Partially related to my previous post: Did you know that all coal contains trace amounts of nuclear material? Mostly Uranium and Thorium. Burning the coal releases this nuclear material into the atmosphere! (Who could have thought).

In a 2009 report by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it was estimated that all US coal plants combined emit more, much more, nuclear waste than all US nuclear plants combined *consume* in nuclear material.

"More than 1,000 “super-emitter” sites gushed the potent greenhouse gas methane into the global atmosphere in 2022"

Hard to know what the most shocking part of this story is, but just the idea that 25% of current warming is from methane and **40%** of that methane is from entirely avoidable fossil fuel facility leaks is horrifying. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/06/revealed-1000-super-emitting-methane-leaks-risk-triggering-climate-tipping-points #methane #climate #fossilfuels
