Again I'm not disagreeing with everybody. I'm just saying they're not saving as much as they think they are and it's not as renewable as they think it is. And if you own your in system entirely how long has it been since you've had maintenance done? And how much does the maintenance cost? I'm not against it I'm thinking about getting it myself. I just know the things that I'm saying are fact that's all

Do you realise that if we don't get off fossil fuels, the the planet will be increasingly inhospitable for humans?

Oh yeah I realize that. Anyone in the world would be crazy not to. And I don't disagree with that at all. In my opinion hydrogen and which sounds bad nuclear power which is what stars are made of is what we need. We don't need something that is going to make it worse faster than the fossil fuels we use now. And that's what that is doing.

Nuclear is necessary but wholly insufficient, as nuclear:

  • has very long commissioning time

  • more expensive than renewables and the costs are divergent. Solar is halving in cost every 5 years.

  • proliferation risks

  • spent fuel containment

  • very poor horizontal scalability

  • it's carbon footprint is no better than wind and only fractionally better than solar
