I'm all for energy reduction, but that will be harder to achieve politically than a CO2 tax I suspect.
Geez I am so bored with all this Co2 Bullshit.
I think from now on, whenever I hear or see it mentioned, I'll go out and burn a tyre in protest.
Give the whingers something whinge about!
Co2 is never going to be reduced, energy consumption is never going to be reduced ( well until our grid here falls over which is on the cards in the not too distant future) because both of those thing are against the fundamental principals and Ideals of business and gubbermints of constant growth and consumption..... no matter what green apeasing propaganda they put out claiming different.
Watch the actions not the words.
Never going to change so may as well shut up and accept it because to do other wise is just using more energy and generating more c02 on a pointless argument.
I know of people who turn on all their (incandescent) lights whenever it's earth hour.
Yep, do it whenever I remember it's on. The more lights the better the photos are going to look!
I'm all for doing my bit like that and I have a LOT of lights. Stupid ideas deserve appropriate responses.
[/b] A lot of other people fill their homes with tea lights.
And then put a flower pot over them and make YT vids claiming they are heating their house cheap and saving the world.
There is just no limit to stupid and ignorance.
If some people refuse to travel by air, prices will drop and other will take their place instead.
Yep, you are never going to beat the Big biz machine and it's useless trying or for a tiny little group to whine and sook about what the rest of the population loves and craves. Besides, it's harder to get a ship to most places than a plane, especially in and out of land locked countries. I have also found that a lot of companies won't give employees an extra month off for travel time just to get to and from their destination before their Holiday time starts.
What I really care about is getting rid of coal (burning).
Of course you do because you have swallowed the globull boring scam hook line and sinker and think getting rid of coal in favour of unreliables is going to cure the problems of the world. Are you going to put your hand up to be the first to load shed when the renewables fall over and there isn't enough power to go round? Are you prepared to put your money where your beliefs are and sell everything you own to compensate people who loose their job when companies close or move to places where they have lower emissions standards but reliable power and therefor the net result is still NIL?
No, you'll want all the unicorns and rainbows but no responsibility with the inevitable happens.
As long as the options are coal(/gas/oil/wood) or nuclear, nuclear is a much better option.
Yeah.
Especially if you drink enough of the green Koolaide and smoke enough of the Nuke industry propaganda. Drink and smoke a bit more and you'll see we can just saddle up the flying pigs to turbines and make them provide all our power needs!
Lets make a big song and dance about doing away with one source of pollutants to replace it with another source that is a million times more deadly, longer lasting, and more dangerous. Makes perfect sense. We'll just ignore the fact the waste has the potential to wipe out the world a with just a ton of the stuff and as illustrated on this very thread, costs BILLIONS to clean up after when it's done.
The hypocrisy of people claiming to be concerned about the planet and the environment and then championing a power source that produces the most Toxic, deadly and damaging substances know to man with NO possibility of making it safe would be laughable if it were not so moronic and worrying as to how gullible and easily fooled society has become.
The irony of arguing over the health of the planet when those in charge have become so dumbed down and incapable of thinking for themselves is beyond imagination.
A lot of people say we should just use less energy and more solar panels. Fine, if that is possible it's great,
It's technically possible but the same forces in the world that are going to keep increasing co2 levels and driving people to consume more are the very same ones blocking the use of more Rooftop solar that could greatly reduce the centralized energy supplies which is the last thing they want.
but until then, as long as coal is still around it's better to replace coal with nuclear.
NO, it's not.
No matter how many times you read it and parrot the same flawed bullshit, it's still moronically flawed bullshit.
What is happening in many places today is that nuclear is being replaced with coal and gas.
Well thank Fk humans are doing something right!! There is hope for us yet.
And what is the problem with gas? No waste there to worry about. it's clean as!
Oh, yeah, that's right, the Co2, the Co2 sky is falling garbage. yeah, cause if you make all power generation gas the world will end next week and if you take it away the worlds problems will be cured. how could I forget?
The problem, as I see it, is that they could have used the same solar panels (money) to shut down one of their coal power plants instead.
If that's the way you see it, Time for a visit to Specsavers so you can get some new glasses that are clear rather than Nuke rose coloured see things clearly and stop being so badly mislead.
The proposal to push an old reactor beyond it's designed service life pretty much gives away the brain washing that says champion the cause blindly and never let the potential effects, problems and dangers take up any thoughts in your head at all.
They might not realise it but they are effectively choosing coal instead of nuclear.
Oh I'm sure they realise and I commend them on their wise decision to do so.
Electricity production in Spain is about 40% fossil fuels, 20% nuclear.
And thankfully the nuke number is going down.
Unlike the complete and utter Bullshit the greenwashed like to spread about everything at every opportunity, Coal is not dying as a power source at all and Nuke IS going down.
Atm Sources site there are 700+ Coal plants under construction or sheduled to be built.
For Nuke, the number is 20 with half of those in China.
Can't seem to find numbers for unreliables construction but there seems to be a hysteric race to see who can build the biggest unreliable facilities around the world.
How they can claim to be saving the world at the same time they are defacing is and destroying habitats and landscapes in beyond me.
The place for solar is in the citys where it can be used on rooftops and takes up no more land nor does any further damage to the landcape or natural environment. That however means putting control back into the hands of the people and loosing profits so that is simply unacceptable and unfathomable.
