Uranium3006

We should have never listened. Excusing blatant crimes against humanity because the country doing it was made up of the different group that was the victim of a horrific genocide of the previous century was clearly a mistake in hindsight now that the circle is complete and they have become the genociders themselves. Every argument that Israel somehow special, that deserve to be treated differently was clearly a mistake and we must never repeat this mistake.

america is a sick joke

It’s kinda insane how much abuse we all tolerated that turned out to be totally unnecessary

Now that fediverse link aggragation has hit critical mass for non ghost town atmosphere I.have no reason to go back to a Corpo shopping mall. Sure I’m more likely than not to still.run out of new stuff to look at but that takes a while and I accept it as a growing pain while we grow to greatness. Soon even that won’t be an issue and the corpos will be toast

Spez is a nazi

future tech like SMRs

it’s not future tech, it’s present tech

big oil kneecapped it and enviromentalists still think they’re thinly veiled bomb factories. you can tell because you substitute “thorium” for “nuclear” and favorability shoots up way more than you’d expect taking into account non-hysteria reasons

that’s pretty common for big box stores. they’re put up cheaply and the buildings are only rated to last 15 years in some cases.

trusting corporations is always a bad idea

you’re uninformed

nonsense regulation combined with some high profile failures from barely modified gen 2 designs being built in countries where there hasn’t been a nuclear construction industry for decades so they have to build the infrastructure from scratch each time. it’s the wrong approach. the SMR route way is better.

snuffed out by big oil who co-opted anti nuclear weapons protestors to take out their competition

also since fuel costs aren’t really a problem for nuclear power, you can just throw away excess generation. not the best idea but perfectly possible in a pinch

yeah, do a nuclear backup for renewables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_Molten_Salt_Reactor this reactor outputs solar salt, which can store energy efficiently for hours and allow load following

china’s been building dozens of reactors, all of a common design which is the correct way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hualong_One

bullshit regulatory costs can increase infinitely without nay change to the underlying engineering or economics. that’s 100% the cause of the price increses

big oil pushes this stuff, by the way. because they know the reality that when nuclear plants get shut down, natural gas replaces it

yeah you can do throium, and there are some compelling reasons to, but uranium is fine enough. anti-nuke isn’t about actual technical enlargements. the anti nukes hate nuclear fusion too

indeed. also chernobyl and fukushima aren’t comparable, really. I’d support a law that all new power reactors need to have passive cooling relying on the laws of physics, not relying on external power, but that’s not a high bar and many designs already have it. remember that most currently operating reactors were built all at once in the mid 20th century and even then their safety record has been great. we can do better with new construction

the most dangerous part of nuclear power is not using enough nuclear power
