Has nobody done any reading into "free energy"? What makes you think your kosher view on energy is reasonable when people have been screaming for centuries and dying silently over free energy

You either believe what the media says, or you don't. If you do, then there is no discussion. If you don't, then listen up.

Coal is not such a bad idea. It is only a bad idea because it creates CO 2 gas. Then again, we just agreed to not believe the mass media propaganda. In that case, getting away with coal was stupid.

If coal and CO 2 is indeed dangerous, then we have other options. Unfortunately, those other options are mostly blocked by Big Oil. Maybe they block nuclear too, why not. Then again, having nuclear waste that is going to be toxic and untouchable forever is not the way to a better future, methinks.

Whatever we have done so far, in a worst case scenario, brings us back to the stone age. Nuclear has the potential to wipe out all life on earth. All life meaning anything that is bigger than bacteria.

Nuclear power is a danger to humanity world wide. If nuclear has to be used let's use a safer Thorium based self controlled system.

Chernobyl blew up because they disabled the safeties on a reactor with a defective design. Political interference.

It HAS always been interesting to me, that despite being by FAR a better way to produce energy than coal fired plants, it's always been vilified in pop media. . . Given how much money is in the petrochemical and coal power production industries though, it wouldn't have to be (((Them))) - there's plenty of goy money interest in fighting it.

Just a tid bit (even though I don't think failures were caused by (((them))) ), 3 mile island was caused because a valve opened like it should have, then the signal to the computers said it had closed, but it didn't. This caused injection pumps to push more water in and it fucked up the whole thing. There was no system in place to SEE the position of the valve, you just had to go by what the computers said.

i will be following up on your tid bit for sources.

If you were really interested you could just do a 10 second search. It's very well known this was the point of failure, not some outrageous claim. I don't know why people think they are owed sources on everything. You want the information, go search it. I'm not a news channel nor am I writing a report. In the time you waited for me to log back on, you could have easily educated yourself.

I think you have a good point here.
