  • Alright, tell me how many more nuclear reactors are needed globally. Let's just start with decarbonizing electricity production.

    And, next, tell me how long do you think that will take, judging based on the average reactor construction time since, say, 1990.

    Or look it up, maybe someone wrote an article with such a response.

  • It's an obstacle for anything, including nuclear. Just ask Japan.

  • There is, actually, a conflict. Renewables are more dynamic in production. You can turn them on and off quickly, you can scale them quickly too. You can't do that with nuclear plants. Baseload is not a goal, it's a limit. That's why the nuclear energy sector is friends with the coal sector.

  • Decarbonised by a stagnant and expensive industry that's friends with coal? Unlikely.

    nuclear energy is stagnant and decaying.

  • Ah, yes, teen figures out nuclear energy problems from bedroom. I'm sure she has a great career ahead spewing bullshit for some industry.

  • Work on ending car dependency

  • It's NOT a comparative study, it's about getting a point across to those who are too blind to see what's happening up close to them.

  • Former Nuclear Leaders: Say ‘No’ to New Reactors

    The former heads of nuclear power regulation in the U.S., Germany, and France, along with the former secretary to the UK’s government radiation protection committee, have issued a joint statement that in part says, “Nuclear is just not part of any feasible strategy that could counter climate change.”

  • That's exactly what conservatism is: the effort to conserve privilege and impunity.

    Rights for me, but not for thee.

  • I'm saying that I can't be bothered by your comment to look it up, even if I know I'll find the evidence.

    If this was an "evidence-based" thread, I'd make an effort, but it isn't.

  • I'm not even sure, and most believers probably can't answer that. If it's not written down, it's probably an unspoken rule. This type of rule exists as a common fallacy and a bias called the "Just World" fallacy. There's an entire site dedicated to it, since it's so important:

  • A persecution complex is built-in as a default feature for the Abrahamic ones. I'm sure it's not unique to them, but it's a default feature, part of the marketing.

    The cult dynamic of creating a cult identity works very nicely with converting criticism into a positive feedback loop for belief fervor. Instead of criticism being received honestly and evaluated accordingly, it's seen as conspiracy and mysterious/sinister/occult oppression. It's most obvious with the martyr fallacy, the notion that: "someone died for some idea/story/prophecy, therefore the story is true!". The past few years of pandemic have demonstrated repeatedly that it is a fallacy. And the backfire effect has its limits.

    Kindly, “where is your god now” will have no effect, assuming they look at it that way to begin with. That will be at the cost of ruining our (exmuslims) reputation, which imo isnt worth it.

    It's precisely for the doubters. The believers who are comfortable do not care.

    Deeming some story "sacred" is an appeal to authority, some ancient authority usually (so, to tradition), and it's used as a defense against criticism... against even trying to think about criticism. It marks some idea, some premise, as unquestionable. So ruining the illusion of sacredness is an important step in allowing inspection and criticism. Go ahead and ask exbelievers when they started to doubt and if they had fear of doubting in the first place.
