  1. Nuclear energy, green and reliable. And we save the spent fuel because who knows what we can do with it in the future.

    1. Green? What is so “green” about nuclear energy? I’ve got nothing against it. France has primarily relied on it for energy since WWII, without any single incident. People like to swim in the effluence because of the warmth. There has been no hint of increased cases of cancer.
      But it is not green.
      I’ll tell you what is green. Carbon fuels. The waste product, if you call them that, are water and carbon dioxide, both beneficial for plant growth. That is green. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has greened the Sahara Desert. Satellite maps leave no doubt about the veracity of that statement. But it has not caused higher temperature, not for the over half century they’ve been screaming about it. In fact, going back in geological history, higher temperature has preceded higher carbon dioxide concentration, not the other way around.

      1. Well, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous Ages, CO2 levels were 3 to 4 times higher than today (1100 ppm to 1700 ppm CO2), plants were bigger and so were what munched on them and munched on the munchers. Nobody died from CO2 poisoning. The only thing to change that scenario was a chunk of space junk, 65 million years ago. Besides, CO2 is readily adsorbed in H2O and forms a thick block of mountainous material just west of me, about 40,000 feet thick, the length of North and South America combined. The same applies to most continents, worldwide. We really should be looking to move off this rock before the the next one hits

        1. For you none geologists PO is referring to limestone and dolostone (dolomite), the prime lithologies of the Rocky Mountains and other mountain ranges.

    2. Quite right, Dwayne. We know very well how to use the spent fuel. There are a host of technologies to harness the remaining 98% of the energy potential left in the fuel after it’s been used once.

  2. I’m going to have to watch this tonight.
    But Gang Green should/shall be forced to depend on the energy sources they have imposed on the taxpayers.
    We need a cull,round them up,as they keep proposing be done to us, herd them into some virgin land,soon to be warmed by unstoppable Global Warming and let them live the dream..
    With us insisting they abide by all the stupid little caveats and nitpicking rules they have stuck us with..
    For with the weapons grade gullibility of Gang Green and their unholy lust for power over others,they form a threat very similar to their namesake..
    Banishing them from our luxurious,technological society is only fair.
    They hate it.
    Hate us.
    And insist it all be shut down.
    Boot them out.

  3. No matter how many times the truth is told, the terminally stupid will remain terminally stupid.

    1. That entire presentation would have to be put to music, and a special dance created each key point being made. Inotherwords, unless that video is made into 135 TikTok videos danced and sung by some really ‘hot’ girls and guys … it will never penetrate the mushy-pea brains of the average European, American, or Canadian voter.

      What!? You don’t think public policy is being made by any brighter individuals than that?

  4. Well we could Purchase an Area in Siberia ( Now USA territory) that the Russians could Manage for a fee… The little Marxist beavers would get educated on the art of survival…. Throw in a few Cannibals & Vegans…

    The replacement Energy source will be Superconductivity… Supersonic Drones & all… put a laser beam in Putin’s ear…….

  5. “For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.”

    Richard Feynman

  6. I can’t understand why Alberta spends one penny on wind or solar when hydro is almost untapped. The sad reality is that Kenny might actually be stupider than Red Rachel. He knows wind and solar is all bullshit and still does it.

    1. Alberta has had a wind energy industry for over forty years, thanks to fortunate geography. Alberta’s wind sector was the largest in Canada up until the turn of the century. It was never subsidized in it’s early years. It was small, niche, and predomentantly paid its own way. Then the virtue-signalers came along.

    1. I’m gathering you may have read USN Captain Ike Keifer and his dissertation on the non Viability of Bio Fuels as a reliable Resource for the US Navy…? A MOST EXCELLENT 14 page Brief..!!

      That is where I first saw/heard the term: Energy Return On Energy INvested.

      Fossil Fuels: 8:1
      Bio Fuels: 1.3:1
      Wind..?? Likely 0.25:1

      And in showing that EROEI, one must also then add in the negative benefits of Food crop loss now going to produce Ethanol etc.

      Nothing beats Fossil Fuels….Nothing.

      1. Yes, but don’t call them “fossil fuels.” They aren’t. And as we discover more and more sources, we have known reserves to the end of the century rather than just another ten years, it becomes less and less tenable a hypothesis to think they all came from fossil, vegetable or animal.

  7. That video is full of facts and logic. WTF are greentards going to do with facts and logic besides crush their own narrative and explode their cognitive dissonance?

  8. We drove across the top ends of Dundas and Stormont Counties on Sunday. Dozens of these monstrosities standing there completely idle … and lots of new ones under construction.

    And this is Doug Ford country – you know … the guy who promised to scrap/cancel/urinate on Dalton’s Green Energy Act. So It beggars the mind that this would be happening in a riding with a sitting Conservative MPP.

    But it all boiled down to math, didn’t it? The political clout of greedy landowners who have no qualms about enriching themselves on the misery of others, outweighed that of the victims.

  9. Oh btw folks, I just heard our latest CPC leader O’Toole tell me he’s all on board with the Paris Climate Agreement.
    How wonderful. Same sh*t…different day.

    And yes, Jamie, I can’t believe what comes out of Doug Ford’s mouth at times. Conservatives brought him to the dance so what does he do?…Sh*ts on his base.

    1. ” … Conservatives brought him to the dance so what does he do?…Sh*ts on his base.”

      Indeed. And they’ll vote for the big pink prick again. Just like there’s lots of SDAers who’ll vote for Tiger O’Toole … even though he’s officially as green as the contents of Lushy May’s snotrag.

      1. Indeed ….

        But there just ain’t enough small c conservatives of the libertarian type.

        1. Jesus Fucking Christ!
          Plain and simple: a vote for a K-becer is a vote that enriches K-bec at the expense of the ROC.
          If Max had moved away and lived west of Perth ON for 20 years then different story. Maybe.
          But to say a K-becer (French OR English) is going to lead Canada out of its socialist death dive is just insane.

          1. ” … If Max had moved away and lived west of Perth ON for 20 years then different story…”

            Okay! I get it!

            So, like Nenshi or Prentice or Redford ? That would work for you?

      2. Max got 3% of the Canadian electorate in 2019. And that was without any social conservative baggage. Sorry, Max or Sloan aren’t going to cut it.

        1. Chris, Max is not the problem, the Canadian electorate are and they are selfish socialists, damn near all of em.

  10. The majority of greenies don’t understand that there’s more to electricity than voltage. They keep saying that they can plug in their electric car overnight, and insist that we all do it. They need to play with a garden hose, then with a fire hose connected directly to the fire hydrant, which has the same pressure but far more volume, and see the difference. Same thing with electricity. We’d need a LOT of it if vehicles are all to be electric.

    But then, we’re talking facts, and they don’t understand facts or engineering. Only feelings. Wishful thinking. Spoiled kids that have always gotten what they demanded when they were growing up. The laws of parenting are, however, a lot softer than the laws of physics. If we keep going green those facts are going to rise up and smack us all in the face.

    1. ” The majority of greenies don’t understand …”

      WON’T. Not don’t.

      It’s stupidity at work, not ignorance.

    2. A Question I have asked for over 15 yrs.

      Y’all want the planet to use EV’s eh..??
      Where the F are you planning to acquire the MASSIVE Amounts of Generation that is required.?

      Hydro.? 99% of it tapped out – nothing left to dam.
      Coal – Nat Gas – Diesel.? Fat chance of that..
      Wind – Solar.? a Colossal JOKE
      …..so uh, that leaves NUCLEAR and for some reason I don’t see ONE environmental Org putting their stamp of approval on that – EVER.

      EV’s are a NOTHING BURGER. Period.
      A World run 100% on electricity..?? A Nothing Burger at this stage of our development….nor in any time in the foreseeable future.

      But…here’s the rub. If 7 Billon of us weren’t around anymore..?? there’d be PLENTY of Generating Capacity to power the ~1 Million EV’s of the ELITES Now wouldn’t it eh.???

      THEY want us ALL DEAD….believe it, they do.

  11. If one believes in the Climate change global warming story…. The CO2 alone isn’t doing the trick, the calculated effect is too small, one needs to amplify it with water vapor to create the image of something dangerous for media, politics and people.
    Water vapor is the “most dangerous” (= Most effective) climate change agent, responsible for 90% of the greenhouse effect on planet earth.
    So after decades of getting big $$$ all over the world … the solution is to convert green electricity into hydrogen, the is burned to water vapor.
    Great.
    Green energy is a fraud, except for very few, isolated uses. Nuclear, and conventional energy keeps the wheels turning and people alive.

  12. The whole purpose is to make Liberal political buddies extremely wealthy while funnelling some of the taxpayer dollars back into Liberal party coffers.
    Only idiots from the Centre of the Universe and Montreal actually believe the BS.

  13. Big screen TV needs electricity to work. (in California)

    California Looter Frustrated His New TV Requires Electricity To Work

    SANTA MONICA, CA—Local Black Lives Matter protestor and prolific looter Shawndo Boogerlilly took to Twitter yesterday to express his frustration after realizing his newly acquired TV needed electricity to work properly. After a successful night of looting a local electronics store and scoring a flat-screen, he returned home triumphantly, only to discover the power was off in his apartment.

    Thanks to the ongoing blackouts affecting California, every apartment building on his street was without power. . .

  14. The scammers are making money– so that never changes.
    The Green Movement is succeeding in causing more pollution everywhere where the nutters try to apply it. It is pure insanity.

  15. Windmills, solar PV panels, and solar thermal plants are the modern version of the Pet Rock. They will never
    account for more than a fraction of an industrial nation’s power needs. Dr. Dixie Lee Ray pointed out that
    a PV solar or solar array that would power New York City would require more area than the city itself. Add
    windmills to the equation, (all of which are intermittent) they are simply unfeasible and are the most costly
    than any other form of energy production. What about hydroelectricity? Cheap for sure, but America is
    running out of places to build dams. That leaves nuclear energy, which is violently opposed by the
    environmental left. I have read quotes that will curl your hair. They do not want safe and reliable energy,
    they want NO energy whatsoever! Their goal is feudal and tribal societies with no science and no medical
    systems where women die during childbirth and some medicine man is rattling bones in a bag to cure you.

    Socialism is tribalism played out on a grand scale. Thomas Hobbes had this to say about tribalism is:

    “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. The left is made of Malthusians, Luddites, and Rousseauians
    who want to take the world back to the stone age!

    1. I wonder how Edmonton green progressives would react if they realized that a nuclear reactor (an AECL Slowpoke model) was operating for years and years right in the heart of their hip little neighbourhood? (Univ of Alberta)
