  1. Solar and wind, as everyone knows, are unreliable, but, worse than that, they totally fk up the environment with their hideous ravaging of countryside and ocean. A plague on them, and bring on as much nuclear as possible asap.
  2. Net zero by 2065? No ploblem. Nice long time in the future.
  3. You should be careful about what you swear by in the business of "trusted" references. You seem to be totally unaware of how fallible Wiki is as a reference (other than for what are undisputed facts, like birth and death and when and what). But Wiki is littered with false opinions. Try this test sometime: if there is some subject you know a lot about, see what Wiki has to say about it when it does not involve undisputed facts. (In earlier days, I often used to caution my students about using Wiki uncritically. What you need when reading Wiki, especially when it involves controversial people or political themes, is sufficient intelligence to sort out what is bias and what is fact. And to be able to do that test satisfactorily you need to be able to thrust to one side your own biased opinion.) See how often an entry on some supposed "far right" (as opposed to "loony left") controversial freak inserts the word "false" into the entry on that person. Here's a typical fictionalized example: why doesn't Wiki say (quite simply): "Trudeau makes the assertion that climate change will bring the world to an end by 2030", rather than (as they would) "Trudeau makes the false assertion that climate change will bring the world to an end by 2030", We don't need that inclusion of "false" to know that everything emanating from that man's mouth is false beyond belief!! Apologies for being long-winded.
  4. Such utterly bigoted drivel should not be allowed to go unchallenged. What makes you so special that you feel free to parade your racism without fear of retribution? Most Christian values, nothing to do with being White, are expressed very strongly by Black Christians, especially in Africa. (Black) African bishops cause the worldwide Anglican church a lot of trouble by their being opposed to homosexuality in general, not just in particular. How easily you resort to the playground abuse ("homophobia") when you come across someone whose opinions you disagree with. And by resorting to racism you demonstrate the weakness of whatever argument you are trying to put across. (In brief, you who talk much about citing references depend ultimately in mere assertions of what is good or bad, or, in other words, opinions - which of course you are at liberty to express till the cows come home.)
