@BradMossEsq In 1954 the hugely popular radio host Walter Winchell launched a Tucker Carlson like defamation against the polio vaccine. It was partly in rebuttal that Elvis Presley got his famous polio shot on national television https://t.co/93hLHl9moF — PolitiTweet.org

Nixon-era price controls restricted "processed foods" but exempted "raw foods." The question arose: What about honey? A controlled "processed" or an exempt "raw" food? The eventual answer: controlled, because processed by bees. That's the kind of lunacy price controls sign up for — PolitiTweet.org

Here's my recent @TheAtlantic article about the urgency of nuclear power vs climate change. (And when the time comes to suck greenhouse gases back out of the atmosphere - that will require A LOT of carbon-zero electricity. Only one candidate for that job.) https://t.co/4i4jq3Fdnn — PolitiTweet.org

Last point here: the democracies are not helpless in the face of Chinese coal development. A well-designed carbon tax can double as a carbon tariff - excluding goods manufactured w/out regard to environmental cost. A NAFTA+EU+UK+Japan carbon-tariff zone would pack clout. — PolitiTweet.org

@Reuters There is only one technology that can immediately produce carbon-zero electricity on anything near the scale needed to stop emissions from rising - never mind reducing them - and that is nuclear. People need to rap their heads around this core fact, and very very fast. — PolitiTweet.org

@Reuters 150 gigawatts = 150,000 megawatts. In other words, China in the next 4 years will add more coal-powered electricity output than the entire existing non-hydro renewable output of the United States. https://t.co/ommyCWqCTi — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@Reuters The scale of the near-term Chinese coal project is staggering. China "is likely to build as much as 150 gigawatts (GW) of new coal-fired power capacity over the 2021-2025 period, bringing the total to 1,230 GW." — PolitiTweet.org

Back in the 1970s, Italy was divided between a messy coalition party of the center, the Christian Democrats, and a minority party committed to an extremist ideology, the Communists. Only ... the Italian Communists actually had a pretty good record accepting their election defeats — PolitiTweet.org
