Nuclear energy is often sold as reliable baseload power, but in reality, it’s increasingly vulnerable to the very climate chaos it's meant to fight. Heatwaves raise river temperatures, forcing plants to shut down because the water is too hot to cool reactors without exceeding safety limits. Droughts reduce water levels so much that there's simply not enough to run the cooling systems. Freezing conditions can block intakes entirely. These aren't rare events anymore.
Maintenance and refueling take reactors offline for months at a time, while solar panels and wind turbines can be swapped or fixed quickly and cheaply. And if a wind turbine fails, you get a dented field or a blown fuse. If a reactor fails, you get a contaminated exclusion zone and a decades-long disaster.
Then there's the cost. Sellafield alone is expected to cost UK taxpayers £243 billion to decommission, with work stretching out for the next 100 years. That doesn’t include the permanent storage needs for radioactive waste, which must be secured from leaks, theft, and terrorism for up to 184,000 years. No wind farm or solar array leaves a bill like that.
"The new units at Vogtle took about 10 years to build. It took about 8 years to build each new unit at the Barakah nuclear power plant in UAE."
Well, anti-nuke demonstrators in UAE get handled a leeeetle bit differently.
Not to mention the needed permits.
Yes, no radar nor lidar, and they can be fooled by a photo of a tunnel running into a mountain like Wiley Coyote.
Betteridge's law of headlines with question marks demands it.
Unless on purpose to hide the fact.
Each time I ask ChatGPT a research question, it answers with the fucking oval button links that cannot be copy/pasted so I have again to tell it to lose those and replace them with raw html links.
Then I have to tell it what raw html links means and to drop the ChatGPT hints in the links.
Then I have to tell it to lose the fucking em-dashes that I absolutely hate.
And so on, it has my memory file stating all this, but it never checks it.
So usually the 5th time is the charm.
And ChatGPT complains that saying 'thank you' costs them millions?
You're right, but ANYBODY can video from the public sidewalk.
At least an AI CEO will have a slider to change the sociopathy and or psychopathy to the desired grade.
"Unless I give consent, that is breaking the law. Is that such a difficult thing to understand? "
It is, no privacy in public. Choose a gym with non-transparent windows.
Em dashes show an increase of 25000% since ChatGPT for some reason is a serious fan of those.
"Age assurance can be done in Australia and can be private, robust and effective,"
Famous last words.
They should ask him.
I don't do it for the money. -- Donald Trump, Art of the Deal
