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.
