When you hear people hating on bureocracy is mostly rich people hating on rules which stop them from fucking the public over for profit.
The truth is: we can't possibly plan a safe storage for that kind of timespan, there are way better alternatives like renewables, everyone arguing for nuclear is replacing the propaganda from the fossil lobby with propaganda from the nuclear lobby.
My theory on why Americans recently started to believe in a miricale storage which in the future sure will be found? Because if they wouldn't they would need to realise that they need to change their economy and their way of living
We have there options:
- Continue fossils and make earth uninhabitable for a medium (on the scale of humanity) duration of time.
- Switch to renevables, even if it means changing our way of living, maybe overproducing less, having less ultra riches etc.
- Switch to nuclear, which isn't fast enough to stop the fossil problem but also contaminates earth for a ultra long amount of time and also is way harder to get rid of (we have at least in theory options to get co2 out of the atmosphere even if its not at all practical/usable e ough to help us with our current situation, for nuclear waste there is literally nothing you can to except wait.)
No sane person I met ever argued for 1, but since some time Americans seem to start arguing for 3 instead of 2 with literally no good arguments.
No one is arguing for fossils lol That's a strawman
And yes, I just gave you the first link I found, point given, but you wouldn't argue that nuclear waste is safe to be around would you?
You people always come and compare to oil.
THATS A STRAWMAN NOONE IS ARGUING FOR OIL
yes short term the rising temp by climate gases is prob worse, but you need to compare it to actual alternatives, like wind, water, sun -.-
Everyone fucking knowes that oil needs to be stopped from being used better yesterday then today, but this doesn't make nuclear any better
Didn't think people smart enough to use Lemmy would fall for american nuclear lobbying.
Guys come on you can't really think nuclear is better then renewables and everyone who thinks differently is having an agenda.
If something like this ends up in my feed I wanna talk to the people and see how they ended up with such "interesting" positions, that's all.
(For what I can tell most are Americans and influenced by local consent manufacturing)
We didn't this is misinformation spread in USA. Yes we shut down nuclear plants (but the laws fasing out nuclear were made over a decade ago because we still haven't found a solution for the waste, this was all looong before nordstream) and our investments in renewable are behind, but none is planning on going back to coal (except some crazy right wing fascists who are not in political power)
For the most part we are investing in gas heavily at the moment, which is fucking stupid in our climate situation, but the fracking gas from the USA with very competitive prices and lot of political hegemony from USA drive the government to do it anyway.
The source you give is comparing the direct surrounding of opperating power plants, it is not talking about the nuclear waste. no on argues living near an (safely) operating power plant is too dangerous, its that you get nuclear waste which is the problem. Sure you can wheel it of to somewhere else, but then its a problem there.
In germany we have, after 20 years of search, not one safe place. The one we have for temporal storage is expected to start leaking soon..
Hahah
First: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_and_radiation_accidents_by_death_toll
Second: Tell me one spot on earth where we can put this stuff safely.
All the ones named "safe" in the past weren't so safe actually weren't they?
Also detecting radiation poisoning as cause of death is super hard, if you die from cancer, it could very well be radiation, but it will not get counted as such, except it is very well documented you got exposed (which it isn't if its in the Drinkwater supplies as we fear it will happen in a few years here in Germany with the "Endlager asse" because the tons containing the waste are rusting.
There is still no solution for waste which is litteratly a unseeable, unsmellable, untasteble killer, radiating for longer then fucking civilization exists. We CANT possibly plan good enough to manage those kinds of timescales, and we don't have a plan by now AT ALL
Everyone who thinks this is all taken care of by the responsible company's selling nuclear has learned nothing from the fossil fuel desaster. You are falling for propaganda again
All the ones you mentioned except nuclear don't create radiation waste at all.....
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_and_radiation_accidents_by_death_toll
Quite a few (if you remember not even a fraction oft its life time is over by now)
Also: radiation doesn't kill right away. Often you live 10 more years with weird symptoms and die from something like heart attack, so your death isn't counted as "caused by radiation exposure" but as "died from cancer" or "heart attack"
Maybe because we still don't have a solution for the waste which kills people generations after your death?
Now calculate how many generations of turkeys will be eaten till the waste stops killing people
Edit: can't believe how many people here are falling for nuclear. Have you all learned nothing from what companies did with fossil fuels? Taking the profits and leaving humanity with a fucked up world? And now you are falling for the same stuff with nuclear again, I assume this is the discourse in america which is so scewed? Here in Europe people are not that naive... Even the ones in France, which is quite into nuclear are reasonable and see the waste problem normally.
And here on Lemmy people really come and say "nuclear waste isn't dangerous, it didn't kill anyone"
Wtf people?!
Clipboard empty :(
Hatte to be mister smarty-pants here, but empirically if your life was ruined from the start, your chances of recovery through therapy are actually much higher then for someone who ruined it himself/got Ill later on in life.
The thing is: finding therapy that works for you is a process on its own. You will likely have to try a lot of them to find a good one who has free slots. But you will find one eventually and if you have it does help!
Just one word of caution: go to to ones who actually have a Dr./major/magister in psychology and are registered doctors.
I hope you life in a country with good universal healthcare, if so you can just go to a therapist (they offer single sittings for cases like that) and discuss with him what kind of therapy could work for you and what the next address can be.
I am someone who is not religious and believes everyone should have a free decision if they want to live or not, but my galeart says: man, don't give yourself up, especially not because of damage inflicted on you by others. All the best from germany
Imho: Be generous with the amount of coffe, don't let it sit but very slowly start pressing almost right away.
Gives a rich flavor low in bitterness but high in caffeine.
I also use espresso beans for this technique just because it tastes better for me.
Side note: personally I prefer this coffee with a generous amount of (this is not) milk
US becoming facist is one oft the biggest news here, as they are our hegemon.
Greetings from Germany
Also the neolibs fucked with social democrats and greens for long enough they got fired
Dude, its a strawman because im not arguing pro fossil but pro solar, Wind, Walter and economical and social change.
