So removing very rare and irreplaceable lithium and cobalt for car batteries is "green" Building wind turbines and solar panels from yet more rare materials and using vast amounts of energy to do so is "green". Had we spent a fraction of the money spent on inefficient ghastly wind turbines on filtration systems for coal and oil then since the UK is built on coal and since we can filter out a virus, surely we can filter out coal dust. Same people, same philosophy, same financiers, same solutions as Covid. Clearly a coincidence or conspiracy.

A surprising enemy of nuclear energy is, the nuclear industry. Examples include massive attacks on thorium fuelled designs by the packagers of fissile fuel and carbon control rods. The most frustrating was the crushing of the late 1950’s compact liquid fuelled reactor which used simple gravity to drain the core if control was lost.
