Oh, I forgot about advocating for Thorium reactors that miami has been doing the same here for years. He is the one who brought this to my attention.  There are other mini reactors that use other elements for fuel.  And how about superconductors to improve transmission and efficiency.

Nuclear reactors are not allowed to be discussed. No one wants to look at anything other than solar and wind for alternatives as has been widely demonstrated here and elsewhere. These two solutions only benefit the CCP and make us even more dependent on them, which is the biggest problem of all of this.  That is what makes this whole debate just virtue signaling and nothing more.  And those who point this out are always called, wait for it ... deniers.

Bullshit.

Edit:  I'll take this even further.  The push for EV's makes us totally dependent on the CCP for the rare earths needed to make batteries.  And once again any effort to explore and develop rare earth mining here in the US is quashed by the democrats and their lunatic fringe environmental progressives.  The same ones getting in the way of rebuilding our power grid for the same reasons.

You realize that this is not the same as advocating for supporting alt energy sources?

Not true.  I have been arguing for rebuilding and especially hardening the grid to survive an EMP and Coronal Mass Ejections such as the Carrington Event for years.

For that I have been called a lunatic and a conspiracy theorist.  You are one of those who have mocked me on these concerns.

Your short and convenient memory.

But have you ever advocated for subsidies to bring on more alt capacity? No, you argued that if it needed subsidies it wasn't viable, all while ignoring the constant and ongoing support of fossil fuels.  This is proof to me that your are disingenuous in your argument and simply pick the point that supports what you want today.  You like the status quo because it works well enough for you and keeps others down. You fear the change because it might mean someone else gets to use an advantage that you've held exclusively. 

Then by your own definition, it was not a good idea to shut down thermo-electric coal plants after all.

Once again, the cart was put in front of the horse.

History has shown us that this never works.

Those who do not learn from history ...

What is that pesky definition of insanity ?

This is proof (to me) that the insane are in charge.

It was a good idea to shut down thermo-electric coal plants but insufficient capacity replaced it.
