This is a joke, right? I grew up near one of those "safe" underground disposals and it's a disaster. Why risk that when there are so mich cleaner optional available today?

doesnt coal emissions have some radiation in it too?

I think the average person vastly over estimates how much waste is produced. If I recall the stat was that the entire world's nuclear waste could fit in a football field. That's really tiny.

Nuclear is the best btw

Naw. I was once enrolled in an Energy/Climate-focussed Masters degree, and scientific consensus for the goal generally seemed to range from "mostly renewables + a tiny bit of nuclear" to "all renewables". Nuclear feels like this amazing hack but it's expensive, and the storage problem, while sometimes overstated, is also often understated or falsely misrepresented as solved.

Forcing nuclear down our throats while renewables are a thing is so wild. And people actually defend nuclear.

You want mining of sparse minerals by workers in inhuman conditions? Check

You want a contamination which will exist for longer than the oldest human build structure? Check (because the barrels you made made indestructible, just dont test this pls)

You want centralized energy way more expansive than solar or wind? Check

There are literally no upsides of nuclear against renewables and a battery.

pro-nuke when you tell them nuclear energy is fossil fuel energy: 😡

*wind and solar are unarguably the best energy sourcrs, and the only sustainable ones.

Get lost with your expensive nuclear energy. Renewables produce MUCH cheaper energy.

“Indestructible”?

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Thanks for the laugh, pal.

BREATHE*

More and more words are apparently becoming to hard to use correctly for a big part of people online. This is one that I almost never saw anyone getting wrong until a couple of years ago and it's becoming more and more common, same with writing "cloth/cloths" instead of "clothe/clothes". It's infuriating.
