With yesterday's news regarding fusion, wind is really starting to look like so much hot air.

Did you hear that noise ? It sounded like a bomb went off. Breaking news ! A bomb did go off.

AOC's new movie / documentary, "To The End", came out just this last weekend. At 120 theaters. It only brought in $80.00.

Let's see, I can do easy math. $80.00 a theater, tickets at $10.00. That is eight people who gve a damn.

I guess you wasted $10.00.

Scientists and experts now need to figure out how to produce much more energy from nuclear fusion on a much larger scale.

At the same time, they need to figure out how to eventually reduce the cost of nuclear fusion so that it can be used commercially.

“At the moment we’re spending a huge amount of time and money for every experiment we do,” said Chittenden. “We need to bring the cost down by a huge factor.”

Scientists will also need harvest the energy produced by fusion and transfer it to the power grid as electricity. It will take years – and possibly decades – before fusion can be able to produce unlimited amounts of clean energy, and scientists are on a race against the clock to fight climate change.

“This will not contribute meaningfully to climate abatement in the next 20-30 years,” Friedmann said. “This the difference between lighting a match and building a gas turbine.”

You mean, kind of like wind and solar?

There's a wind energy jihad being planned in the Middle East.

Why did they change the colors?

It's hard to zero in on who "they" are, without more information about that weather map.

Improved readability for people with color blindness has been cited as a factor by the Met Office (United Kingdom's National Weather Service) and the BBC.

"British weather maps over the years have been adapted to be more accessible for viewers, particularly those who live with colour blindness, according to the UK’s national weather service, and broadcaster, who both spoke to Reuters. The comments came in response to widespread social media shares of a meme comparing two heatwave forecasts on two different years in the UK, suggesting it was proof of the national media stoking baseless fears of climate change."

That's the first paragraph from a recent report (8 minutes of reading) in Reuters. The report includes several Twitter messages with images of weather maps.

It's HD1 tv GERMANY. (ARD) public service broadcasting

Think of it as the German equivalent of PBS

Lots of CLIMATE CULTISTS there so anything goes.

Well, now that we have despoiled so many beautiful places on the Earth with wind farms and solar farms, let's go after the oceans and shorelines.

I certainly hope that someone perfects electrical generation from tidal action, it would be invisible, perpetual and not dependent on the weather.
