https://www.resilience.org/stories/2019-09-12/what-is-energy-denial/ I left a Comment: This myths list makes no room for solutions, it ignores what is already being done to address many of its concerns. The claim about the Mojave Desert is one example. California is leading the way to making renewables a major part of the energy consumed. Hundreds of thousands of homes

from FB reply to a comment Sep 27 I watched the video of the press conference on SROCC. What he said is that if the CC deniers delay the changes needed to halt climate change, it’s going to cost many times the amount needed to fix the mess later. “… Over time, paying for climate

from FB comment to Bill Bill Sherman When I was young, Thermonuclear fusion was “Twenty years until we have free energy.” When I was concerned about Y2K, Thermonuclear fusion was “Twenty years until we have free energy.” Now that I’m old, it’s Thermonuclear fusion was “Twenty years until we have free energy.” I’ll be long

But [there’s] this whole process of getting completely suited up, and there are literally

from YouTube video TEDx talk comment pro nuclear power, see 2018-09-04 To paraphrase an earlier comment: “Wow! Spread the word! There is so much *left*out* with this talk!” Did you notice he left out any mention of the economic aspects of nuclear power generation? There are THREE nuclear power plants that are sitting partially built

From FB group Building Transistor Radios 2018-09-01 There are too many ‘gotchas.’ You have to put up a large sized antenna to gather enough power to run the circuit. That means you cannot use this in a city where the properties are too small, due to lack of space. You go to the country where
