i've been to lima and it's a pretty chill place. what's great is the fact that the embassy area where every other participating country has a representative building, the U.S. does not. they built their own fortified valley in which to conduct business.

my friend is at this thing i think. i can ask him what he thinks about it when hes back, i think hes pretty resigned to the fact that our current institutions can't/wont do anything about climate change, but idk if he knows about the science of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse Tung Thought yet.

when are they going to shut up and start building more nuclear reactors



when nuclear reactors become a more efficient way of monetizing the destruction of earth than fracking is

actually the reason we can't build nuclear reactors is hippies. hippies are scared of atoms and they have corrupted the market with emotions and regulations

what's even funnier is that canada and the us are sitting on enough thorium to meet global power needs for something like thousands of years but it basically gets tossed aside as dross in rare earth mining, or apparently sold to china at a pittance
