Hot world Tom Smith

Global warming is heating up.  I’m convinced.  Ron Bailey now thinks the globe is warming.  San Diego had the third hottest summer on record this year.  The second or so was in the 1980’s, but still.  I don’t like hot weather.  Cool and sunny is the thing.  It’s one thing to threaten the fate of life on earth, it’s another to make me uncomfortable.  This has got to stop.

The answer is not for everybody to start using wind power or hamster generators.  Nor do I think American economic hari-kiri is the answer.  The answer is, yes, you guessed it, hundreds of state of the art nuclear power plants.  Hydrogen is dumb.  Ethanol is just a big conspiracy backed by ADM and subsidy drunk farmers.  But with nuclear power we could charge up batteries and keep the planet habitable for the next few thousand years.  Is it safe?  Don’t ask me, but I bet it is, given that even realiably left, eco-sensitive journals such as Scientific American are now running articles with titles like New Nuclear Power Technology:  Really Safe or Really, Really Safe?  Nobody ever changes their minds, so all the old green hippie types will just have to die off before this can really move forward, but that is going to happen in the next 20 years or so.  Don’t throw those sweaters out.
