and boring, hippie loser Peter Garrett has come out of whatever delusional zone he was lurking in to screech within the pages of the demented Age about Australia’s Opposition leader, Peter Dutton’s proposal for Nuclear Power. Notwithstanding that there is no such thing as man made climate change, which makes the entire idiotic premise moot, Garrett has hoisted himself on a self righteous foldback wedge in order to save everyone from the dire prospects of nothing. It wouldn’t be a proper lecture from any of these comedians without referencing the so called “fossil fuels”, which are the number one enemy of the climate alarmist cult.
Somebody show this to Garrett
“Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s promise to build seven small-scale nuclear reactors, ostensibly to help meet future energy needs while keeping carbon emissions at bay, therefore needs to be seen for what it really is: a staggeringly bad idea, a stunt and a con. It is a backdoor attempt to pander to the fossil-fuel lobby – and under the electoral spotlight, more people will figure that out.”
Pete with rabid anti Trumper Kevin Rudd who is astonishingly, still Australia’s ambassador to the US.
Garrett doesn’t exactly spell out how the pandering works other than to suggest that the “aging coal plants” will have to be kept online longer while the nuke plants are built. Some kind soul should tell this idiot that the “aging coal plants” are also going to be kept online while the Unicorn renewable utopia of free energy is being built.
“the carbon consequences of prolonging our old coal-fired power generators are dire.” Carbon carbon carbon..For fuck’s sake, stop already.
Garret – I hate carbon so much it’s unreal
“This deceptive proposal has all the Trumpian hallmarks: a quasi policy announcement intended to serve sectional interests – in this case, fossil-fuel conglomerates – while simultaneously serving up a cartoon enemy as ideological whipping boy, namely renewable energy.”
Let’s attack Trump while we’re at it, it’s a sure fire way to get support, since everyone down there has been schooled in how evil he is. Cartoon enemy? That’s what you’ve turned Trump into!
Loser Hillary who could be describing herself, also gets to moan about Trump at The Age
“Dutton’s plan would leave old, dirty, coal-fired power stations staggering on at increasing risk of breakdown, putting off the day of reckoning when we finally stop polluting and heating our world and get on with using affordable, reliable energy that does not cause more climate chaos.”
Nobody wants any “old and dirty” anything, do they? Nor do they want “climate chaos” What in the name of god is “climate chaos” anyway? It’s nonsense. It’s an insult to a person’s intelligence. It’s lazy hyperbole, and it’s fucking meaningless. How about fixing the fucking aging coal plants? You’re gonna need them. Such a dull and stupid narrative.
“You dirty old man” Alfred Steptoe, the human embodiment of an aging coal fired power plant.
“The trend line is unarguable: renewable energy is cleaner, greener and getting cheaper every year. It will supersede fossil fuels in the blink of an evolutionary eye. Nuclear is a last-gasp delaying tactic.” This is the old Bernie Sanders argument, “the science is settled”. “in the blink of an evolutionary eye?” That’s funny because the earth produces these fuels for free that have built modern civilization, so why don’t we ditch all that and pretend that our idiotic windmills and endless eyesore solar panels are going to magically replace them and actually work better?
“It is best understood as a delaying tactic, an Aussie version of US President Donald Trump’s “drill baby drill”, buying more time for multinational carbon producers to keep making super profits and heating the planet at our expense.”
The Rock and Roll Thought Police – Midnight Oil
The planet isn’t getting “heated”, dummy. Every single fucking prediction about global warming in the last 20 years hasn’t come to pass. If anything it appears to be cooling, but whatever is going on, humans have very little if at all, anything to do with it.
“As for polls showing younger Australians are less concerned about nuclear energy … not so fast. I’m confident that equipped with relevant facts, and mindful of the scale of the climate crisis they have inherited, they’ll see Dutton’s nuclear con job in a whole new light by the time we get to polling day.”
Noooo… windmills are good!
If Garrett had some actual “relevant facts” and wasn’t pushing this foolish climate change hysteria like some kind of latter day Don Quixote, he might have a point, but he doesn’t. It’s the same old hippie crap, “save the bees, save the trees, save the whales, save those snails…..” There is no “climate crisis”. It’s a manufactured hoax and scam. The real crisis is the mass mental disorders and cognitive dissonance that this kind of horrible rubbish is creating in people. By the way, I’m no fan of Dutton either, he’s equally as dumb as Garrett. There’s got to be a better way.
Breaking news. “French nationalist leader Marine Le Pen has been found “guilty” of misusing European Union (EU) funds and has been sentenced to a five-year ban from politics and a four-year prison sentence, half of which is suspended. Marine Le Pen, the long-standing leader of France’s National Rally party who is leading opinion polls for the presidency, has been prohibited from participating in any elections for the next five years following a court ruling.”
How convenient. This is what they tried to do to Trump unsuccessfully. “Judge Bénédicte de Perthuis, who headed the proceedings, deemed the actions a “serious and lasting attack on the rules of democratic life” within both Europe and France.” Oh I see, a “threat to Democracy”. I think we’ve heard that before..
