Pick something up and put it in its place. Then do it again.

If you’re really fit.

Because they wanted bombs.

That’s what the fossil and nuke lobby have been claiming for decades and they have been wrong at every turn. They’ll still be making the same claims once we’re at 100% renewable, which is pretty much inevitable at this point.

Sure, buddy.

All nuclear programs were started for military purposes. “Civilian” nuclear power has always been a fig leaf. While the current Chinese thorium effort is a break from that tradition, it’ll be far too late to make any impact.

Blaming capitalism for every evil in the world is just dumb. Surely Stalin and Mao started their nuclear programs because of capitalism?

The old “renewables can’t do intermittency” trope is so tired by now. Battery storage is taking off in a big way and solar is simply unstoppable. Nuclear is never going to be an economically viable technology any more.

It’s a logical next step. While these are interesting results, this technology is still a long way from commercial viability. After the 10 MW installation is operational, they’ll have to run it for a few years before they can even start designing a grid scale plant. Or maybe they’ll even have to scale up by another order of magnitude first, which would give only 100MW. Then they have to build it, test it, iron out the kinks etc. Once they have a grid scale plant, they can start commercialising the technology, provided it actually proves viable at scale. We’re looking at 20 to 30 years even at the most optimistic estimate. I’d say 40 is more realistic.

I’m sure they’re thinking about it. Anyone who buys one of those deserves no better.

I tried the YouTube app exactly once. Since then my TV doesn’t have an internet connection any more.

Just don’t connect it to the internet.

Trump and Vance are the revenge of the unqualified white idiots.

Or just simple common sense.

It’s called not being an utter moron.

“Dreaming in my ass” - I think I’ll pass.

Ha ha, good one.

OK. Never bought anything from Nintendo, so that’s not a great sacrifice.

About 20%

Exactly. The only reason Trump became The Führer is his ability to basically hypnotise the morons with his insane ramblings. Something he has in common with a certain failed painter from Austria, incidentally.
