Does this excite you, girl?

They're worried about their precious white babies feeling momentarily discomfort about race, but something I find striking about the whole "woke indoctrination" panic is that's being done by other white people. Just makes me wonder how long it's going to be before they start openly calling people race traitors again.

I haven't thought about it much so only lightly dogpile me but I don't think we could do much wrong by making switch-ready nuke plants to deliver to industrializing nations in the global south. I mean look at how much power consumption went up in Vietnam in the last 10 years, that is an insane amount of industrialization. It's not fair to those folks to say "sorry, no cheap and easy energy to modernize and develop your country, shoulda done your industrial revolution before 1950". Greenhouse emissions are going to continue to rise as population and industrialization in those regions happen, that is just a fact, they aren't going to stop, and really they shouldn't have to. The already-got-ours countries who are concerned about climate change should offer any resources, tech, personnel, money, etc. to make that transition as green as possible, and set those nations out on the right foot with respect to energy portfolio. Unfortunately we have to fight this battle on two fronts because like yall said, lotta environmentalists just like the aesthetics of it.

I did some napkin math for USCE a little bit ago, here it is again:

Here's how quickly France ramped nuclear power.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France

That's roughly 150-350 TWh from 1980-1990, so 200TWh/decade.

In 2022 the US generated 2554 Billion kWh using fossil fuels.
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3

1 billion kWh=1 TWh

So at the same rate France ramped nuclear power, or would take us 2554/200*10=128 years to replace the entire fossil fuel capacity with nuclear power. We would need to do significantly better than they did, but we're bigger and it's 2023.

Vietnam is approaching 250,000 GWh, or 250 TWh. If they built nuclear capacity at the rate of 1970s France, they'd get to 100% of their current capacity in about 12.5 years.

This is all napkin math, but hopefully it helps give a rough sense of scale.

Also holy poo poo we use so much more power in the US.

Back then though the French built a plant in like 5-6 years, now the industry is so crippled it takes a decade. Still, it looks like Vietnam is generating ~20GW of power from fossil fuels, which would take about 12 of the new big-rear end reactors. If you could build that many in parallel, that would be that though, yeah. Also if Vietnam could actually afford it.

Though imo we should make a global fund to finance carbon-free energy for whoever wants to build it out. Like some sort of bank for the whole world.

History shows that every successful protest is, at it's heart, directed towards children getting off their school bus. Make sure that the powerful hear your voice.

It is loving wild the absolute spread of reaction by police to a guy standing around with a gun in this country though. Like this dude can come intimidate elementary kids, and some other dude will get multiple cops surrounding him while he's heading off to go hunting.

My dad was talking to my cousin the other day, and my cousin still supports Trump and the 2nd Amendment despite saying "yeah, I don't go to malls, I don't feel safe there, too many guns."

If you bathe yourself in the right-wing media sphere, it seems you lose the ability to recognize cause and effect.

My town replaced the old shed style bus stops design with similar nonsense a few years back. The new design lasted a couple of weeks since it cannot handle rain and/or wind worth poo poo and people protested. Only for the lack of weather protection aspect, the clear anti-homeless motive wasn't ever mentioned.

It's a revolutionary bus shelter design that is going to be a gamechanger for gender equity and inclusion at bus stops.

The bench is the issue. For real. The "innovation" is not having to clean the bench so the bus company won't have to maintain them. The design aspect or inclusivity nonsense is a smoke screen.

There is a place for discussing gender inclusivity in public transport, but that ain't it.

Of course whenever an actual social reformer comes out and says something like "women shouldn't be afraid to ride the night train, and we'll look at every possible solution" it gets spun into "crazy idiot jam grandad wants women in separate cattle cars"
