Electrical generation and Integrity

I wasn't aware that none of them worked, simply because I didn't look.
Merely trying to dream up a fit for solar or wind.
Some of these regions are their own worst enemy and defy humanitarianism.
Leaving the Chinese to build the generation capacity but only if there's something in it for them.

February will not be kind to solar or wind energy when we need to heat hospitals, care homes , schools and all public buildings desperately.
Just a reminder that without the petroleum industry, we are fubard in most western Canada for at least 4-5 months a year
Que nuclear if you actually want to have a functioning “green”society in a sub arctic environment

[furrowtickler]

The U.S. has been running nuclear technology in subs and their other naval fleet for decades with zero issues
it’s time to pull our heads out of the “green sand”
Ohhhh and we just happen to have one of the world’s biggest supply of uranium…….

Something has to pay for leftist socialism
The budget will never ever balance itself on part time unicorn farts

The ever-calculated Germans are going back to coal.

China is building dispachable energy plants like nuclear, coal, and gas all over the world.
They did the fabrication on the LNG plant at Kitimat.
They have the required factories and infrastructure working continuously and efficiently.
How long till we see them building reactors in North America?

for the past decade or longer
Chinas focus on high education is paying off while North American education has been highly focused on social justice issues .
The result of that is unfolding now

Not only that, but in North America, the best and brightest get recruited into the financial industry. Where the intent is to extract wealth from the productive industries
Whereas China explicitly discourages that, and ensures the best and brightest to get into productive industries.

There are definitely exceptions.
We have a close neighbor who has been off grid for at least 15 years now. They couldn't afford the half mile Plus of power line at the time.
Having spent many multiples of that, and still not having reliable energy and being unable to leave the systems unattended to get away from home, if they could afford it now, they would happily get on the grid.

I bet! Wow.

They're not in Africa
