I agree that we need to get away from coal and natural gas. I don’t think Nuclear is the answer though. You’re trading one set of major health and financial problems for another.
Apple and oranges. It’s unhealthy and unsafe to live near Chernobyl. It took nearly a decade for people to start moving back to Fukushima Prefecture after decontamination and subsides to lure people back.
The actual cost of a Nuclear disaster is incredibly costly.
It still requires mining, processing and it still produces waste, waste which has to sit at the site of the nuclear reactor or be transported across country to some other temporary site. To my knowledge there is still no permanent disposal site for nuclear waste in the United States.
No they aren’t, for one and I wasn’t just talking about uranium but the refining of it - these definitely favor Russian in a war of resources.
Where are you getting that from?
I care. I care that we don’t make a rash decision for a potential short term solution. Why not ramp up solar / wind and other alternatives?
Define “clean”
Oh, and Nuclear Power plants are just plopped down? Your comment wreaks of pie in the sky, uneducated bullshit.
Solar and Wind don’t take nearly as much fuel, maintenance, zoning, upfront costs or be subject to international power plays like nuclear power.
But this is my argument against those who complain about Solar and Wind – those won’t kill you or destroy a location for hundreds of years if they break down and once they’re installed they don’t have to be fed by more mining, or anything else. Just wind and sun.
Why do I feel like the call for more nuclear power has just been another sneaky ass ploy by Russia to use resources as a source for power?
Edit: yup. Thanks for convincing me.
Nice try, Boss Man!
That came out 2018?
The ending of the NY times review stuck out at me: “François Truffaut once wrote that “war films, even pacifist, even the best, willingly or not, glorify war and render it in some way attractive.” This, I think, gets at why Nolan refuses to show the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, world-defining events that eventually killed an estimated 100,000 to upward of 200,000 souls.”
Nah, that ain’t why. It’s because western audiences aren’t ready to deal with the horror these things cause. That’s it. Or, to put it another way, they’re Chicken Shit.
I just think it ultimately sounds like a lousy c-grade 3rd party app. Then again, Mastodon isn’t much better. At least Reddit is basically witty.
I hate the name Lemmy, there, I said it … as much as I hated the name Google+
Grow teeth…where?
