THE DEATH OF THE HUMAN RACE

IMHO, the human race is WAY more likely to die from a global pandemic, than from climate change. Humans are dumping raw sewage into every waterway on earth. The resulting mess will kill our rivers, our lakes, our oceans, and us.

Humans have been dealing with climate change since humans first walked out of Africa.

But the increasing amounts of festering sewage can be a huge test tube making nasty germs. Plus, I kind of like eating fish. Some fish die in the equivalent of raw sewage.

In order to have running water and flush toilets, you have to have RELIABLE POWER. Right now, the only way to get reliable power is from fossil fuels and nuclear power. (I am constantly angry at the wind power fanatics who do not care how many birds they kill.)

You all seem to think that electricity is magic, and that poor people exist for you to experiment with alternatives forms of energy.

Keeping our poor living in and on garbage, makes friends of the poor very angry. Generally, the poor are too downtrodden to protest their appalling living conditions.

But people who CARE, who should have been social workers or lawyers, get angry about how their country is making no progress towards getting clean drinking water and flush toilets. Sometimes this anger comes out in the form of killing the nearest soft target.

Each situation is different. Sometimes it is better to burn coal (which burns dirty) than to burn dung (which makes WAY more nasty smoke than coal). Sometimes nuclear power is the answer as long as you are not so stupid as to store the used fuel ON SITE.

Look at the US power grid. Look at the European power grid. Figure out what fuel is best for the environment under the ACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. Then design and build the POWER GRID.

THE LIVES YOU SAVE COULD BE YOUR GRANDCHILDREN!
