The authors of the genocide in Palestine today is the Israeli settler state led by Netanyahu and supported by Biden. Of course the comparisons to Hitler are justified. Your comment reads as genocide denial within that context. These Hitler comparisons not fall from the sky but was developed in context. If you really are outspoken about your support of Palestinians, then it would have been obvious why these comparisons are made.
That's not the point. Of course you're correct, but the point is there's literally nobody and no state or government in the world willing to actually commit to what the climate actually needs. There are literally dozens of UN reports to this effect. All Biden is doing is tokenism, just like every other so-called climate policy in the world.
I also don't care about arguments about perfection being the enemy of progress. We are literally facing annihilation. We need drastic cuts to fossil fuel production. No government is willing to do that. I will not defend tokenism in the face of annihilation.
Again, I'm not talking about perfection. This has nothing to do with perfection being the enemy of good. It's about refusing to support tokenism in the face of annihilation. If Biden does some "good" climate policy, I ain't gonna say "keep it up old man" Imma bully him until he get shit done. THAT is sensible climate activism in the face of annihilation.
Biden is holding the world hostage. He's 75% Hitler against Trump's 150% Hitler. It doesn't matter to me either way since I literally can't vote for either Hitler. I can hardly bully him either from the global south.
And what? You happy with these self-congratulating fucks cook us alive with their inaction? Be serious. Bully Biden until he phases out fossil fuels or overthrow the government. Pick one and don't bother me with your contentment.
Another (very quick) take on the caustic soda locomotive concept based on this comment on my last postcard about what a version with swappable boilers might look like....
No the hydrogen is not a battery, it is gray hydrogen sourced from fossil gas or coal. This makes the hydrogen still a fossil fuel. Green hydrogen doesn't have this problem.

To me, the meme acknowledges that GOG installers are shared in groups, which is piracy since the other people didn't pay for it. (That doesn't mean it's bad btw.)

Haven't read those but I greatly enjoyed his four books, the Mars Trilogy and the additional Martian short story collection. Quite a bit of Mars Trilogy was inspired by the political philosophy of Murray Bookchin, now appreciated for anticipating a lot of the political philosophy behind solarpunk and degrowth.

That's not the point. Only states can deploy nuclear energy. A city or province can't do it. Only fossil fuels or renewables can guarantee local energy sovereignty. And since fossil fuels are bad, that leaves only renewables.
Pro-nuke energy is getting more and more indefensible after each disaster. May I remind you that literally nobody knows how to deal with long term storage of nuclear waste. No, dumping them in bunkers is not a long-term solution and never was sustainable.
New developments in nuclear technology like with small modular reactors would produce more nuclear waste than conventional reactors. Not to mention that there isn't enough uranium in the entire Earth for the whole world to shift to nuclear. It's dangerous, expensive, and its waste is also dangerous and expensive.
My opposition to nuclear isn't merely because it is dirty, deadly, and costly but also because it relies on a specific technology of power to implement, a specific technology of power that has always been highly authoritarian. As part of the green movement of my country, we also push for denuclearization precisely because the 300mW nuclear power plant was built without democratic oversight. (Imagine risking non-zero chance of meltdown for a measly 300 mW!) Democratic movements are more likely to oppose nuclear energy, so it's no wonder countries who are poor in democracy like China, USA, Russia, and France build and maintain nuclear power plants despite the public opposition.
Not only that, but nuclear power fuels the valorization process under the capitalist mode of production. Even if the whole world shifts to nuclear energy, the same technology of power that constructed the nuclear power plants would also go about oppressing people.
Nuclear energy can only operate under a specifically authoritarian technology of power. A free society—whether that be anarchist, communist, or radically democratic—simply cannot use the violence needed to construct a nuclear power plant.
But you probably don't care about that. For you, this technology of power is probably a desideratum as long as you get your damn iPhones and airconditioning.
