Comment Maybe (Score 5, Insightful) 645

Maybe if we don't look at it we can pretend it doesn't exist, right?

I commend Fox on this. As a consumer of news I want the CHOICE of whether I view this or not. I do not want the news provider to choose for me. As a point of fact, I have up to this point chosen not to view the video.

I am actually not upset a Fox for this, I am upset that the New York Times are such cowards that they won't show Charlie Hebdo cartoons.

Yep. Slashdot has become a huge pile of suck lately. It used to be "News for Nerds", now its looking more for "News for Nerd wannabes".

A political bent has been here a long time, but it used to be more even keeled, and the discussion used to be more open. Hell, even Jon Katz was better than some of the political drivel being posted here lately, especially vis a vis "diversity" and gamer gate. The progressive, hipster, and white knight posturing here lately has been sickening.

RIP Slashdot. We used to have logical discussions around here and talk about technology, when culture came up it was viewed from within and around the technology. Well the SJW's are on the march and they've arrived as /.

I'll be signing off now.

In the past 10 years, both a very large wind farm and an Natural Gas power plant have been build with 100 miles of where I live. Hydro is already very well utilized in my state. I am fully supportive of all of that. I'm not going to be marching and shouting NIMBY!

40% of the electricity I use is renewable already.

What we need to build next is a Nuclear Power plant.

I never said I was against renewables or Hydro power. I am against regulations and taxes that spike the price of energy and have severe negative economic impacts.

The problem is you are acting like we'll have to do that _immediately_ when in actuality we'll have to do that over the next 200-500 years.

This means that there will be instances where mitigation will be more effective (and more doable) in the future than acting now to drastically (extremely drastically) reduce our use of carbon to make these changes not take place.

There is a lot of mitigation technology and infrastructure that can be deployed and used in the next 200-500 years to deal with climate change issues.
