Specious Argument Against Nuclear Energy
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.

Thanks, Thies. I had not heard this argument, but it doesn’t surprise me to run across garbage like this.
I’m sure most 2GreenEnergy readers use reusable bags when they shop for groceries and avoid over-packaging.
Though the meme may sound like good news for those of us who prefer democracy to authoritarianism, keep in mind that Trump supporters don’t seem to have the same concern about incoherent bullcrap as the rest of us.
I agree with the content of the meme here, but what makes it worth mentioning is how bizarre all this is. The Republicans have backed themselves into a corner, armed only with lies, hate, abortion bans, criminality, while offering nothing of value to voters other than white nationalism and acting as a wrecking ball against any and all progress.
It looks like Reagan appointee Judge Royce Lamberth is pushing back on our “post-truth” world.
As readers may have noticed, I like to post cartoons that provide insight into Trump’s popularity.

Aristotle brings up a most interesting point here.
The quote here comes from Galileo Galilei.
Re: the graphic here, a reader notes: Honestly, I don’t know how anyone employed by Fox News sleeps at night. They have done more to divide and hurt this country than any other entity in the past 30 years.
