Civics 101 Guidelines

Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

    You are welcome to not continue, but you were the one bringing up energy needs. Energy needs will not get lower, they will increase as we get more people, and bring more and more nations into the modern world which runs off of energy. Nuclear or Fusion is really the only viable 'green' energy source we can rely on for that. At least as compared to solar and wind power and other renewable sources. They are just too inefficient to keep up with energy demands. Especially solar. Putting solar farms on land that could be used better as farm land or other uses is not very efficient or wise, for example. Solar is best used as a supplemental power source to ease the burden of other power generating sources. Not as a replacement.

      Don't need to be one.

      But I guess that means we won't have to listen to you pontificate on anything you are not an expert on from now on will we? Wouldn't want you to be hypocritical, now would we?

            You haven't figured yourself out yet.
            YOu believe that all you believe in is wonderful, and all upholders of your politico-religious views are obviously intelligent and educated, but all who disagree with you can be dumb or even wicked or doomed to your hell.

            Sad.

              The topic is highly complex and neither of us is re competent to make pronouncements on the the technicalities of these reactors. So please stop posturing and affecting some detailed understanding.

                    You don't need to be a nuclear physicist to understand the basic principals of how nuclear power plants work. Whenever you are out of your depth you toss out the "the topic is complex" and run away.

                    Poor wittle HA. I guess understanding the basics of how nuclear power works is just too much for your wittle female mind? Is that it?

                    Next time you pontificate on a subject you are not an expert on I will be sure to remind you of this conversation.

                      If we all take that option the Civics board will be much quieter!

                      As an ETA I will add that your original comment:

                      Once we harness fusion power


                      as a commercially viable energy source is still very premature.

                        How do you know? Are you a nuclear physicist? It's a very complex topic. Perhaps you should not comment on things you do not have expertise in. Like any sort of energy production, or climate change. You are not a climatologist are you? Climate is a very complex topic. Or on legal cases like in the OP. You are not a lawyer either. Law is a complex topic. Perhaps you should stay in your lane and only talk about things you are an expert on, like your "various cats."
