Of course, while I have no idea what DQIII...blah...blah...blah...means, I assume it to be what someone might take kind of attempt at wit.

Usually, it's pretty mindless, like emojis - my favorite from dumb guys is ROFL - and the like, but it's not like the rhetoric of clowns matters all that much at this point. The maximizing of the kill rate of ignorance has probably peaked.

One of the interesting things about anti-nukes is that they giggle at a tragedy. Eighteen thousand people died from air pollution today, some of them in Germany and it's bordering countries from fossil fuel waste.

I often quote the Lancet paper for the death toll rates per GWh for burning lignite in a power plant, but let's face it, anti-nukes seldom look up from their cartoons at anything like, um, numbers. If it's not calling for the expenditure of trillions of dollars to prevent their little brains from being exposed to a cesium-135 atom, they couldn't care less about numbers, not the death toll of burning fossil fuels, not the cost of climate change, not about the millions of hectares that burned in forests in the 2022 northern summer, nothing except maybe, oh what was it, I know, penny pinching about spending money on Vogtle to leave something for future generations to use.

Anti-nukes are a laugh a minute, if and only if they laugh at their own jokes.

As for worshipping the picture like a Catholic worshipping a picture of the "blessed virgin..."

I wouldn't expect, of course, an anti-nuke to understand how steel is made for the monstrous device in the picture for which cheering (or even reverent genuflection) is expected. I never met one who gives enough of a shit about the world as to open a science book, but they sure love to look at cartoons.

That piece of shit will be landfill in 20 years, if not sooner. The generation that are toddlers today will be charged with cleaning that piece of shit up for bourgeois assholes who didn't think in 2022.

People who give a shit, by the way, don't "jump up and down" like assholes at a Greenpeace convention dressed up in monkey suits. Often they weep.

You see, ignorance kills people, in the case of fossil fuel waste, the generation of which on which the wind and solar scams depend, again, about 18,000 people per day.

Those lives mattered.

The ship in the picture is powered by bunker oil, rather like the barges that hauled that greasy piece of shit wind turbine out to sea.

But, of course, if one is dumb enough to call a "home" a unit of energy, one obviously wouldn't know that.

The cost of electricity hit 1,000 Euros per MWh yesterday in Germany.

I guess the wind isn't blowing so well, the poor can just die if it gets too hot, right?

There's nothing really amusing about people who just don't give a shit, nothing at all.
