10 States That Produce the Most Renewable Energy

[NNadir]

5. I have produced the energy output of the useless and expensive so called "renewable energy..."

...fantasy multiple times here.

I've used something called "numbers."

Here they are, yet again, not that this going to stop asinine chanting about Vogtle by bourgeois provincials who have spent 43 years whining about Three Mile Island while literally hundreds of millions of people died from air pollution:

Of course, I am about to hear stupid rhetoric, as I always do, that despite cheering for the solar fantasy going back to 1954, it had as of 2020, produced less than 5 Exajoules of energy on a planet consuming close to 600 Exajoules. Some ass will announce, with people dying from extreme heat, and the world food supply becoming desiccated in the fields, that a solar miracle has occurred in just two years.



The first 100 years of solar energy’s history
.

The energy produced by solar and wind is trivial. At best, for all this mining, all the money thrown at it, it might have shaved 0.02 or 0.01 ppm off the 421.63 ppm peak we saw this spring, less than ten years after we first saw the first readings over 400 ppm.l

I keep hearing about Vogtle and lame excuses and idiotic predictions that fly in the face of a 50 year experience with the reactionary, failed and expensive fantasy of making all of our energy dependent on the weather in response, along with yet another in thousands upon thousands upon thousands of similar posts I've addressed here with idiotic soothsaying.

A remark often attributed to Abraham Lincoln goes like this: "The best way to predict the future is to create it."

My son starts work his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering on Tuesday. He doesn't really give a shit about whiny fools who have worked through generally useless lives of illiterate fantasy to destroy the nuclear construction infrastructure in this country - as I often note, "arsonists complaining about forest fires." He is going to challenge the predominance of ignorance to bring nuclear energy back to the state it was in this country when we built over 100 nuclear reactors while providing the cheapest electricity in the industrial world.

If he bought into the rhetoric of idiots, he wouldn't choose this career; he's already a fine Materials Science Engineer and could get a very nice high paying job. But he gives a shit.

Anti-nukes, in general don't give a shit. They just chant and chant and chant and chant the same stupid rhetoric while people all over the world suffer the consequences of ignorance.

Now, the anti-nukes have won. We have the results in. They had their way, certainly in the United States. They death toll of their "victory" is enormous, but they still don't give a shit.

The database of world nuclear reactors can be found here: Reactor Database

Since March of 2021, ten nuclear reactors have been connected to the grid, hardly enough, of course, but again, a lot of money is still be squandered to tear up wilderness to make wind turbines that will be landfill in less than 20 years.

Since last July, first concrete was poured on ten more reactors, all of which will be operating when today's newborns are approaching retirement age, perhaps, throughout their retirement.

Of the ten top producing nuclear reactors on this planet with capacity utilization ratings actually exceeding their rated capacity, nine were built by American engineers in the 20th century before the triumph of fear and ignorance. One of these is in Texas, a state where the failure of so called "renewable energy" is writ large.

These things are facts, not soothsaying bullshit.

Facts matter. Soothsaying doesn't.

You know, this summer I spent a few days on the Jersey Shore. There were lots of tarot card readers and psychics selling their wares on the boardwalks, and of course, some people seemed to be going into their booths. I very much doubt that any of the soothsaying that took place in those places at 20 bucks a reading will be any different than the soothsaying in its results that caused humanity to squander trillions of dollars in this century on the solar and wind faith, for a dire, deadly result which is, essentially, no result other than a dying planet.

Have a nice day today.
