MODERATORS
Yeah sure, the Fukushima region is/was thriving and people were happy to live next to a nuclear disaster. The cleanup will take another decade and lots of money. It's not just about the immediate radiation.
International bodies, like the ones that (afaik) can't access Iran's nuclear enrichment plants anymore ? Sure it may be more related to nuke production, and that's a tangential problem.
Stand off your high horse and your hyperboles. I didn't say that it was impossible to work on climate change without 190 going nuclear. However it's ignoring that most pollution comes from developing countries, countries that do not want to sacrifice their development, and would need nuclear or renewable. Guess what is cheaper and safer?
For Ukraine, yeah, but did you or I have a say in this war ? Do we have a say on Russia preventing 90% of workers that know the plant to go to work ? No such risk with renewables (except maybe hydro, as shown by Russia too).
Did I say that the plant would explode exactly like Chernobyl? No. The plant can be a disaster if one or multiple missiles hit it, with the mines and explosives reported as being set everywhere. Could the plant resist such impacts ? Probably, maybe. Do I care to find out ? No thanks.
Don't bother to respond if you are to take this discussion in bad faith. We can discuss things like adults without being hurt by the other side having a different opinion.
More gish gallop from the coal lobby.
I have worked on a Superfund site that is going to extend past 100 years, but your ten years is soooo impressive to me.
Yeah organized religion is shit not sure what you want from me. Maybe we can ban religion and ban your coal employers.
But you sure as hell brought it up.
Don't lie it is unbecoming of even a lobbyist.
Well it certainly didn't help that thanks to Big Fossil Fuels Russia has a natural gas stranglehold on Europe. Maybe if stopped listening to coal lobby people on the internet and built nuclear Russia would have backed off.
Again with the lies from Big Coal
Top kek.
