  • The Orange R by John Clagett written back in 1978 was describing this feedback loop in its story.

    In the story Nuclear radiation was poisoning the air and scrubbers all over the country were cleaning up the radiation but were using nuclear power to power them creating a huge feedback loop where more radiation was leaking and needing more scrubbers to clean it.

    I won’t give away what they thought about solar power, but it’s awfully close to the same messages that certain orange people say about wind and solar power to this day.

    ETA: it’s amazing that back in the '70s they thought our future would be nuclear pollution from power plants while they had polluting coal plants and now 50 plus years later we still have polluting coal plants.






  • If they wasted everyone’s time then they would be just as bad as the fascists.

    When Obama had a supermajority, the other spray tanned asshole John Boner(Baener) and McConnell worked together to make Obama look a fool and he ended up caving on a public option and failed until they lost their majority.

    They spent years trying unsuccessfully to throw out the Affordable Care act more than 40 times, the Dems just want to fail because any success for the little people would mean less profits for their donor overlords.
