@Mari_Kurisato As for radioactive waste gen 4 reactors can actually use that as fuel now and reduce it to next to nothing, short lived isotopes

@Mari_Kurisato Again, ocean extraction would be ideal. Theres enough uranium in the ocean to last millions of years

@Mari_Kurisato energy poverty is really bad actually.

@Mari_Kurisato Because now theres 7 billion people on the planet dependant on modern technology for their survival.

@Mari_Kurisato Its either nuclear or fossil fuels. 100% renewable isnt possible. Theres not enough energy storage on the planet to make it work.

Also this is what happens to your very expensive solar farm during a hurricane

@Mari_Kurisato I said lowest impact. Everything has an impact and what happened to their water supply is exactly why i want ocean extraction which has virtually zero impact

heres some dirty aspects of solar panels, the silicon dust generated by their manufacture is causing lung diseases, the toxic metals are well,toxic. The rare earth minerals used cause radioactive waste thats uncontained. Those rare earth minerals are often mined by slave and child slave labor. Uranium mining on the other hand is the least impact mining we have and it will only get lower if you use ocean extraction of uranium, which i would honestly prefer as a uranium source

So it finally happened. One of my pro nuclear power posts on facebook some lady commented that it was "a shit-storm of lies from Russia." Bitch i was born in Iowa. You dont really get more American than that.

"we'll burn that bridge when we get to it" is still my absolute favorite corrupted idiom
which apparently has a name but I like "corrupted idiom" better
