I'm not sure what you mean.

I have tried KDE several times, and can't bring myself to like it.

To each their own.

Right? I'm about to install them now that I'm vertical and caffeinated.

Thr socialistworker.co.uk has a clear anti nuclear bias.

It was easy to find multiple articles with them bashing nuclear from a simplr Leta search.

I hope the UK government does go hard on nuclear. It's a good supplement to renewable energy. With the rigjt reactor type, it too could be renewable energy.

Probably the same thing that has American congress doing it. Ties to fossil fuel companies.

Yeah, that's really fearmongery.

Most of the water that leaks out will be cooling water, which means deuterium mixed with normal water. There may be small amounts of tritium in it, but that's not too worrying either.

Or Epstein -Barr. Or Varicella.

Eliminating all of those would be great.

It leaches enough radioactive water into the ground to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool every three years

That's actually not bad. That's a slow leak that has plenty of time to dilute with the ground water.

Dilution is the solution to pollution.

This is a fearmongering, sensationalist, click baity style article.

That was a Neo style dodge like in the Matrix.

Nuclear is cleaner and safer than coal.

In fact, a fly ash pond is both radioactive and full of carcinogenic substances.

It's just a weird thing I have now that I'm a chemistry major. 🀣

I love my friends and family across the pond.

I often pull out that linguistically, my Appalachian dialect of English is closer to Elizabethan English than anything else spoken today. πŸ™‚

In the end, it doesn't really matter to anyone except pedants.

I won't concede any part of American English until they start pronouncing "aluminum" instead of "aluminium".

We found the element, so we got to name it, and it doesn't matter if it breaks with the naming convention that was already established.
