So you see how it’s bad, unless we’re talking about humans literally dying as a result.
Yay? Am I supposed to give nuclear a point because “only” the environment and animal life was trashed? Okay, sure. “Less Deadly To Humans” than oil. Y’know people still eat Gulf seafood, but if that pipe was spewing radioactive waste for a month, they wouldn’t.
Actually, they probably would. I dunno. Renewables. That’s all.
I mean, I’m outside my comfort zone, though I remember liking this when it aired. It was already clear the magic had mostly gone and the best we could do was moderately inspired humor and avoiding Lisa singing.
I call it “computer time” because I’m tired of people I’m talking with thinking its something to do with the military.
“UTC motherfucker! Do you speak it?!”
Ok, how safe haven’t they been? How many were worse than deepwater horizon?
See above. None were worse than Hiroshima - at least as far as we can determine.
I’m guessing you’ve happily consumed what was given to you on a spoon and accepted that it was representative of the bigger picture.
? Okay? Fuck you too, I guess?
I grew up an hour from a 1GW reactor that got shut down in part due to “concerned citizens” like yourself. The site it stood on is still periodically checked by the DOE but is now a recreational area. How often do old coal plants do that?
So you were heavily propagandized as a child. Makes sense. The reasons why nuclear and coal plants are different are many and varied! For more information, consult your local library.
do you?
Yeah, I do.
Note this section:
Transparency
China doesn’t deliver much useful information about the incidents of its fast growing fleet of nuclear power plants. The same problem exists with Russia, after Glasnost -transparency again under Vladimir Putin.
Even Fukushima wasn’t that bad in terms of human casualties.
This is such a bizarre qualifier. Like when people handwave climate change because the rocks will still be here.
Well I was open to the discussion until this so.
Vote: No.
Only the beast people
Yeah I could see that. But it’s not a particularly strong argument for nuclear. Just a strong argument against terraforming.
I know how safe they haven’t been - so that’s something.
I know environmental regulations mean nothing anymore and safety costs a lot of money. And profit is always the aim.
I’m sure it’s decades ahead of what was tried in the 70s and 80s. I’m sure it’s light years over coal and gas. And yet, I’m hesitant.
Can we just have renewables please? Look- other people got ‘em all over now. Wind, solar, wave, geothermal, battery types and capacities improving all the time. Ffs this was what it was it was supposed to be the whole time.
These are not kids in school, btw. They’re slaves sold for rape.
Not that republicans have any problems with raping kids. In fact, their golden leader is king of kid rape. So maybe it’s like he said; he just wanted to retire. Maybe do some travel.
Guess when the US convicted them of being a monopoly.
G’head. Guess.
They’re always concerned with it when they’re not in office. But these days no one cares what’s real.
Videos just don’t work on Lemmy if they don’t play in-line.
Surprised it doesn’t already have golden, big-boobed mermaid fountains all over it.
They’re not the only ones. C’mon lefties, get in here.
Fwiw my idiot work MAGAt just digs in deeper every disaster. It’s all the essential freedom work of a true genius.
It’s insanity.
Uh oh! Here comes Lee Marvin! Now it’s gonna get good!
