Eventually there will be nuclear winter. Where will your precious solar power be then?
Arthur van der Harg@aerofreak @VoiceofDuum Some people have always said that nuclear energy would make the energy crisis go away.
@ArtHarg
Yes, because it would enable them to make the biggest profits imaginable, with all the subsidies and the passing on of all risks, including disposal, to the general public.
@aerofreak @VoiceofDuum No, more because a nuclear winter would come with a substantial reduction in demand for energy.
@ArtHarg
😂 Now I've got you.
Been a bit slow on the uptake.

Morgan ⚧️@ArtHarg @aerofreak @VoiceofDuum it's worth remembering that nuclear power and nuclear weapons are drastically different things, and nuclear power is not going to cause nuclear winter unless a lot of things go wrong 😅 unironically, if nuclear winter happens and solar panels stop working, nuclear power might actually help with that 😭 here's hoping we never need to seriously have that discussion, because we focus on degrowth and also don't put all our energy eggs in one basket
@raphaelmorgan @aerofreak @VoiceofDuum The major difference between them is the timescale on which the nuclear energy is released. All the rest is either control or consequence :-)
