For your amusement: The Electric Sun
http://www.electric-cosmos.org/sun.htm
(thanks to a certain someone's sig line)

Did you know that nuclear fusion is a lie and the sun is electrically powered? I'm guessing the power comes from stacks
of big alkaline batteries like in a big flashlight.

2. If not for the hilarious woo, I'd probably hit ignore.
Irritating? Yes.
Mind numbingly ignorant? Yep.
Unintentionally hilarious content? Definitely.

3. We all know that fusion doesn't exist.
Nuclear power plants are just figments of a deranged imagination.

Q3JR4.

4. That's too simplistic.
We know that fusion doesn't exist because we haven't achieved controlled reactions. Nuclear weapons that have fusion reactions have electrical components and release an electro-magnetic pulse. Therefore, it must be an electrical phenomenon that creates the blast.

Likewise, nuclear power plants generate electricity. Therefore, they don't operate by nuclear fission, but by electricity.

And we'll just forget about all of that radioactive fall out...

7. I LOVE the image
of the sun as being powered by a couple of humongous D batteries.
