We Americans have been bamboozled. We live in a 1970’s dilapidated, outdated country while the rest of the modern world embraces the future. Everything conservatives touch turns to shit.
As we have been reminded recently, civilisation like this is kind of fragile. Sometimes, out of fucking nowhere and for no apparent reason, you elect a government that hates wind power and decides to go back to nuclear power. Just because they like it better.
They (the right-winged government we have now) just don't want their beach house marred by the view of wind mills in the far horizon, so they want to dismantle windpower and replace it with expensive, slowly built nuclear plants that aren't going to be placed anywhere near their own cozy home ofc.
And the recycling makes sense, not designed to fail like Australia's many and varied different systems most of which don't really work even if the ordinary householder understands and follows the instructions.
