Chip Bok for April 12, 2022

Nuclear is clean just difficult to remove waste

If we had continued to put time, energy and money into alternative energy on an ongoing basis since the 70’s like some far-sighted people wanted, we wouldn’t be in such a mess now with respect to energy in the United States.

What a crock.

And Bok is subsisting on bullshit and a Russian stipend paid through the RNC.

Apparently Chip has never heard of hydroelectric power, or doesn’t admit it exists because so many dams were built by that daybed socialist FDR.

I wish.

The Bok “mind” , always showing ignorance is a preferred lifestyle.

I’m surprised Baghdad Bok moved beyond whaling for oil. He seems to be stuck in the last century.

There are so many people who don’t understand just how many people there are on the earth, and how much food and water and energy is needed to keep those people alive, healthy and not committing genocide over scarce resources.

They all seem to think human beings with a million years of blood on our hands can all just get along peacefully under the heel of one giant boot… (As long as it’s their boot.)

There will never be another coal fired plant built in America. It is not necessary. We may as well burn wood.

Sure, Chip. Let’s just consume all the fossil fuel there is remaining. Pollute our atmosphere to the point of no return. Then what, Chip? Humm? Then what?

Great toon, Chip! Drill, Dementia Joe, Drill!!!

^ Pipsqueak talking out of his arse again.

Bok and his like-minded are purposefully practicing stupid if they can see the solar, wind, geothermal, and hydrological technology all around them and STILL pretend that old, filthy, environmentally destructive oil is actually the future of energy sustainability.

The US uses more energy per person than almost any other nation. Only nations awash in energy use more than we do. Of Europe only Iceland with its renewables use more energy. All of the other nation of Europe including the much colder Scandinavian nations use much less energy.

I don’t understand how we can be emaciated from lack of energy if we are the largest consumer.In short we are still energy Fat despite Boks Fantasy of a Staving Uncle Sam.

He wants to make political hay over the high price of gasoline despite the fact that cheap gas is only made possible by the Death of Ukrainian Children.

Ha, ha, ha! How’s that shutting down all nuclear working for Germany?

There is no way that our nation can push to power everything with solar and wind. I love solar, have it on my house. HUGE proponent of it. Make more than I use…….but I only MAKE juice when the sun is out. If I want a Powerwall it’s another $17,000, on top of the $30,000 I’ve already put into the panels.

Wind is wonderful, love it. But it only MAKES juice when the wind is strong enough to move the turbines.

We are not going to get away from fossil fuels in my lifetime I am pretty sure. But we can push to make things better.

But then there’s the other issue that makes this difficult. The NIMBY crowd. I grew up in Massachusetts. They wanted to put turbines off the coast of Cape Cod. It was fought long and hard by…….wait for it…….the multi millionaires and rich and powerful (and might I add predominantly liberal folks, given that it is Massachusetts after all.) There was one powerful political family goes by the name of Kennedy that cough it hard.

Go research CAPE WIND. They’re far from the only ones. There’s a new version of this being proposed now…….wanna guess who is fighting it?

Funny. Solar is another billionaire scam. Nuclear is the way to go. First fission. Later fusion. And BTW, the stewardship of nature falls to the working class.

More Nuclear.

I’m all for electric vehicles, BUT — still no one has mentioned where all this new electricity is going to come from! The existing grid barely manages current (pun intended) demand as it is….

Ah yes, the “all or nothing” BS fallacy that your type loves to use for any level of progression. Here’s a crazy thought for you… you can do BOTH! Wow! Reduce coal and gas, but don’t give it up entirely.

Uncle Sam’s emaciated appearance is due to our lack of really applying ourselves to alternative energy. It is the future not only for the benefits of cost and ease of production of the energy, but for the environmental benefits, as well.

Cheep.

Toons and doomsday predictions like this remind me of the beginnings of the interstate highway system around Colorado Springs when the highway builders began building overpasses and interchanges first across the eastern Colorado prairies on what would be I-70 and I-25. The conservative news services were ridiculing the highway department for wasting money and resources with poor planning. The engineers tried to explain the logic and efficiency of their design procedure, but numerous R legislators wanted to shut the whole thing down and they damned near nearly did. They never change.

I’m sure the residents of Mariupol are VERY sympathetic to this cartoon. /s

Had we started moving toward green energy independence about the time Ronny Raygun yanked the solar panels off the top of the White House, Uncle Sam would be pure muscle now!

Fusion won’t have waste !

How to spot the tricks Big Oil uses to subvert action on climate change

Three ways fossil fuel companies try to trick the public.

The waste from mining and processing lithium is second in toxicity only to uranium.
