That damn nuclear lobby, shipping metric tons of uranium across the world on nuclear powered ships, digging, stripping, pumping every single ounce of nuclear fuel all across the world on land and at sea, with a complete disregard towards human beings and the environment, all for billions in yearly profit.
These damn nuclear power exporters, wagging war on each other to gain control of nuclear resources to build more and more nuclear power plants, corrupting governments, killing people, polluting the air and the water all over the world. Pitting people against one another on carbon free energy generation, distracting from the real issue of completely getting rid of nuclear power generation to keep the planet livable in the future.
Yeah, that goddamn nuclear power lobby and nuclear power itself are definitely the problem in the fight against climate change.
Trying to make it funny does not change the fact that it is total moral corruption to push nuclear. There are long and detailed lists why nuclear is not the solution. Among them is that statistically, chernobil definitely will happen again, and it did btw. Long term storage is insanely expensive and we already are approaching high levels of renewables. The time we need to build nuclear reactors, next to the materials make it all just a pipe dream to mentally divest from renewables.
Its the same disinformation as immigrants taking our jobs and homes. Nuclear still requires someone with far superior technology. Otherwise you risk mass death. Renewables are easy to operate.
You realize the ultimate source of renewable energy is nuclear fusion?
Sure. Like from The Sun. We utilize that through photovoltaics and wind turbine generators. The wind is generated by uneven heating of the Earth by The Sun.
Of course, you're talking about nuclear fission, not nuclear fusion. That's what happens in a nuclear reactor.
Nincompoop.
Im talking about nuclear fusion not nuclear fission. But clearly youre here to troll and not actually have any understanding of the issues at hand
The article is talking about nuclear waste. Fusion is not yet an established and actually working energy source, despite what disinformation campaigns are trying to tell you.
"Nuclear" currently describes nuclear fission, which is the only way of actually producing energy as of today.
So YOU might mean fusion, but nobody else does.
Okay. Are you at school? Please ask your teacher to explain the difference between FUSION and FISSION.
Hey, you seem to be confused about their comment. Maybe ask YOUR teacher about reading comprehension.
Please go on about the morals of an inherently amoral tech.
Goof.
What?
Just as expected.
