If you’re really fit.

Because they wanted bombs.

Corruption. The answer is always corruption.

That’s what the fossil and nuke lobby have been claiming for decades and they have been wrong at every turn. They’ll still be making the same claims once we’re at 100% renewable, which is pretty much inevitable at this point.

Sure, buddy.

Yes, at least for the Europeans that is very much the case. The Germans, for instance, were always morally appalled by the more overtly violent aspects of US Imperialism, but were perfectly happy to hide under their coattails and let them do the dirty work. The deal was that Europe world accept US hegemony in exchange for military protection. Nobody could ever imagine that the US would just rip up that deal because it will definitely hurt them more than everybody else.

All nuclear programs were started for military purposes. “Civilian” nuclear power has always been a fig leaf. While the current Chinese thorium effort is a break from that tradition, it’ll be far too late to make any impact.

Blaming capitalism for every evil in the world is just dumb. Surely Stalin and Mao started their nuclear programs because of capitalism?

The old “renewables can’t do intermittency” trope is so tired by now. Battery storage is taking off in a big way and solar is simply unstoppable. Nuclear is never going to be an economically viable technology any more.

It’s a logical next step. While these are interesting results, this technology is still a long way from commercial viability. After the 10 MW installation is operational, they’ll have to run it for a few years before they can even start designing a grid scale plant. Or maybe they’ll even have to scale up by another order of magnitude first, which would give only 100MW. Then they have to build it, test it, iron out the kinks etc. Once they have a grid scale plant, they can start commercialising the technology, provided it actually proves viable at scale. We’re looking at 20 to 30 years even at the most optimistic estimate. I’d say 40 is more realistic.

Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon should all be split up. Unfortunately that’s as unlikely to happen as any other sensible policy decision from the current US administration.

I’m sure they’re thinking about it. Anyone who buys one of those deserves no better.

I tried the YouTube app exactly once. Since then my TV doesn’t have an internet connection any more.

Just don’t connect it to the internet.

Giving in to bullies just leads to more bullying.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

An abomination! St. Linus be with us!

Trump and Vance are the revenge of the unqualified white idiots.

Or just simple common sense.

It’s called not being an utter moron.
