I know that most men not only those considered clever, but even those who are very clever and capable of understanding most difficult scientific, mathematical, or philosophic, problems can seldom discern even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as obliges them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with much difficulty conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught to others, and on which they have built their lives.

At present there is a preponderance of evidence that there is no threshhold dose of ionizing radiation so low that it is safe or such that the risk of damage (even serious damage such as leukimia) is zero Karl Z. Morgan

Insanity*
*Photovoltaics are most effective in distributed contexts like solar lm and solar thermal for homes and businesses. Generating utility scale power with solar is actually more expensive than current dirty energy methods. Today, solar investments are already tied to dated tech that makes for a great show for investors, but not so much benet for the rest of us. Chinas 54 percent share of the global panel-making market will grow, and well remain locked into older technology.

Insanity*
*Wind farms disrupt delicate ecosystems and communities where they are placed. They use oil to drive the turbines and are already invested on oild and gas for their existence. The noise and vibrations are harmful to the biosphere, and the tech is already old compared to bladeless Tesla turbine inspired solutions at the local level. Its Greenwashing at its best.

*Since the obvious negative effects on food production and biodiversity have been well documented with Ethanol, mass produced natural and synthetic Algae production is now the Biodiesel beacon. While more viable local production options from cooking oil to biowaste takes a backseat, the billions betting on large scale Algae futures waste both private and public funds for an yet unclear upside and clearly known downsides for biodiversity and arable land.

Dan Nocera and his team at MIT have developed an articial photosynthesis leaf that can generate 10X the storage within 1/100 of the volume of commercial fuel cell. A swimming pool full of water (3.2 million liters) for example can generate over 43TW (Terrawatts) per second using his solution.
