I wasn’t trying to disprove your statement but rather was disagreeing with your base premise.
I can point you to a few thousand economists each with decades of experience behind them who don’t actually have the first clue of what is happening with the economy because their entire knowledgebase (Keynesianism) is built on faulty foundations; but they’re certain they’re right all the same.
Just because “experts” think they know something, it doesn’t mean they do (and yes that applies to me too), especially when their foundational understanding of the field is built atop sandcastles.
So I’m not claiming you know nothing nor that I know it all, rather I am saying I don’t believe the “science” around energy production based on the repeated failures of expert predictions - when reality denies expert claims they are not just to be blindly believed.
What I am claiming is that humanity would be better off harnessing as much energy as it can readily/economically get its hands on and leveraging that into iterating better energy tech. We have instead stagnated entirely because of the US.
Wind and solar are NOT the most productive energy sources by any measure whatsoever - they are a step backwards embraced politically out of climate cultism ideology. They are not suitable for where humanity is and their embrace will set us back even further than the US’ curtailing of nuclear did which is societal suicide.
I don't think wind and solar are step backwards.
I think it's more like: when we arrive that city 10000kms away, we will have lunch in this restaurant.
So let's drop this useless bags full of supplies. We're not gonna need them.
Wind and solar demonstrably output less energy for capital investment today than any other form of energy.
Nuclear outputs shit tons more with its longer lifecycle.
Going to denser energy forms that the US blocked was my original point. We’re missing 50 years of scientific advances in nuclear because of the petrodollar and if we had them even raising solar and wind would look retarded; like advocating for the abacus as the best way to advance mathematics when we have 3nm microprocessors already.
The harm inflicted by the petrodollar isnt just monetary. It fucked our whole tech tree. This is what the PayPal mafia have realised and put their energy towards.
You might not like them or their paths forward but they have understood the problems correctly.
I agree.
My point was that I see a future where (some sort of) baterry systems and solar/wind power will have its place.
We are nowhere close to that.
Fusion/fission has the same probability from my POV. Nice target, not something to push.
We’re closer to that because of the cult’s government subsidies and yet the tech has barely advanced at all. It’s still nowhere close to nuclear even without the 55 years of development we should have had.
If people accepted solar/wind as edge solutions to decentralise energy generation rather than demanding it become the backbone of modern energy infrastructure because it’s so “clean” to placate the cult, it might actually progress.
Fiat incentives give fiat outcomes though.

Nuclear is great when things are stable, it's a disaster waiting to happen in widespread unrest, war & natural disasters unless you use a very specific subset of it.
And you know damned well they won't build the versions they should build.
Humanity isnt aligned so I wouldn’t expect them to.
People accept the status quo of nation states with the George H Bush “new world order” as if that’s just the path we should be on, rather than the one we happen to be on because of US decisions decades ago which raped everything downstream.
If you’re long humanity you are long the idea that humanity can coalesce around certain primitives including not destroying itself.
Just because that’s not the current path doesnt mean that’s not where we ought go, nor that we can’t get there.
These parasites won’t top the tree forever. I don’t think they’ll top it much longer.
The bigger problem IMO is the lack of alternative visions to coalesce around.
Last 20 or so years gave me hope that there is an alternative.
And I agree that this system will fall apart rather soon. No more then 50 years is my guestimate.
Just don't know if it will be Mad Max or Cyberpunk.

History shows they'll clamour for the same old shit again once they fall... They'll do it every time with a short intermission between...

When you say the US it is a bit more complicated. every year the military would visit my elementary and high school science class extolling the virtues of nuclear energy.
No it really isn’t.
You know all that shit that’s coming out about USAID right now? That’s the same shit your regime used to fund the likes of Greenpeace who got nuclear power banned by legislation in Australia.
For 20+ years nuclear power has been made illegal here.
It wasn’t some grassroots movement that did that - it was your cunt regime that pushed it all.
We’re investing hundreds of millions in nuclear powered subs under AUKUS because the US wants Aus to project power into the South China Sea but we can’t have nuclear energy - despite our massive uranium deposits, amongst the biggest on earth - because your regime needs us under your thumb against China.
You may have had the virtues extolled to you - I had signs in my neighbourhood saying nuclear power is banned here in 2008.
Your country is behind so much shit that if you understood what you’re responsible for youd throw up.
It is all my daddy’s fault. 😢
