Yeah, I watched the whole thing and heard him say it was a giant scam. And I remember The China Syndrome with Michael Douglas, Jane Fonda, and Jack Lemmon that he says was nonsense. So those with the big bucks it takes to build reactors want to keep the money to themselves and scare everyone else away. Clever of them.

I've seen enough new and old Hollywood to know for certain that a lot of it is propaganda.

On some levels all wars, including the Cold War, are very real. But on others they are entire fabrications.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was not as crazy as he sounds.

It's in "their" interests to keep us dependent on their energy. They want us all to have individual cars rather than having better frequent public transit (including personal cabins, cargo capacity, etc) and more loaner/rentals. Conversely they don't want everyone to have personal power, whether it's in a mini-fridge-sized to car-sized generator that could placed along every river bank, or even on piles in the middle of the river. They want us to believe it needs to be a giant thing like Niagra Falls or the Hoover Dam. That may be true if you're doing a bunch of cities all in one place - to control ALL the power.

It's that same concentrated power, in steam, that created the Chernobyl explosion. Thunderf00t explains it best: /s/Energy/comments/qpa/hbos_chernobyl_busted_thunderf00t/

Thanks.

But on others they (wars) are entire fabrications.

I can't source the following exactly but it was from Harpers Magazine years ago. The article said that for years the Minuteman missile silos contained "missiles" that in fact could not function. Just one example of how: Everything We Know is Wrong. I didn't see Thunderf00t's explanation so will read it now. You might like the post I just submitted to /s/alternativehistory if you've never seen Sylvie Ivanova's NewEarth series but I'll bet you have. It is yet another example of how much we do not know.

I'll check out the /s/AlternativeHistory/comments/qux/newearth_sylvie_ivanova_of_megalithscom/

Thunderf00t also debunks the Hyperloop, something I've modified for my /s/BittersweetSeeds space bridge - in Act 3.
