide emissions than mostly nuclear-powered France. A hyper-inflated and irrational aversion to the safest and most powerful form of energy (nuclear) will make our lives miserable and dirtier.

At least fewer people are dying in the winter. Therefore, overall, climate-related deaths are falling precipitously.

remember, when you sweat you’re losing a lot more than water. You’re losing a lot of minerals. Therefore hydrating with water alone is not enough. you need to replace the lost minerals.
