In Orwell's 1984 there were machines that created songs. Basic pop songs on topics favored by low income intellectual majority of that fictional world. "Cool idea, but unlikely to happen. How can machine produce music? Impossible!" - was probably the thought of readers 15+ years ago.

>ideologue
if this man is indeed an ideologue behind the leading political force in America then it's a gift to foreign powers like China and Russia: they not only would sack all of the allies America had but even pieces of America itself or maybe America in its entirety

Colour revolution. Maidan. Whatever you call it, this protest is inorganic and American-funde… OH WAIT

Won't be cheap that's for sure.
But take also geopolitical implications into account. In a situation when nothing but nuclear weapons would guarantee the sovereignty of your country.

There always is. Places far from large rivers suitable for cooling the reactors. Diversification of sources (some fuels or components could get compromized). Off-grid solutions for individuals living in a single family homes.

A prime example of nuclear scare delaying the green transition. People are supposed to learn from mistakes of others.

they don't work or some people want other people think they don't work?

I forgot that everything, including laws of physics work differently in Australia. My bad.

ouch, wind and solar are the most subsidized generation technologies in the world receiving record subsidies in 2024

My point is: if Germany hadn't that nuclear scare going on for so long, they'd end up emiting way less than they are currently doing and wouldn't fall for the Russian gas trap.
Nuclear + Wind + Solar = 0 emissions;
Coal + Gas + Wood + Wind + Solar = a lot of emissions.

>you switched to 2 countries
I never switched anything, I am comparing apples to apples: 2 neighboring similar-sized EU countries without their own oil&gas solving their electricity generation, one with a "nuclear derangement syndrome" affecting their policies, and the other - open minded.

I never compared anything to Australia, you brought Australia unprompted.

Again. The majority "renewables" attributed by adding 8% so called biomass. Biomass means firewood. Germans would count combustible firewood as green energy source and do other statistical sophistry. While the French just receive their NPP electricity cheaply since 80s.

>You aren't remembering right.
no that is you who not getting it right and put up some graph that only analyze renewable sources
Majority of generation in Germany are still fossils. Now compare it to France which got into NPPs early and how much less CO2 they emited for all these years.

You remember Germany, right? A bunch of green lunatics with nuclear fearmongering. So. They closed all their NPPs and burned gas and now they also burn coal. Very cool.

Зеленський виконав вимогу божевільного террориста вимагавшего публічно порекомендувати фільм Земляни. Зеленьскому не має бути важко вибачитися перед примхливим "королем" Америки. І наступного разу брати перекладачів із собою.

A common tactic of a seasoned diplomat: bring a translator to the conversation even if you know the language very well, translation latency will give you some time to plan your responce and made impossible for the opposing party to spam you with verbal attacks

If China talks about Musk out of the blue, maybe Musk is the agent of the CCP? He said he was guaranteed Starlink won't work in Taiwan, also having Tesla factories and sales in China, also CATL batteries deal.

TikTok should be banned. It is controlled by China (which themselves blocked every single one US media) and can influence democratic processes in the west by promoting country-wreckers via rigged algorithm. It is dangerous.

In the countries that have oligarchy, usually an oligarch supporting a presidential candidate and and a candidate become fierce enemies before the end of the first year of the term. My bet on Trump labeling Musk an agent of China at some point and do anything to hinder his businesses.

Putin grew up in poor area of St. Petersburg among the so called gopniks. For these people even being polite is a sign of weakness. Deescalation for Putin is an open invitation to fuck around.

stopping to show force to Russia would mean the west is weak, so they will try pushing to find how much the west is willing to give

Why even fight if possible casualties can be completely avoided if US just surrenders to China right away, gives them seats in congress, gives land for their military bases on US soil.
