They will most likely get three direct elected, so their seats are pretty sturdy.

Yeah, but enough to make a difference

Some of them might have wanted to vote but their votes were suppressed

He read body language, it didn’t work if the one asking didn’t know the answer

Voter suppression could be responsible for Trump’s victory

Die Linken sind durch ihre Anfragen ein unglaublich wichtiger und produktiver Teil der Opposition. Als grüner finde ich es auch sehr wichtig dass jemand von weiter links Druck machen kann.

Einfach mal vor Ort vorbeischauen wie so die Ortsgruppe drauf ist, da wird man meistens mit offenen Armen empfangen und kann sich direkt ein Bild machen. Und weiß dann auch mit wem man sich auseinander setzen muss um eigene Punkte einzubringen ;)

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won. Here are the numbers…

I am waiting for some bigger outlet to pick up and check the numbers behind this claim, but with the history of messing with voters in the US I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out true…

I doubt you were up to the kind of shit JFK was up to unless you spend your youth on a carcass pit feeding your pet hawk and had your own gang. Behind the Bastards had an episode on RFK Jr and it’s wild.

Yeah, you’re lazy and wrong,

Not using facts,

True

but using logic:

You mean pulling stuff out of your ass?

not just birds being killed or their migrations affected by disorientation,

Not true

but also seeds carried by wind

Wtf?

that a Chernobyl or two every decade is better

Wtf???

Start bringing some sources

Hydroelectric energy is worse than burning coal. It’s not being strict, it’s being adequate

[Citation required]

Housecats are a catastrophe, cars - not so much, agriculture - modern agriculture can have little impact for very good output.

All are way bigger than windturbines. And the biggest is habit loss, which is mainly driven by agriculture.

Yeah, not gonna write a big reply to this.

If your that strict, nothing is green. Its about minimizing the impact. And you forgot to mention the mining of uranium.

Wind energy impacts birds.

Please compare the impact to housecats, cars and agriculture.

Yeah, you were rightfully downvoted. You came in here, posted a video with a provocative question and expected other people to spend their time on it. Thats pretty entitled. Also you were combative all around, so most peoples initial opinion was negative. Your try for more appeal to the video just fell flat. If you want to spread this, include a tldr and don’t use phrases like blue q anon or whatever it was

But you always have a combination of several renewable sources which can power these countries.

this is not uncontested, plenty of people disagree

Yeah, i know. Time will tell.

we have been saying this for decades and I guarantee you we will still be saying in in another decade. Also, renewables aren’t fast to connect to the grid either. The more we spin up the bigger the backlog will be connecting new installations to the grid.

Sorry but that is just not true. The growth of solar has almost been logarithmic and the installed capacity was almost non-existent two decades ago. That just doesn’t compare to the snails pace of nuclear.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_photovoltaics

Also, it’s not about people, but money. Every euro spent on some tech bro nuclear startup could be used to install real capacity instead.

longer power lines means more efficiency losses, and the more you plan to roll out renewables to 100% the more inefficiencies there will be. as previously stated, connecting large brand new renewable installations to the grid is expensive and also takes a long time.

Yeah, theoretically true, but what distances are we talking about? To get electricity from the suburbs in the city center should be trivial. It gets more difficult if we have to cross countries, but high voltage DC solves that issue pretty well. We could power europe from solar installed in the Sahara ^^

And it became really relevant only recently with the takeover of the us by trump, the couchfucker, musk and peter thiel. Before that it was mainly just wet libertarian dreams.

Don’t forget hydro, look at Norway, it’s pretty far away from the equator but has almost 100% renewables. Island as well. There are suboptimal locations, but in the end there is no country which can’t use renewables for all electricity needs.

Supplying the current global electricity consumption with solar PV would imply covering 0.3% of the land area of the world (source)

All rooftops should be enough but parking lots and agrarsolar would be also solutions. So even if we only use solar (which we don’t ) it should be possible.

Renewables create a base load, the problem are demand peaks following overcast days. And there npps don’t help.

so would nuclear if we actually did it and improved regulatory inefficiencies

Maybe, but not fast enough. We need the power immediately and battery are already in the steep part of their growth phase. We can’t spend several decades learning how to do it right. Then we could also just wait for fusion.

land use isn’t an issue in rural places, but it absolutely is in more densely populated places near cities and datacenter hubs. The world is not homogenous.

Then we use power lines like we do already. Most power plants right now are also not in cities, so I don’t understand the argument. Would you also want to build the npps in/near cities?

But the technology requires this amount of bureaucracy, else you get big problems. I trust physics, but i don’t trust humans. Especially if they can get money by skimping on security. The risks with renawables (except dams) are way smaller.

Where do renewables not work? I’d say they work at even more places, because you don’t need such a developed infrastructure to set it up. Everyone can wire up a small solar farm after a few hours of YouTube, i wouldn’t trust myself with reactor maintenance.

Nuclear also needs storage for peaks. You don’t want to have to build enough nuclear for peak production which then gets shut down all the time, driving up your LCOE. You want your expensive plant to run all the time. Also you need storage if you have an unplanned maintenance, because then you lose a relevant percentage of production with little to no warning.

And storage is getting cheaper and better every year. The bigger issue would be a grid that can shovel power from one end of a continent to the other in case of adverse weather.

We need less space for solar to power the world than we use for golf courses right now, so I’d say landuse is a non issue. Because you can use roofs and such even less.
