A Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.

You didn't need to be religious to be a religious leader.

When it comes to this issue, you can't really say that Trump is that much worse.

Oh my sweet summer child... It can always be worse.

"don't tell Muslims what to do" is what I would get every time I'd point out that Trump will do far worse.

What money?

You're making excuses for burning coal. I'm saying they shouldn't be burning it at all.

Why the hell did they ban nuclear before coal anyway? That was just stupid.

We?

It was a stupid idea no matter who conceived of or implemented it.

Which is why it was stupid to start shutting them down! 🤣

BUT THE DEMOCRATS LEARNED A LESSON RIGHT????

Baseload is still needed now. End of.

Baseload is an antiquated concept that doesn’t work with lots of renewables. Battery storage may be not completely feasible yet, but look at California to see that it has the potential to be ready faster than we can build new npps.

"Baseload" is still needed. Renewables are great but they are simply not there yet. There is a world between "potential" and "available".

Actually coal consumption is down to the level of the 1960s.

Yes, it's down since the 1960s. If this is your level of understanding I don't expect this to go well.. 🙄

It shot up between 2020 and 2023 (4th chart here): https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-consumption-and-power-mix-charts

Yes other things were happening, yes other values are moving up (renewables - yay!). But with no nuclear to fall back on Coal plants had to fire up to bear the burden of pressure on other fuels.

Nuclear is clean. Coal is certainly not clean.

This is brilliant! We should also teach people to not steal or murder too! OMG I think you've cracked it!

Do you have a book or newsletter I could subscribe to?

I never said that. But there are ways we have to do neither. Why not concentrate on those, especially since they are magnitudes cheaper.

FSS I hate discussions with people.... You can do more than one thing. You could have concentrated on both nuclear AND renewables and stopped burning COAL - but no, instead Germany had a fucking uptick in coal power while dropping the much cleaner nuclear.

This was so foreseeable it hurts. Renewables simply aren't up to the task of baseload generation yet in the way that nuclear is.

It was a stupid idea no matter who conceived of or implemented it. Nuclear is the only viable clean baseload power generation option we have. Solar and wind can't do it, coal and oil are filthy, battery storage is nowhere near where it needs to be yet.

Pop 22.04 with Nvidia 3070 and it "just worked".

You haven't described in what way it is not working for you.

Go ahead and try to use it then.

This is all very true - I'm just hoping he hasn't learned from last time about how to effect change in government. Unfortunately it seems like those around him are just more sycophantic than last time. One thing he has learned is "who is loyal" which could be a problem...

The reason it's "hidden" is to prevent it from being used when the car is NOT on fire.

It's a well-designed car.

If there is one truth about humanity it is this - there is always a worse option.

Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.

BUT AT LEAST THE DEMOCRATS LEARNED A LESSON RIGHT LEFTISTS???
