3. Well, I'm not sure I'm trying to tell you something, but I'll try to distill it.

Although I am proud to regard myself as a "dyed in the wool liberal," I oppose land intensive and material intensive so called "renewable energy," despite it's rather knee jerk popularity on our end of the political spectrum.

I have shown many times that spending trillions of dollars on "renewable energy" that it has nothing to do with environmental goals, in particular, addressing the collapse of the planetary atmosphere.

I regard the true goal of enthusiasm for "renewable energy" was, and largely still is, to attack nuclear energy.

Ever since Chernobyl established the worst case for a nuclear plant failure I have been a pronuclear activist.

I hope this helps.

As for whether I'm fun at parties, it would depend on the personal taste of the party goer. Party goers who have a taste for sarcasm might, occasionally think me fun, but to many people, I may be a bit of a bore. I'm fine with that. I understand that personal tastes vary.

To be frank, in recent years I've cut down greatly on party going, preferring to stay home and read a lot before I run out of time on the planet, which is approaching at my age.
