7. Repeating this delusional "percent talk" chanting will not change...

...reality.

The solar and wind industry, for all the years antinukes have been carrying on to build this worthless junk at a cost of trillions of dollars, was never about attacking climate change.

The Germans didn't build all that rickety junk that will be landfill in 20 years because they were concerned about climate change.

They deliberately destroyed valuable climate change gas free infrastructure to switch from nuclear to gas, and when the were embarrassed by the fact that Putin used all the money they sent him to kill Ukrainians, they switched to coal.

The wind and solar industry can't even match in it's totality, after half a century of wild cheering, the year to year growth in the use of dangerous fossil fuels about which its antinuke sales team have never given, and currently don't, give a shit.

Instead they hype endless Rube Goldberg schemes of redundancy, all in the form of soothsaying and what if statements, to represent that their unreliable, expensive and environmentally odious junk isn't driving energy poverty and the destruction of the planetary atmosphere. But when the wind isn't blowing and the sun not shining, the burn fossil fuels, killing people and driving climate change.

All the chanting about hydrogen and batteries is wishful thinking, and any effort to embrace this pixilated scheme will do exactly what all the antinuke rhetoric has already successfully effectively accomplished, vast irretrievable destruction by appeals to fear and ignorance.

Have a nice day.
