The reactor meant to showcase nuclear’s comeback keeps hitting problems

Reply in thread

I just would like to point out that China is putting up stable reactors in less than 7 years span. https://thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/chinas-impressive-rate-of-nuclear-construction

I do think we need every egg in this basket to hatch though, and honestly our main focus should be renewables as you said. But nuclear is just so damn reliable. Besides a reactor can last 75+ years. https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/whats-lifespan-nuclear-reactor-much-longer-you-might-think

Nuclear is also incredibly energy efficient. If you were able to power 100.00% of an 82 year life completely on nuclear, the fuel needed for that is about the size of a soda can. https://cna.ca/2019/06/25/your-lifetime-used-fuel-would-fit-in-a-soda-can-want-proof/

I absolutely love nuclear, I think it's such a cool energy source. And it brings together so many disciplines of industry and engineering. But I am also a huge proponent of decentralization, and I recognize that nuclear plants are the epitome of central, state and corporate owned, need high security and expertise to run. Whereas, solar and wind once made can be community owned, individually owned, off grid, etc. I think there's pros to a multi layered approach.

Any room can be an escape room when you lose core motor functions.

I actually don't believe DMT affects your motor functions like alcohol, but the saying holds true still!!

‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

Shocking... You can't vote in socialism. Unfortunately, people jerk the Nordic countries so hard they can't see they're run off imperialism, resource extraction, and the same awful capitalist system.

I'm not directing this at you BTW, I can assume you're probably a socialist or communist based on your instance. It's just sad to see libs continue to think that Europe is somehow this wonderland utopia. But it's still run by the Epstein class, many of the families there of far older influence than in the Western hemisphere.

Trump's Voter Raids Have Begun

Reply in thread

Fascism is imperialism turned inwards. All this shit we've been doing to other countries (and foreign policy is consistently bipartisan) is now coming back to us.

It doesn't matter if the majority disapprove, Trump doesn't represent the things done in the US' brightest moments, he is the culminatiom and the product of the shadows. The nepobaby of a filthy rich, white supremacist mega-landlord in NY, shaped by reality TV that glamorized the most antisocial parts of human behavior, the product of no consequences for rich people despite fucking over THOUSANDS of contactors, employees, and businesses. I could go on about Epstein, Daniels, etc.

Are you surprised this empire doesn't show off its dark underbelly proudly?

If So Many Americans Care About Climate, Why Don’t They Vote Like It? 11.2 million. That’s the number of Americans who rank climate as a their top priority but didn’t vote in the 2024 US elections
