That *is* my conclusion, data centers and SMRs can be a net good if they are used to power industry, creating wealth and prosperity for the population. That's not how Bezos, Gates or Buffett operate though. They use their philanthropies to shut down civilian nuclear energy (via enviro-activists). Regular people and businesses are left with high energy bills and the data centers are predominantly used by the military (war) or to monitor and control the citizenry via surveillance, data collecting, "smart grids" etc. That's not a net benefit to society, that's a net benefit to a tyrannical minority.

has a single person in the history of humankind ever once associated the love of nature with the right? Is that something that has ever happened literally once at all?

1/ During the Cold War, American defense planners treated uncertainty as a reason to expand capabilities, not constrain them. Even those arguing for restraint debated how much excess was prudent – not whether excess was necessary. We should think about energy the same way today.

Everything is chemicals. Everything in nature is made up of chemicals. When people say chemicals are bad, the implication is that “man-made” chemicals are bad. Therefore, fear mongering about chemicals is not only anti-scientific, but deeply misanthropic.

We need some kind of psychoanalysis of the climate discourse. No one has ever run on “romantic environmentalism”!! This horrifying “other” is just a weird unconscious projection of a fantasy. Go back to Al Gore! Politicians always argue that climate policy is good economics.

I wrote about the debate over whether Democrats should talk about “climate,” which is kind of a nonsensical question, and how it’s sort of like a debate over whether to talk about capitalism

The drive to hit green targets was prioritised over patient safety when the beleaguered Queen Elizabeth University Hospital was built in Glasgow. Experts have warned the air cooling system installed in most patient rooms was good at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but did not meet healthcare standards for circulating air. Net Zero is being put above people’s health.

In a 2013 debate about nuclear energy, RFK Jr said that he was involved with the Mojave Desert solar plant:

California's $2.2 billion solar plant is shutting down. Once hailed as a breakthrough, the Ivanpah Solar Facility in the Mojave Desert is now a case study in failed technology and environmental risk. Built with $1.6 billion in federal loans in 2014, the plant was hailed as a symbol of America's clean energy future. It used 173,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto three massive towers heating fluid to drive steam turbines. Complicated. Expensive. And it never delivered on its promise. After just 11 years, the technology is now obsolete. On top of that, the facility became notorious for its environmental toll, with estimates of at least 6,000 birds incinerated each year by the concentrated beams. The promise was affordable, reliable, green power. The reality was high costs, technical failures and ecological damage.

Africa’s Oil-Producing Nations Insist On Fossil Fuels On April 28, 2026, 57 nations convened in Santa Marta, Colombia, at the inaugural First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, to discuss plans for phasing out their use of fossil fuels. African oil producers Ghana, Tanzania, Angola, Malawi, Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal, Uganda and Nigeria were in attendance at this event, and as it drew to a conclusion, maintained their stance on continuing to harness their cheap energy reserves for the betterment of their economies and people. As the world’s second most populated continent and its wealthiest in terms of natural resources, Africa, in its entirety, contributes roughly 4% of the world’s total CO2 emissions, yet is constantly being lectured by the Western nations, who together account for at least 21% of the world’s total emissions – more than 5x the contribution of the entire African continent! – to quickly transition from its cheap energy reserves to “green alternatives” which no modern civilization on Earth has ever built its economy on. And all the while, these same Western nations continue to plunder Africa’s cheap energy reserves for themselves. At a time when many nations across the world are finally waking up from the fever dream of Western-dominated “globalization” and putting their national interests first, it is folly for the nations of the wealthiest continent on Earth to do anything less.
