NUCLEAR WASTE IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! Unshielded & fresh out of the reactor exposure for seconds would result in certain death. But somehow there has not been a single documented death from storing civilian nuclear waste. Ever. Here's what you need to know: a 🧵

Interesting slide from Siemens Gamesa, the 2nd world's largest manufacturer of wind turbines. It reports that onshore turbine orders dropped 46.3% y-on-y in the last quarter. And the cost of those turbines (€ per MWh) went up 25% y-on-y | #EnergyCrisis #Windturbines

Energy and electricity are not the same. In Germany 39% of electricity came from gas&coal, 33% from wind&solar. Not bad for renewables. HOWEVER: Primary energy was 78(!!!)% oil, gas, and coal - renewables only 17%. How about heating? 74% Oil&gas. These distinctions matter.

Yes,there is something very wrong with your picture. This is the picture of Ontario’s spent nuclear fuel storage. Safe, secure with costs included in the contracted price! Can the same be said for unregulated ‘renewables’ like wind turbines, solar panels and storage batteries?

Nuclear & storage are feasible because nuclear reduces storage requirements to a diurnal cycle rather than the week long/seasonal requirements for wind & solar. Nuclear can also charge storage reliably whereas wind & solar cant be counted on to recharge after storage depletion.

Mining up all the metals on the planet competes directly with farming. There is not enough diesel fuel. There’s no electric mining, either. Wind-solar-batteries will starve us out via diesel inflation.

It takes about 15 litres of diesel fuel to plant and harvest an acre of wheat. Nobody makes battery electric farm equipment to replace fossil fueled equipment. Friendly reminder that we need oil to produce food and don’t have a replacement.

Ok, lets talk about EVs. How much mining is required to make an EV battery? Lithium brines typically contain less than 0.1% lithium, so that entails some 25,000 pounds of brines to get the 25 pounds of pure lithium needed to fabricate a single battery. #GreenEnergy

Proponents of renewable energy continue to claim that wind and solar are the cheapest forms of energy available. Yet, they can't produce a single real-world example of dropping energy costs following increased wind and solar added to the grid. Not a single one.
