  • “This waste shouldn’t be overly dangerous and the fact that it isn’t doesn’t say how dangerous it is”. Wow. How did you do this?

    Here I thought you’re just slow and didn’t read what I wrote so I was already preparing to just explain what I said.

    What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the dangers of radioactive waste?

    Did you read what I write?

    I will rephrase you:

    What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the amount of radioactive waste?

    This is where I realised you’re just trolling.

    What nonsense is this?

    Compare gloves that were used once to turn valve on pipe in reactor room to shit from coal in your lungs.

    No shit, Sherlock… The reactor room is shielded by the water. Something you had in there once shouldn’t be overly radioactive and the fact that it isn’t doesn’t say anything about the dangers of radioactive waste.

    Even most active kind of waste everyone thinks of - spent fuel - consists from about 90% of useful material.

    What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the dangers of radioactive waste?

    Actually not.

    Actually yes.

    new nuclear power costs about 5 times more than onshore wind power per kWh […]. Nuclear takes 5 to 17 years longer between planning and operation and produces on average 23 times the emissions per unit electricity generated […].






  • That was my point, pretty much. The issue is that money that’s kept is useless for society, but if its value increases it gains potential usefulness for its owner. I’m not saying that ordinary people will stop buying food and I’m not saying that corporations are doing community work right now, but the world in which the rich get even richer without even spending their money on something will be problematic at best. The economy will crash while everybody will hold on to whatever moves they have.
