š¾šššš šæšššNuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
WhosMansIsThisIām sure nuclear can be super safe and efficient. The science is legit.
The problem is, at some point something critical to the operation of that plant is going to break. Could be 10 years, could be 10 days. Itās inevitable.
When that happens, the owner of that plant has to make a decision to either:
In our current society, I donāt have to guess which option the owner is going to choose.
Additionally, we live in a golden age of deregulation and weaponized incompetence. If a disaster did happen, the response isnāt going to be like Chernobyl where they evacuate us and quarantine the site for hundreds of years until its safe to return. Itāll be like the response to the pandemic we all just lived through. Or the response to the water crisis in Flint Michigan. Or the train derailment in East Palestine.
Considering the fallout of previous disasters, I think itās fair to say that until we solve both of those problems, we should stay far away from nuclear power. Weāre just not ready for it.
Hi i was a nuclear mechanic, and thatās not how it works. Iām on the toilet so Iām not gonna explain it now. Arm chair expert, uninformed opinions like this are part of the reason weāre stuck on fossil fuels to begin with.
Everyone brings up Chernobyl like almost 4 entire decades of scientific advancement just didnāt happen.
I was a nuclear plant owner and thatās not how it doesnāt work. I also have a toilet related reason why I wonāt contribute meaningfully to this discussion.
Okā¦
You keep keep those next to your toilet?
The reason weāre stuck on fossil fuels isnāt just because of the peopleās opinions. The main reason is the same as for most other major problems: money.
The problem is not science, the problem is not tech, the problem is people, making decisions, like making Fukushimaās sea barriers 3 or 4 meters shorter than worse case scenario because money. Nuclear can be safe. People and money make it unsafe.
French hĆØre . when a plan bas a problem we just sit it down repair and it re work
