The main reasons I switched in my political leanings from left to rather conservative: I saw how in the U.S. the Bernie Sanders Left enabled Trump; and I saw how in Germany the Left abolished #nuclear energy while complaining about climate change. Plus a bit of thinking about infrastructure's tenacity towards change and the increasing conviction that most "world changing" or "world saving", if it is to be more than chatter, is the change of #infrastructure. And as the #history of infrastructures tells us: the outlook is bleak.The last aspect: That the Left's (and Green's etc.) critique of capitalism and modern societies, if it is to make sense at all, presupposes the very full-fledged functioning of this extractivist, oppressive, and exploitative system it is out to abolish. In fact, this system is the lesser evil. Strange journey that brought me to this point. But the interesting question is: What's the next stop?

- Kill cars for climate!
Whatever "the" "Right" means. But anyway, it's easy to have left- or green-ecological political inclinations. One is never forced to prove that one can actually do things differently. Which "the" "Left" can't as can be seen all over the Global South as well as historically in various parts of Europe.

What is needed is a progressive Social Democratic Party like that of Brandt and Schmidt, a party that opened universities for working class people, that built #nuclear power plants... It was Helmut Schmidt who insisted in 1977 to build NPP *because of* the already running climate change. (Same did Franz Josef Strauss in 1982 btw.) He was fought (and was later ousted) by the Erhard Eppler wing of the SPD, by the "Peace" movement, by the No Nukes-movement, by the Greens, by the #counterculture.

And more: The International Hedonist Left, the Hippies, and their consumerist hedonism since the early 1960s cost the International Union Movement at least two generations of active members, thus weakening the unions in their struggles and helped accelerate turbo capitalism and Neo Liberalism. And today? "The "Left" (or Greens or climate doomers and all the other self-righteous acitivists) insist on the comfort and consumerism made possible by the system they pretend to critique. They are the new bourgeois who think they can run modern societies with morals and renwables. And show off with their morality by blaming "the" "Right".

It pays to have all these "left" positions. The moral highground is theirs, the lack of accountabiliy is theirs, the benefit of never having to come up with working plans is theirs... I can hardly imagine a more reactionary and self-congratulating people than those who call themselves left, green, or ecological.

Just saying, no personal insult intended.

@CelloMomOnCars One can only laugh at this point when reading passages like these:
"The government wants to have 215 GW of solar installed in Germany by 2030, more than tripling existing capacity in seven years."
https://apnews.com/article/germany-solar-power-renewable-energy-habeck-nepotism-ec42cc9bb078abd4c05c671bfe013c6d
Why laugh? Because 215 GW of #solar with 10% capacity factor (because it's Germany, not California) will roughly replace 20GW of #nuclear power that they retired since 2011. So many years lost...

GT exclusive: Detailed evidence exposes #Japan’s lies, loopholes in #nuclear-contaminated #wastewater dumping plan
Recipe for disaster
By Huang Lanlan
Published: Jun 05, 2023
"Irresponsible, untrustworthy TEPCO
"Established in 1951, TEPCO accounts for one-third of Japan's electricity generation, with its grid covering Tokyo and eight neighboring prefectures. This industry giant is however infamous for its spotty history. Over the last few decades, issues of misconduct at TEPCO have been exposed by the media including the falsification of safety inspection records of nuclear power plants, and concealing nuclear power plant accidents.
In the data monitoring and treatment of the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water, TEPCO has been widely criticized for the neglect of duty, concealing important information and shirking responsibility.
After the ALPS filter damage incident in 2021, TEPCO representatives admitted that the company had neglected to investigate the cause of the filter failures. TEPCO said it had discovered similar damages on filters two years ago, but it had neither investigated the cause of the problem nor taken any preventive measures other than simply replacing the filters.
"A member of the Japanese Nuclear Regulation Authority once stated that there were serious problems within TEPCO's management. In addition to the filter damage, TEPCO's attitude is what has fundamentally led to numerous problems. TEPCO should have responded quicker to this accident to minimize the risk of radioactive materials leaking into the environment.
"'The series of falsification issues that have occurred in TEPCO indicate that the company does not attach enough importance to safety, and the data it provides is not trustworthy,' the insider told the Global Times.
"The insider added that there are still many unresolved issues in the decision of discharging Fukushima nuclear-contaminated wastewater into the sea considering TEPCO's attitude and other factors. In order to ensure that the discharge is reasonable and feasible, and that the impact on the marine ecological environment and human health can be minimized, he urged the Japanese government and TEPCO to carry out the following works..."

- Walkaway Friendly Localist 🌿
Talking about "reducing the demand for FF" is ridiculous in at least four ways:

a) It prevents states in Africa to jumpstart their economies to benefit their citizens with cheap energy systems (resources and power plants), and, via surplus value, become capable in the first place to invest in environmental protection. (Not to forget the #ecocolonialism involved in the vast green land grap in Africa.)

b) It ignores the life cycle of #energy systems because even after a new source of energy has been found and disseminated, the older energy sources keep delivering and *increase* their output. It takes roughly 60 years for a new energy source to substitute and leave behind an older one.

c) It ignores how much FF are involved in the production, the spread, and the integration of "renewable" energy systems in a given #infrastructure: From mining and processing of materials, to production and spreading of units, to the hitherto unsolved problems of recycling of these new systems (and thus "loss" of the engery invested in their production).

d) Even in the sub-sector of electricity production, relying on #renewables means relying on fossil fuels (esp. when #nuclear power is abandoned). As demand increases, #peakrenewables is already in play, only sugarcoated by high subsidies. (Germany alone will have 14,000 wind turbine units of its 30,000 onshore units decommissoned after 2026. Germany will be lucky to keep the current electricity output of the wind turbine units; it rather becomes increasingly harder and less likely that more output will be generated in the future -- at least within a market economy.)

The chatter about "reducing the demand" is the result of an individualist consumer approach, which suggests to cut back on holiday flights etc. With regard to infrastructures of whole societies, that is a mistaken approach.

Today I learned that industrialization[1] is going to run out of uranium before 2100. There goes the idea that #nuclear is a solution to the climate disaster. #ClimateDiary
[1] I decided to use the word "industrialization" where I previously would have written "the world" because I'm trying to stop thinking of the exponential process that is causing overshoot as being the same thing as reality.
[2] commenters have pointed out that breeder reactors are 60x more efficient, but I explain below that still doesn't seem sufficient.

« Changing the target to “100% fossil-free” electricity, from “100% renewable” is key to the government’s plan to meet an expected doubling of electricity demand to around 300 TwH by 2040 and reach net zero emissions by 2045.

“This creates the conditions for nuclear power,” Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said in parliament. “We need more electricity production, we need clean electricity and we need a stable energy system.” »
