De-escalation doesn’t get them to do the shooty-shooty part, and thats the best part of their day, they aren’t trying to avoid it (especially once they confirmed there is no lethal weapon that would put them in any actual danger).

Ok, but dont whisper to anyone ‘omelette du frozen sabretooth kitten’ (with some fromage ofc).

Eccentricity generators were invented before mass oil or coal use (1830s by Faraday).

We’ve had windmills, hydro, and even animal/human powered devices that could result in turning cranks for the generator to produce electricity - all for centuries at even that point. I would have to look up about when we first used solar to boil water, but I’m guessing there about.

(… but … but … I meant Dexter, the showrunners, voice actors etc)

Bullshit. If you can get the same amount of reliable power by just slapping up some solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries, then obviously the cost is not insignificant.

I’m thinking in practical terms how that still doesn’t happen that often, humans allocate assets, humans don’t behave logically (behavioural economics).

Nothing ever is going to be perfect and efficient, solar panels might get through vast price volatilities as well, installation costs hand already soared.

Then, at the same time, they’ll ignore the most bone-headedly obvious cause of nuclear’s failure: it’s just too fucking expensive.

So why did we subsidised so much expensive oil infrastructure. And at higher cost of life.
Oil rigs can go into billions of dollars (and thats not even the total cost), nuclear plants tend to have the total running cost up-front (with decommission costs after the planned decades).

Humans don’t make economic decisions rationally.

The local undertaker family tells the story about Bob and Jim once a week to the whole village (attendance is mandatory).

You joke but this def influenced my view of the world, and my ideals.

It feels like it is otherwise we wouldn’t possibly use it.

Imagine dangerous drilling, all the complex refining, the mass transpiration systems around the world moving billions of tonnes, etc. It’s stupid and complex. The system to enable it was somewhat forced & def forced to maintain it, it’s well documented actually.

Yes, thats where the god-money scam/loophole comes in!

He’s just gonna give it to himself!

Same.

Also still mystified by what women like to hear like that. (But it def involves fromage)

certainly

The same problems faced the oil industry too, with their drilling rigs & refineries (over budget and over schedule, with gov money grants and subsidies), it’s just less in the media & more spread out (more projects).

Also 10s of billions is still insignificant for any power, transport, or healthcare infrastructure in the scheme of things - we have the money, we just don’t tax profit enough. And we don’t talk about how the whole budget gets spent (private or public), where all the money actually goes, instead we get the highlighted cases everyone talks about. But not about the shielded industries when they fuck up.

Reality can be anything anyone says, you just gotta believe it really hard?

And then repeat the lie reality in service to the ones than benefit from it. Gooboi.

You are saying we should be kinder to the less fortunate & uneducated?

That’s a nice thought.

Renewables once surpassed fossil fuels, until some brave knight killed all the windmills.

Yeah, oil oiled the “green” anti-nuclear protests.

You can tell that’s how it was because the cops didn’t beat them as much (or in some big cases at all) as they do even the most insignificant anti-oil protesters.

This is exactly, factually right, and eloquently put using the same meme terminology people here understand.

We had magic mirrors and magic fans for centuries tho.

Yet we decided to release way more poison and even way more radiation by mining and burning fossil fuels. We just poison larger areas than any nuclear disasters. And with fossil fuels people actually get cancer, and with toxic byproducts, mutations and birth defects.

People in polluted areas die sooner. Except around nuclear disasters sights - the air gets cleaner once all the people are thrown out.

The house burning probably happened more than one time too.

Exactly.

The whole clusterfuck of mishandled Chernobyl cleanup & everything there before and after only claimed a few lives (via direct radiation tissue damage or just accidents).

Compare that with the daily average of thousands of killed in various (ultimately) oil wars.

But we don’t even get news about that.

But western propaganda sure showed us malformed babies & claimed it was from radiation - it turns out it was all bullshit, it was always a toxic chemical behind it (unregulated industries selling toxic shit by the tonnes - fertilisers, paints, even biological warfare).

We just take radiation super seriously and completely disregard toxic chemical pollution of eg industrial spillages. People just get to live in polluted areas and die sooner because of that. Instead of living for longer & with less health hazards but with a little radiation.

And lastly - burning coal released way more radiation into air than nuclear accidents.
