  • @indegruv i wasn't arguing against alternative energy sources. maybe i was?

  • @SotNist Yeah that's a real intelligent argument. nice defeatist attitude you got there, I'm sure you'll go far in life.

  • @indegruv i like windmills, solar energy & hydroelectricity... they're not gonna let us have anything for free for long. any uv ray or hot & cold molecule that enters into US airspace will be considered US property somehow and i'll have to pay royalties. watch.

  • @indegruv You seem a lot smarter, cause you think a nuclear reactor is a "big dumb water heater". I heard nuclear fission was super easy. Anyway, you think you can answer a question or are you pmsing too hard?

  • @SotNist Uhh, no it isn't. Got proof? Tesla Motors dot com bitch. Got a tax coming on that too, mfer? ;)

  • @scienceismyjesus shut the fuck up, idiot. I'm smarter than your stupid BULLSHIT. Keep defending your "big dumb water heater" you fucking moron!

    DUH!

    

  • Powder kegs throughout the US ready to blow. 

  • 66 of 104 America's Nuclear Reactors are dangerously old. David says, guuuuuullp, it's well taken care of. Sure it is David. Paul knows that the pipes are busted. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says they haven't cared about 'Neutron Exposure' in the past 40Years & they damn sure don't intend to start worrying about that crap now. Here's comes America's Nuclear Reactor Skeletons. America has 122 Nuclear Reactors at various stages of the Fukushima,Japan meltdown disaster. Where'd the money go?

  • @indegruv Cause the wind blows non-stop and the sun shines all 24 hours? Oh, and let's not forget wind turbines require no maintenance as well as solar panels never needing replacement.

  • @indegruv wind & sun tax coming soon
