Anti-nuclear power activism is a fossil fuel industry op.
Wow so dumb! Yes, fuck progress and fuck nuclear energy! Let’s burn coal again like in the dark ages!
Shutting down the nuclear plants is probably the worst thing the Germans have done. At least it’s in the top3.
Genocide is def more evil, but the amount of coal and gas germans are burning will probably kill a lot more people.
That was sort of an asshole comment if we’re being honest with each other. We’re here talking about climate change, not WW2.
Germany’s history doesn’t just consist of: “It was founded, they built nuclear plants, then they shut them down and ran coal”
Fun fact: Coal Ash Is More Radioactive Than Nuclear Waste
No it isn’t and it will never be. Doesn’t matter how many time you repeat that lie.
The actual fact (very clearly told in the studies that are then brought up to justify the rediculous claim) is: Coal power plants 60 years ago (that’s how old the study is) spread more radioactivity via fly ash, then escapes through the massive concrete walls of a running reactor. That’s it. No mention of actual waste or anything else.
So coal power is more radioactive than nuclear power only if nuclear power would not create any waste at all and also not contaminate anything that has to be build back and cared for. So basically in a computer game where we you just click on it to remove it from your map, not in any reality.
Seriously has anyone actually read the shit you parrot or is there really a fundamental lack of ability to read beyond clickbait headlines?
PS: Also that radioactivity by fly-ash is based on the natural radioactity contained in earth and stone. Can you imagine the difference in radiation spread by you compared to the world around you? Yeah, there is none… with very small variations by which layer of earth you look at.
So basically you can also pretend that picking up a rock and throwing it at your head is me radiating my surroundings…
Actually that isn’t even true. Because decades of nuclear testing has actual incresed the radiation in our natural surroundings, so layers of earth buried for quite some time actually contain lower radiation. If they had done the same study just two decades later then that fly-ash would not even have registered against the normal radiation level around us.
Cool cool cool. I love the environment, unless it’s too expensive.
They’re playing the long game, at this rate they’ll soon have no winter to worry about, it will be 25°C in the winter and there’s no heating needed so no more energy demand spikes! /S
