twa Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 When hasn't there been catastrophic flooding here? frigging swamp needs flushed every now and then.. We could certainly send a few million folk back where they came from if you insist.(I'm assuming you aren't suggesting eliminating them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Well, now there's a proposal to reduce the impact of global warning. Eliminate the the people from affected areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deny climate change, let the cities and coasts (you know, where Dems/Libs live) flood and kill them all, ensure GOP majority. That would just be crazy talk.

The answer to why the GOP denies climate change is the same answer to a lot of the whys when you look at the screwed up aspects of our society & government... Lobbies.

Captain Wiggles Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Nuclear Power be going the way of the dodo. Getting fraked right in the ol cooling tower. Natural gas is the present. Get use to saying wind, solar, and geothermal. That's the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even present model nuke comes in lower priced than wind and solar. NG is certainly cooking though, and makes up for wind and solar's critical flaws.

Captain Wiggles Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) How long for the new nuclear plants to be built? 20 years again? 10? Do the new plants create the same waste that can't be disposed of safely? Edited June 18, 2017 by clietas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Yes, they haven't really figured out nuclear disposal since I wrote a term paper about it in 1981. The most original one was to load it all up on a rocket and shoot it off toward the Sun. Edited to change "have" to "haven't", which is want I meant to write.

You dispose of nuclear waste the same way you dispose of hypodermic needles. Discard it at the local beach. Alternatively, you can leave it under the handle of a gas pump but that's a little bit more work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 2040s, Natural Gas plants won't even make sense anymore, neither will Fission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it has a headline like that, and then a sentence like this in the second or third paragraph Quote the study looked at 40 years’ worth of data and concluded that while more modern versions of solar panels may ultimately result in a net reduction of carbon emissions over the span of decades, Ie: bull **** article targeting the easily confused and know-nothings.

Using that to say solar panels are a waste is a totally different thing. That's why you need the research. Your source concedes the latest tech is a net reduction, yet writes that headline. The problem is with your dumb source, not Nature. At least, as far as my criticism goes. 18 minutes ago, AsburySkinsFan said: I'm sorry I couldn't hear you over all the winning in Fukushima. That place that was listed as being located in a dangerous area? That Japan never did anything about? Yes, if you don't do it carefully there can be a disaster. No one really denies that.
