Building the House of Cards Higher

The party line about humanity's future is: "our civilization is too energy intensive" so we need to replace our entire technology base with something new. It's absurd.

People like Bill Gates push the "nuclear power is green" idea, which is retarded. Nuclear power sucks, mainly because the spent fuel is dangerous and there's no economical way to store it forever. It's pure insanity, actually, that any nuclear power plants are operating today without a solution to that problem. It's quite possible there's no viable or economical solution to that issue.

Humanity should be moving full speed down the staircase of the house of cards. It's very obvious to me. Instead, people like Gates push for new technologies all the time. A new gee whiz thing is going to save everyone at the 11th hour in spite of the long track record of total failure to do so. I doubt it.
