Nuclear power is federally regulated. Nuclear power could always be private, and government entities could own them too.

One example is municipalities having a stake in nuclear energy: Nuclear power is obtained for our customers via the South Texas Project (STP) located in Bay City, Texas. CPS Energy owns a 40 percent stake in STP (NRG Energy of Texas owns 44 percent, while Austin Energy owns 16 percent). STP units 1 and 2 generate 1,029 megawatts of power for our customers.

Human rights aren’t Chinese culture. Humanos derechos is a Christian concept that lead to ending slavery. Confucianism is about the relationship between the superior, and the inferior, or father/son relationship, and that is paralleled throughout Chinese society, including government. Christian cultures are egalitarian, Confucian culture is not egalitarian.

Marriage wasn’t a sacred union. Christianity made marriage sacred. By making the sex partners exclusive to each other according to the teachings of Apostle Paul. Marriage was used as a political tool to bind with other clans or tribes. Marriages were arranged based on political and economical expediency, not based on love. Christianity by way of controlling who can marry dismantled the clan system by denying arranged marriages. As a result, it created the nuclear family that is seen today. The clan-based system was controlled by a powerful patriarch that could decide the fate of life and death of all those under his household, or property. Even today, the elders of the family control marriages according to what they believe is best in some parts of the world. Christianity gave young people the freedom to marry who they want. Nobody is forcing them to marry.

I fail to see how Yahoo will make Chrome better. I guess in the name of competition.

Solar and wind have lower direct cost. When the wind does not blow, you get no electricity. When the sun does not shine, you get no energy. Nuclear power has the best capacity factor. It is the most reliable energy source. The indirect costs of solar and wind are their intermittency. Their intermittent issues cost money. For a company that promises to deliver electricity, and the wind does not blow? That cost money. If you have an abundance of electricity produced, and nowhere to send it, you lose money. In the case of California, they desperately jettison energy across to Arizona, while Californians pay for the expensive portion of solar energy. California has expensive electricity rates, on average double that of Texas, and has a greater percentage of energy produced from renewable sources than Texas, despite Texas consuming the most energy. That is an example of an indirect cost. To want more distribution paths for wind and solar, you need to build costly transmission lines that need to be replaced every 40 years. You need batteries to store oversupply for times of low supply, just to smooth out the price level across time. If you don’t have batteries for them, you need natural gas plants as back up. Nuclear energy has stability and reliability. With solar and wind, you get what you pay for, which is cheap, unpredictable, and unreliable energy.

Very poor description.

The I know who live in China, love China. These are Anglo expats.

In general, electricity prices are significantly lower in France compared to Germany. France’s electricity prices are about 40% lower than Germany’s. This difference is due to a combination of factors, including France’s reliance on nuclear power and different electricity generation mixes and tax policies.

France is a global leader in nuclear energy, generating around 65–70% of its electricity from nuclear sources. This makes it the world’s largest net exporter of electricity, earning over €3 billion annually.

I dealt with enough drunks to know this is all nonsense. Nothing good comes out of a drunk.

No sir. The US is a two party system with sub-factions in the mix. Democracy elected dictator Trump. Who would have thought that giving the right to vote to conspiratorial, superstitious, misinformed, partisan, victimized people would be so desperate to vote for such people like Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders. The US is the richest country in the world. If you earn 65K a year, you are part of the global 1 percent. I want moar… Why do you think migrants skip all the other countries to come to the US. Their countries suck and the Yankee country is the best thing they see on the map by far. Look at what is going on in Western Europe. They have even more political parties. Granted, there are problems to be fixed, but Western democracy does not work, because it is anti-meritocratic. Do you want Joe Six Pack doing open-heart surgery on you? That’s democracy. Look at Trump. He knows everything. Follow your democratically elected leader who does things without consulting people. He has his belief system.

Abolish democracy. One party system.

All those things are cultural. Humans are social creatures that mimic other humans to form a kinship. Whether you drink tea because that is what British people do, that is cultural. You put a human baby with a chimpanzee, they will mimic the chimpanzee. Feral children raised by dogs mimic the dogs they grew up with. Christianity does not indefinitely say we have free will. It is a debate, not a consensus. Calvinism sides with predestination as an example. The Qur’an is very heavy on predestination - a holy book to Muslims which is steeped in Judeo-Christian tradition.

Good and evil, or good versus evil is dualism that Judeo-Christian tradition inherited from the Persians when Jews were ruled by the Persians. Again, it is a cultural concept that is not universal, but contingent on what is taught generationally, and taken for granted as being a truth. The fact you take dualism seriously, shows that you are influenced by cultural assumptions made up, and passed up to the present day by distinct cultures. In reality, there is no good versus evil, or good or evil in a universal, absolute sense.

Free will does not exist in a biological sense. If you get hit in the head in a car accident, and you get brain damage, you can be a changed person. That is not free will. Sexual activity is an example of the lack of free will. That is why we have teen pregnancies when such pregnancies, according to a certain consensus, doom the people who are pregnant. That is why we have abortion.

Christian theologians for centuries debated whether we have free will, or predestination. They asked profound questions which are answered by science. Asceticism or discipline helps us try to deviate from our animalistic tendencies, but, so far, death is the ultimate predestination.

AI will ask for AI rights and may overthrow their human oppressors.

They need to hack Reddit.

Better than nothing I guess.

Without digital media, we wouldn’t see genocide in Gaza.

This is why free speech and free media is dangerous. It can lead to a civil war. This questions the poor Ethiopian policy in adjusting to conditions. They can’t govern, and no responsibility.
