I see the same knucklehead reaction everytime Jupiter’s moon Europa is mentioned during a discussion of space exploration and colonization. Someone will repeat the line “All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landing there” from the movie ‘2010’.
If we had went all in on nuclear power in the '60s and '70s there would be no emissions issue today. There would still be a climate crisis, because this is more about power and control than generating electricity.
The No Nukes people managed to conflate nuclear power with nuclear weapons, thanks to Moscow and useful idiots. It makes it hard to listen to Jackson Browne, even though my girlfriend loves him.
The Freeze movement was Moscow wanting to stop the deployment of Pershing IIs and GLCMs in Western Europe. We have Maggie, Ronnie, Helmut Kohl to thank for staying the course and bringing the Soviets down, which is why the Soviets bankrolled the Freeze movement. Nuclear power was a useful annex because of the word "nuclear" and because not using nuclear energy would weaken the West. The Soviets went all in on nuclear power but did it badly.
Some people are rethinking the issue. Waiting for Jackson Browne...
Maizan got away with it because, in his mind, it’s not really about communism: the lying, corrupt Soviet officials are really a stand in for the Trump administration. It’s a a hell of a stretch, and another hilarious example of a left wing media overthinking a theme and completely missing their intended mark.
I got that mostly from the companion podcast; the show is tremendously well made and sticks to the material instead of shoehorning some obvious political shots. It was just very funny to hear the showeunner go on the Chernobyl podcast and talk about how this proves lies are corrosive and he intended it as a metaphor for how much Trump lies when it’s clearly about the miserable failure of communism.
There is no end to the folly of the Left. Are there any Giants among us the likes of those Mr. Puttre mentions? If there were we would not be saddled with our present situation. So it is left to the common man. I hope there are enough of us.
Here in California I had to buy a generator to ensure I am not affected by rolling brownout. Crazy!
I can remember a time when "California was the place to be." Even if it wasn't Beverly Hills.

It’s A MOVIE. A scifi movie for chrisesakes.
No one actually said that.
It’s NOT the 11th Commandment.
HAHA… I… might be guilty of doing that from time to time, myself… 😬

Indeed!

Yeah maybe… it definitely backfired if that’s the case though because the comparison was not overtly made.
