From Thies Beckers, aka the “Atomic Jedi”:

Lately in the Netherlands the anti-nukes have been using the “nuclear waste-heat causes climate change” canard.

I wanted to know how much this was compared to the influence of carbon dioxide on the whole deal. And turns out, waste-heat is insignificant on a global scale. There are some local effects which should be considered, but generally, the benefits of having zero-carbon power vastly outweighs the negatives.

If you’re curious about this issue, check out my video below!

Thanks, Thies.  I had not heard this argument, but it doesn’t surprise me to run across garbage like this.

To the author of the meme here, FWIW, I agree.  My wife employed a decent number of immigrants from Mexico for her horse breeding operation, and I found them to be hardworking, honest, respectful, and family-oriented.

A Few Idiots Believe the Left Really IS Radical

Published

on

The vast majority of Americans have liberal views. We favor a woman’s right to choose abortion, high-quality public education, affordable healthcare, clear air and water, the use of science in policymaking, equal rights for minority ethnicities and religions, and efforts to trim the enormous gap between rich and poor.

It would be very interesting to know what percentage of U.S. voters believe that liberals hate America, that we believe our country “is fundamentally evil and the only remedy is destroying our nation with mass migration (sic).”

Trump’s approval rating is about 30%, and a few percent of that is the amoral super-rich.  So, possibly it’s in the high 20s.

But aren’t there at least some MAGA folks who would concede that educated people don’t necessarily hate America?  My mother lived on a steady diet of Fox News, but even she had respect for Bernie Sanders, about whom she said, “I admire his sincerity, misguided though it is.”
