UPDATE: Quixim, in comments on the previous post: Do I detect a hint of scorn at the prospects of nuclear power? I know that you’re aware it’s perfectly clean, and even less radioactive than coal power, not as damaging to ecosystems as hydroelectric, and more feasible than tidal or wind… So… for something that can […]

The continuing experiments on Bob Bussard’s theories of IEC fusion power generation seem to be going better than anticipated. I’ve said before that I don’t think fusion power is a likely solution to our energy and pollution problems given the timeframe involved, and I stick by that. However, that’s no reason not to fund it […]

Police in Minneapolis conducting raids on suspected protestors. Again, for emphasis: not suspected criminals, not actual criminals, not even protestors with a history of criminal acts.

(I’m taking a course in climate change law this year, so I’ve been doing a lot of pre-reading for it. This is a series of thoughts I wanted to pass on as I did my reading.) By this point, everybody except the kooks and the desperate liberal-haters know that global warming is serious business. Most […]
