3. "The ship in the picture is powered by bunker oil"

What powers all the vehicles that it takes to build a nuclear plant?

And once again, what you are either purposely leaving out - or don't get yet- is that all those ships will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells or H2 ICE one day, maybe 5 years or maybe 10 years from now.

Vestas pioneers the first hydrogen-powered offshore wind energy vessel

As part of its journey towards becoming carbon neutral by 2030, without the use of offsets, Vestas is pioneering innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions from its own operations. In collaboration with long-term supplier Windcat Workboats, Vestas is launching a pilot program to explore how the world’s first hydrogen-powered crew transfer vessel (CTV) can help reduce carbon emissions from its offshore service operations...https://www.evwind.es/2022/07/04/vestas-pioneers-the-first-hydrogen-powered-offshore-wind-energy-vessel/86824


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


Horseshit. Believe it or not, there are places on the planet where the wind (almost) always blows - like the North Sea. And on the rare occasions when it doesn't, that's where hydrogen enters the picture. But you, in your infinite "wisdom" have ridiculed the tech. Because it's kind of like religion, this Nuclear fixation, isn't it.



Most of those who want a green future realize that it will take more than just wind, more than just solar, more than just hydrogen and more than just nuclear to get there.. It's called 'technology agnosticism' - try it. To push one tech and only one tech is for losers - or "investors" as they would call themselves.


An ex-NASA rover engineer tells us why 'technology agnosticism' will save the planet


You see, ignorance kills people

We finally agree on something.

META: Only one rec at the time of this writing for the biggest wind farm on the planet.

Interesting, that.
