They're a blight on the planet.

I could not be more opposed to these things, marching across the land like packs of invasive alien technology. 100% terrible

I'm not opposed to them per se.

I am bitterly opposed to the reductive, childish level of debate that occurs around the entire power generation thing.

Every form of power generation has downsides. Every form. If there was one with no downsides, we'd all be using it.

Groups like Greenpeace assiduously downplay their opposition to each and every form of power generation, trying to cover up their apparent preference for returning us to the middle ages with ill-informed talk of "efficiency gains" when the kinds of efficiencies they would require - given their opposition to large-scale power generation - would violate quite important laws of thermodynamics.

Some have worse downsides than others. Something like nuclear has a lot of advantages, but people are prejudiced against it. It's far better than this blight on every landscape, and coal which kills hundreds of people each year.

Yup. Just how ... unbalanced ... the public perception of nuclear is can be shown by the 2011 tsunami in Japan.

Almost 20,000 dead from the tsunami, and what leads in the papers? Two guys copped a dose from the Fukushima Daiichi reactor incident. You'd be hard-pressed from the coverage to realise a tsunami happened at all, such was the glee with which the press reported on the nuclear incident.

Every form of power generation has downsides. Every form.

Growth/loss as defined by flow upon form; hence life (form) moving from inception to death (flow) having the free will of choice to balance as form within flow, for either self sustenance (need aka growth) or ignorance (want aka loss).

Each of us represents ONE (form) potential of ALL (flow) potentiality.

childish level of debate that occurs around the entire power generation thing.

That's because those debates aka reason (conflict between believe in truth versus false) is what corrupts ONEs (form) comprehension of being within ALL (flow). The few use suggestions (-isms) to trick the many to consent to ignorance of flow by believing in affixed form (beliefs; brands; idols).

They're harvesting our ignored energy; because we choose to ignore to GEN'ERATE, verb transitive [Latin genero. See Gender.] - "to procreate" the offered potentiality of ALL; which in return corrupts ONEs comprehension (potential) of ALL perceived (potentiality).

I'm ONE within ALL; not the product of a twice divorced so called jewish criminal; pretending to be German; while propagating transhumanism onto mankind.

The blight on this plane are those who ignore to fertilize and sustain...that's what's preventing growth.

Shut the fuck up you actual moron. You're the worst kind of fake intellectual. You write a 10 page essay to say nothing at all.
