What would transform society would be to get our Govts to stop chartering the limited liability #corporations whose owners are locally unaccountable, and play tag team with snowballing regulators in undermining/hampering economic opportunity+local self-governance. @mattwridley

It would also help if our optimists wd do a little more studying of the work of Nobel laureate Elinor
#Ostrom on the ability (+need) of ppl to successfully collaborate to solve shared problems, if not hamstrung by top-down Govt fiat or unaccountable actors.@ntaleb@jerry_jtaylor

Teleportation would reduce C emissions from the transportation sector.

Oh I see so let’s keep burning fossil fuels while we wait for this technology to become reality if ever? That would be good for Matt’s & fossil fuel friends bank balance wouldn’t it?

This is a repeat of the dreams about nuclear power in the 1950s. Unlikely then, still unlikely now.pic.twitter.com/hhhYPQRQGO

We already have unlimited cheap energy. It's called wind and solar! Done. Next issue... political will.

LOL no it’s not. Look what renewables have done to the price of electricity in Germany and Australia, and what they’re doing in CA. Just because sunlight and wind happen most everywhere doesn’t mean they are cheap to capture, or reliable.

But then there are facts: Saudis building 200GW of
#solar- for a reason. Recent bid price in a India: 2-3 cents / kWh. We need to implement existing technology, not waste money on ever more expensive nuclear US unsubsidized solar price now 6 cents / KWH:https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/09/solar-now-costs-6-per-kilowatt-hour-beating-government-goal-by-3-years/ … -
...the Saudis are also building a couple of nuclear plants but let’s pretend that they’re not, right?

I would have thought an academic would have more respect for the truth than to circulate empty rhetoric from an individual like Matt Ridley.

What's the point of this tweet? Yes it would, but is not a reality...

Wonder where we could get that. I'll have to look up in the daytime sky to ponder the question.

Energy must not foul our nest, too.https://twitter.com/climateofgavin/status/980418278177767424?s=21 …

All forms of energy foul the nest in some way. Nuclear fouls the nest the least. The waste and physical footprints are much smaller than other generation methods.

Nuclear power might be among the cleanest. But it will require a commitment to safety and security, and clean air and water, to make that so. Radiation kills, and it kills more and more cruelly when we pretend it’s cleaner than it is.

Nuclear power is one of the safest generation methods we have, even factoring in Chernobyl and Fukushima.pic.twitter.com/bVdFHYxl0G

And if you think any amount of radiation whatsoever is bad for you, I have bad news about bananas, flying in an airplane, visiting Denver, or going outside.pic.twitter.com/amClzGOodI

Radiation from nuclear power is substantially greater than that from beer. I spent a decade working to get compensation for thousands of Americans injured and killed by radiation “safe” by government decree, in Utah and in uranium mining and processing. Don’t be a schmuck.

Way to put words in my mouth and then pull an ad hominem on me, dude. Bye.
-
You claimed I said something other than what I said, then accuse me of doing that to you. Wow. Question is whether we have the will to make nuclear power safe. Those who argue beer is more dangerous than nuclear power, lack the will.
