  • THE WORLD IS NOT FINLAND.

    Unless you’re volunteering to take the world’s radioactive waste, stop thinking the world is finland, jfc you’re worse than an american

    And yeah, storage pools WORLDWIDE are being used as defacto permanent storage. That’s what you call it when you have no plan to move the shit.

    gonna block you now, you’re either too dense to realize there’s a whole world outside your tiny country, or deliberately obtuse.



  • from the hill article:

    So Biden never explicitly made a one-term promise during the campaign

    ok. Look I’m not trying to pick a fight, I just never heard biden say that and wondered what I’d missed. The Hill article goes on to state:

    but he certainly implied it with the language of “transition.”

    yeeaah, uh, I’m going to vote for him because < HAHA FUCKING HELLSCAPE PROJECT 2025 > either way








  • yep, they’re awesome, and may sidestep some of the HUGE investments in gigantic infrastructure - one day. What you conveniently leave out is no one is doing this yet at scale; china’s got one test reactor going last time I looked.

    I personally love the idea, but the nuclear industry here in the US is obsessed with large steam turbine setups in the multiple megawatt scale; even small modular reactors are getting side eyes.

    So yeah, it exists, but it’s not going to displace the current tech (which is really 60’s tech with better electronics).


  • why bother investing enormous amounts of money into a tech that’s already problematic? when there are better solutions at hand?

    I’m not anti-nuclear, I just think further investment into it is misguided when there are so many other options that don’t create tens of thousands of years of radioisotopes that have to go somewhere.

    good on Scandinavia, the rest of the world isn’t in such privileged positions. As seen in Fukushima. As seen in the hundreds of cooling ponds all over the US.
