Comment Re:While the Climate Warms (Score -1) 132

I think there's a reasonable possibility that the new reactor designs will yield a good result, climate-wise.

Not after the gargantuan amounts of concrete used for cooling towers, ponds, and concrete bunkers to store the forever hazard.

They'll still have to figure out what to do with the nuclear waste in the long term, though; but compared to climate change that's a relatively easy problem to solve.

How do you figure, given the waste will remain a concentrated toxic heavy metal until the sun goes nova.

Comment WHO takes advantage? (Score -1) 126

And world wars as Russia and/or China take advantage of it.

It's not Russia or China who dominates international finance and uses it as weapon. It's not Russia or China who have a thousand military bases around the world. It's not Russia or China who even have a term for controlling the entire planet, Full Spectrum Dominance. It's not Russia or China raping poor countries with the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

That's all the US.

Comment Wyden is a coward who necessitated Snowden (Score -1) 54

Wyden spoke for years around the edges about unconstitutional spying. He had absolute immunity from prosecution for anything he said on the Senate floor, but was too cowardly to do what Snowden (still threatened with prison for life) did on laying out the depths of government spying. Wyden is a useless shitlib just like Bernie.

It's called respect for the source material. M Knight Shalaman's Avatar is on my lifetime boycott list because he whitewashed all the protagonists. Tolkien's elves were white AF and should stay that way. Not hard to understand as it's northern European fantasy. Race swapping half the cast as out of place as a sub-Saharan fantasy being half caucausian.

I'm not "trying to make it happen"

Half your posts say otherwise.

We will likely see three recently shuttered nuclear power plants reopen in the next four years.

IOW the most expensive, least reliable and most dangerous to operate.

Germany appears to be reversing their plan to abandon nuclear power.

A plurality of German power has come from solar for many years now despite getting the same amount of sunlight as Alaska. What Germany wasn't ready for was having the Nordstream pipelines blown, which they owned 49% of, cutting off their main LNG supplier.

Australia wants nuclear power.

You mean one opposition leader. Opposition, not the PM.

I believe it will not be as easily stopped as it was in the 1980s

The USG doesn't give the tiniest, greenest little shit about what it's own people want, much less the rest of the world. Yet new nuclear plants aren't going up in our thousand military bases around the world, despite the US Navy arguably having the best safety record on the planet. Almost like radioactive water heaters making fuel for nuclear weapons isn't an economically justifiable proposal.
