...... But, neither of us nor anyone can say for SURE that the Oil and Gas industry did NOT fund anti-nuke rallies either DIRECTLY or by using anti-nuke propaganda. The Oil and Gas industry has some SMART covert operators that may have infiltrated the anti-nuke movement. They have the money and the motivation to hire the BEST covert operators. And they have been excelling at PROPAGANDA for as long as we have been alive. They are the industry that gets paid for NOT DRILLING.....pretty special......no ??????
.....Oil and gas practically owns one TV channel that can convince Americans that black is white.

And believe it or don't ......we can actually agree about your 2nd paragraph about the safety of nuclear energy plants. And I also twice pointed out that Oliver Stone made that point at Davos (anyone can google that). And some poster badmouthed Oliver Stone. Well, he would HAVE to be a pretty sharp "cookie" to be able to have directed and produced some of the top films ever produced. I bet he is EVEN smarter than me. But, more IMPORTANTLY, Davos just does not just let any old "wineo" come in out of the street and speak to the greatest businessmen on the planet. Oliver Stone is a legendary intellect that has a GOOD point to make and deserves a seat at the table with the TOP THINKERS of our time !!!!!!

.....But, it is GREAT that yourself and maybe others looked up the % of ICE because it is another (of many) proofs that the planet has warmed to record levels in the past 8 years. Contrary to what one poster claims. And another keeps believing that I am talking in Geological centuries, when in fact I am talking about real-time, right now, when CO2 is not able to be taken in by the amount of plants on earth and the upper atmosphere is acting like a blanket and setting records for HEAT on Earth. Somehow, I am having difficulty getting my point across. I can understand that some people may NOT care. And some people may have a different opinion, but what I don't understand is why after I have put out so many different FACTS, why my statement of those facts is attacked ??????

I also covered the last ? in a prior post. Electrical vehicles are simpler to design, build, maintain, and fuel than gas vehicles. They also have a lower center of gravity so the accelerate quicker and they ROLL OVER with more difficulty, especially golf carts. So, this SIMPLICITY will, over time and more production, lead to LESS costly and more reliable vehicles. Plus it does NOT take a Nostradamus to realize that E-Vehicles are the FUTURE.
.......But, this Nostradamus is predicting that he will have to repeat a similar post for the next 5 years
........and to all a goodnight ......

It took her awhile, but she is young and TIME is on her side. It probably would NOT be the BEST thing for the WORLD if Oliver Stone traveled that SAME way....SLOWLY.
..........Oliver Stone is at the PEAK of his productive and artistic life so I don't think if we voted on having him fly or take a slow boat, that the majority would NOT want him to fly. The SAME can be said for Presidents, Congress people, Generals, sports stars, etc. In the future, maybe they can take aircraft and boats powered by Fusion engines and there will be nothing to complain about.

Electric Cars are a joke - batteries are worse for the planet than fossil fuels. etc. etc. Develop real energey solutions, not solar/wind where the elites are skimming billions of dollars.

That's Oliver Stone... Being a movie producer, or an actor, for that matter means nothing other than you can produce movies or act...

And now you're going with the oil & gas industry "infiltrated the anti-nuke movement???

I gotta' give you credit. You do continue to "jamuse" me! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Hey, I just thought of something, I may write to Oliver Stone and suggest that he get a script written and direct a movie about how the Gas and Oil industries paid subversive agents to embed themselves within the anti-nuke and anti-oil spill radical lefty wing-nuts. Maybe Greta Thunberg IS a DOUBLE-agent. Oh boy.......the plot thickens. Maybe I will even write that book......that will keep me busy, out of trouble, and off the pages of TOTV for a year. But, I might be missed.....or NOT.

He went off the deep end decades ago...

And here's what your idol does when she's alone...

"Plastics"...

As to E-vehicles being a "joke" and E-batteries "being worse for the planet than fossil fuel".....that MAY OR MAY NOT be true - regardless, battery technology is in the Model T - type early days of development. They will, in coming years get lighter, stronger, available everywhere, produce more current, and will probably be recyclable into new, refreshed batteries. I read a story on a NEW battery concept with an air dielectric between the + and - plates. Development will accelerate just like an E-vehicle can accelerate far quicker than an in-fer-nal combustion antique vehicle. See all those pistons STRUGGLING to go up and then down, while the E-vehicle engine is SMOOTHLY turning in a circle.

Saudi Arabian officials themselves have stated that they will run out of OIL in 20 YEARS. So, what do you think that will do to the price of oil and a gal of gasoline? Gas could become so expensive that ICE vehicles become LAWN ornaments. Meanwhile, electric vehicles' prices will be down and electric energy will be generated by CLEAN, SAFE nuclear reactors, or even some new, better technology.

"run out of oil in 20 years?" America is supposed to have another 500 years worth. Ever heard of ICE being fueled by used fast food oil? Ever heard of fuel made from corn? Sugar?
Battery powered cars. Yes, they have been around for over a hundred years. Don't you think that if they were so great that they would be more popular by now? I suppose "some" folks believe that the oil industry conspiracy would be that great amounts of money is being used to subdue electric car exploration?
Maybe electric power will replace ICE but it's rather stupid to ban ICE before electric power is a plausible replacement. And that is exactly what is being attempted, banning a reasonable mode of transportation to be replaced by inadequate pie in the sky ideas. Replacing the horse pulling a wagon with a goat is not considered improving ones ability to travel. All we are doing right now is attempting to take away the low income populations' ability to travel to their places of employment, shopping and medical appointments. Electric vehicles are out of the low income populations' grasp.

Regardless of Mr. Stone's qualifications for speaking there.......He DID speak there and I agree with him that the recent modern version of Nuclear Energy has great potential to REDRESS the major problems of Global Warming (species extinction being only one small problem) Coal mining causes injuries and hurts the environment. Gas pipes leading to residential homes are notorious for leaking. Gas stoves have exploded from time to time and caught homes on fire. In the past, there was a large oil pipe rupture spilling oil throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
.......So basically, ALL types of energy have the POWER to produce destruction. After all, they have POWER which can NOT be perfectly functioning at ALL times.
