I chose to vote for Blue last presidential election and Biden made a real difference with the IRA. Much to my surprise. It isn’t enough, but it is a step.

This is true. Being a job creator is hard work and they should not have to deal with peasant quips and jabs.

This works in factorio really well

I can’t believe that having a COP in another petrostate isn’t going to be uplifting. It even did a genocide recently up there in Nagorno-Karabakh and then bragged about how the depopulated area was so environmentally friendly. Anyways, fuck Azerbaijan.

He is probably too busy destroying the property of his poorest constituents for anything else.

Is the “heat collection system” just barrels of water or something more complex? I know water can hold onto a lot of heat.

Margaret Killjoy is just a joy to read. Her hook for this article, an anecdote about arguing with a pedant on the train, is just such a good way to introduce the article.

The US at least already has enough nuclear to handle base loads when solar and wind are unavailable. Nukes in some contexts are needed, but I believe we have 30% or so nukes in the US. Diverting resources to new nukes is a waste when we could be making carbon fuels unprofitable soon by investing in solar and wind.

The problem is that none of these designs have ever been used to power the grid. Every nuclear project in the recent past has blown by cost and time estimates. Wind and solar are not only cheaper than nukes, they can also be installed much quicker and predictably. Nukes have a place, but we need clean energy now.

Right? Just off the top of my head, I listen to podcasts on the Channel Zero Network of Anarchist Podcasts. Started at Margaret Killjoys “Live the the world is dying” and now, due to ads on the network for other shows, I listen to about a half dozen shows on the network religiously. That seems like an organization that is trying to grow, and doing it successfully.

When it comes to this ecocide, I’m not entirely opposed to mob justice for these fuckers (oil and gas executives and the fuckers who promoted their lies).
