The sad thing is that activists from the 60s and 70s crippled the nuclear energy industry, which is the only real way to stop climate change. We would probably be dominating this industry by now and have a fraction of the CO2 outputs.

If an 'environmental activist' isn't supporting nuclear energy, I can't take them seriously and it's most likely just a political group and has nothing to do with actually saving the planet.

People are scare of nuclear energy. Just look at Fukushima and Cernobil. People shouldn't ignore that. It is easy to talk how great and clean nuclear energy is. Yes, it is. And then something happen next to your home. I wish that nothing like Fukushima and Cernobil every happen. It was really bad PR for nuclear energy. We need more secure nuclear energy. I do hope that SMR(small modular reactor) don't make any ecological catastrophe.

As opposed to us moving as fast as we can to control the future?

If they really can outpace us, good luck to 'em. We Americans pride ourselves on our magnanimity in dispensing tech goodies to the world. Maybe we can get the benefit of somebody else's work for a while. And maybe it'll even take a little heat off of us, which we attract because of the way we've controlled the world.

That's... a very unflattering picture of Trump, and very photogenic picture of Xi. From an Australian paper. What a time to be a live.

I'd suggest that oligarch-owned US media often uses the most flattering image of Trump, rather than this being an unflattering choice. He is The President, and we've come to respect presidents no matter what.

Pattern to watch for: Accounts posting pro-China stories which haven't made any other submissions since 2022 and now all of the sudden are posting again. I've seen 7 or 8 pro-China posts with accounts following this exact pattern in the last week.
