I’d take that bet you’re gonna regret 'cause I’m the oldest there’s ever been

Everything has trade-offs.

No shit?

Solar needs a LOT of land, works only during the day. Less effective the further north/south you get from the equator.

Guess what - we already take up a lot of land. Put some solar panels up there ffs. And geothermal’s a thing just fyi.

Wave power generation only works along coastlines or out at sea.

Damn you’re full of useful information.

Nuclear plants can be built just about anywhere. And newer designs are extremely safe. Canada’s CanDu reactors are practically instructable.

Instructable? Cool. That’s a thing nuclear designs should be.

A proper solution is a baseline of nuclear with wind, solar, hydro being built where possible.

We actually agree on that but your nuclear blathering takes too long. You got a 10’ x 10’ reactor for Hudson Bay then kudos, NOW can we get renewables set up OH AND a distribution network for our friends too far north or south to benefit from 12 hours of sun a day like in Norway o wait

Do… do you think that “Hiroshima” was a nuclear power plant that “accidentally exploded”, as opposed to a purpose built weapon?

JFC

Seems like you were literally the one propagandized. Only people who are misinformed are so against nuclear.

Good luck after graduation.

Nice list, but what you’ve demonstrated is that you in fact don’t understand. You’ve listed out just about every nuclear incident in history.

YOU don’t understand these are just the ones we know about.

If you had bothered to read the links you posted

If you had bothered to read the post you’re supposedly responding to instead of talking shit on automatic you might have addressed that. But you didn’t. Because you have zero interest in actual discussion.

This is the sound of me hanging up.
*boop*

So you see how it’s bad, unless we’re talking about humans literally dying as a result.

Yay? Am I supposed to give nuclear a point because “only” the environment and animal life was trashed? Okay, sure. “Less Deadly To Humans” than oil. Y’know people still eat Gulf seafood, but if that pipe was spewing radioactive waste for a month, they wouldn’t.

Actually, they probably would. I dunno. Renewables. That’s all.

Ok, how safe haven’t they been? How many were worse than deepwater horizon?

See above. None were worse than Hiroshima - at least as far as we can determine.

I’m guessing you’ve happily consumed what was given to you on a spoon and accepted that it was representative of the bigger picture.

? Okay? Fuck you too, I guess?

I grew up an hour from a 1GW reactor that got shut down in part due to “concerned citizens” like yourself. The site it stood on is still periodically checked by the DOE but is now a recreational area. How often do old coal plants do that?

So you were heavily propagandized as a child. Makes sense. The reasons why nuclear and coal plants are different are many and varied! For more information, consult your local library.

do you?

Yeah, I do.

Even Fukushima wasn’t that bad in terms of human casualties.

This is such a bizarre qualifier. Like when people handwave climate change because the rocks will still be here.

Well I was open to the discussion until this so.

Vote: No.

Yeah I could see that. But it’s not a particularly strong argument for nuclear. Just a strong argument against terraforming.

I know how safe they haven’t been - so that’s something.

I know environmental regulations mean nothing anymore and safety costs a lot of money. And profit is always the aim.

I’m sure it’s decades ahead of what was tried in the 70s and 80s. I’m sure it’s light years over coal and gas. And yet, I’m hesitant.

Can we just have renewables please? Look- other people got ‘em all over now. Wind, solar, wave, geothermal, battery types and capacities improving all the time. Ffs this was what it was it was supposed to be the whole time.

Guess when the US convicted them of being a monopoly.

G’head. Guess.

YellowKey can be triggered simply by merely copying some files to a USB stick and rebooting to the Windows Recovery Environment. We tested this ourselves, and sure enough, not only does it work, it bears all the hallmarks of a backdoor, down to the exploit’s files disappearing from the USB stick after it’s used once.

You’d think this would only be the 100th-or-so embarrassing security-defying bug to plague micro$oft but you’d be wrong.

It’s like we’re in a world where most people use windows to log on to facebook. Its bizarre.

Yeah its Not Safe As.

Gotta pack the board with lickspittles and family members.

Or the “American” chuckleheads targeting Alberta.
