Why ignore that there is only one source of energy, it is pushed to us for free, it was used by nature to create everything we know?

Why ignore that every other method of energy harvesting is by extraction, which always requires labor, to destroy things originally created by nature using the energy of the sun?

Why ignore that financial debt, all financial debt, all promises to pay are promises to extract?

Why ignore that it takes millions of years for nature to create oil, yet only minutes for us to create hydrogen, directly from sunlight, which we can consume with a negative carbon footprint?

Why ignore that highly valuable product in our economy?

Why is money not issued on it?

Why ignore that nuclear has taken many lives in its history so far?

Is the energy yielded, and sold, from any nuclear installation over its lifetime worth all of those lives?

A further component of the nuclear value chain is weapons. Of course the nuclear industry tries to deny that link also, but it is undeniable.

Why bother with nuclear, when everything can be solar powered, with hydrogen fuel from solar backing all things up, and transporting energy to all things needing it?

Why does Elon really dismiss fuel cells as "Stupid", when he knows that the batteries in his cars replaced by reversible fuel cells would make them hydrogen-electric dual fuelled?

Those are just a few of the questions thinking folk should be asking, it seems to me.

I will tell you why, because all are driven to make profit, rather than actually try to fix existential problems.

Money-issuers, issuing free money on solar product will end all power of capital, giving any thinking person a chance of competing with folk like Elon.

The dark side is the side of those seeking to retain the power of being able to exert scarcity, to get what they want,

who's side you are on, when you believe only what you want to believe about nuclear, not the whole story?
