Acting as if that wasn’t the point of the attack on Sanders and Warren, being unwilling to acknowledge that operating lifetime has forever been a fraud point with the industry… that is disingenuous. The reason is up to you to explain. I’ve already said my piece.
And yet, even after I asked, you refuse to point out the attack.
If you wanted to make that point, you should have made it, and not claimed that I wasn’t arguing in good faith for not making it for you.
…And yet, I’m the one who has been doing all the explaining, and whenever I ask a question, it seems to go unanswered.
They’re all safe, until they’re not
OOPS, we did something wrong, again, that we didn’t tell you about, until now
the next one will be better, we promise
That’s everything, though.
Your hydroelectric dam is safe until it fails and wipes out the village downstream.
Your oil well is safe until it starts spewing oil.
Your fracking is safe until it causes an earthquake.
Your coal plant… Well, that’s just not safe to anyone breathing the exhaust, period.
Walking out of the front door, as they say, creates risk. Nuclear creates different risks than other power plants, sure, but it’s absolutely not unique in the fact that it creates risks, and by no means are those risks impossible to mitigate.

The detail I haven’t heard unpacked yet in this conversation is: storage of spent fuel. We’re talking thousands of years of storage, and the very real concern that we possibly/probably didn’t get it as right as we thought. Any significant leakage into the ground or atmosphere would make our current environmental problems seem like child’s play.

I’ll have you know that suit is tailored…
I mean. Ahem. Yes, don’t take out loans from questionable men in suits, whether those suits are, in fact, exquisitely tailored or not.

What do you think about merging this other thread with the current topic? Given the name and when it was started, it seems possible that the two are maybe at least thematically related.

Good idea. I’m on it tomorrow. About to bed down. Remind me if I forget.

I guess the blackout plan didn’t help.
