The biggest con job in history

Well, maybe it isn't the biggest.  If not the biggest, one of the biggest.

It is the global warming scam.  It is hard to spot because it appears plausible.

I think it is a scam because it is preventing us from taking real action that could help us.  Real action is to adopt molten-salt reactors at the earliest possible date.

The reason?  I think the energy problem is related to the rocket problem that I've written about.  The amount of energy needed for rockets increases exponentially while increasing thrust to the rocket grows only linearly.  The only way to get that kind of energy is nuclear.  Likewise, the amount of energy needed for continual economic growth is going to increase at a rate that won't allow anything but nuclear to work.  So called renewable energy will never work.  Even oil and gas won't work.  Chemicals won't work for rockets, and it probably won't work for growing and affluent societies.  The energy needs are just too great.

The great con is to keep people from realizing this.  This keeps things as they are, which is highly profitable for some fat cats.  But it is not going to be good for the rest of us.

I just read something that says that Bakken and Eagle Ford are being blown way out of proportion.  Yeah, I think I can believe that.  It is part of the con job.

We should be developing the molten-salt reactor.  It has been available to us for 40 years.  So have nuclear rockets.  We should be developing those too.

The alternative could be ruin.
