…Nuclear power is a huge waste of money…

…this is the scientific consensus on the issue.

A battery of tests were performed on the economics of mitigating the impending climate disater. These tests indicated that nuclear is a huge waste of money (p<0.05) (Blake, 2023)

Hahaha :)

lntl OP ,

If republicans were in the white house, we could have grown by even more percentages!! So many percentages… and the best ones too. People around the world would talk about how many great percentages we would have if we didn’t have Biden.

America is the land of the free: work harder and pull yourself up if you’re struggling. Your potential is unlimited.

lntl OP ,

this has been true for every consecutive president: Obama more than Bush, Trump more than Obama, Biden more than Trump. it has more to do with growth than whose in the oval office

lntl OP ,

legislation like this must be passed by congress. giving the president this authority is not democratic. could work in China though and they have plenty emissions

lntl OP ,

don’t get any ideas either! if you use direct action, you’ll be provided a prison cell in Cuba.

lntl OP ,

then what’s congress for?

lntl OP ,

yes, this is where the laws come from the president enforces. the president is an enforcer. a president who acts without congress is authoritarian

lntl OP ,

they can set and enforce efficiency standards, yes. do you think that’s going to fix us emissions?

lntl OP ,

What do you think that means? Said another way, what kinds of authorities do you think setting and enforcing national energy policy gives them? (Hint: Dictating efficiencies for equipment and appliances is one of their authorities)

lntl OP ,

At least I know something. You know nothing and assume everything.

U.S. Air Force Selects Fast Microreactor for Nuclear Power Pilot (www.powermag.com)

The Defense of Logistics Agency (DLA), acting on behalf of the Department of Air Force (DAF), on Aug. 31 issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) that selects the Santa Clara, California–based nuclear technology firm’s Aurora Powerhouse for its Eielson Air Force Base pilot and initiates an acquisition process to...

Haters gonna hate. Still though, they’ll need to be cordial if some of these critics are also paying Ukrainian bills. Being rude is the fast track to falling out of favor with foriegn taxpayers.

How China became the king of new nuclear power, and how the U.S. is trying to stage a comeback (www.cnbc.com)

China has 21 nuclear reactors under construction which will have a capacity for generating more than 21 gigawatts of electricity, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. That is two and a half times more nuclear reactors under construction than any other country....

lntl OP ,

I’ve got no reason to believe they’re doing anything dangerous. I found this piece which indicates that they did a review in the wake of Fukushima. Sounds like things were adequate but they also found things to improve. Do you have reason to believe China is not taking safety seriously in there nuclear energy program?

Following Fukushima, however, Beijing immediately suspended approval of all new nuclear power projects while it undertook a comprehensive safety review of existing and under-construction nuclear power plants, as well as research reactors and fuel cycle facilities, and developed its Twelfth Five Year Plan for Nuclear Safety. In June 2012, after gaining approval of the State Council in principle, the National Nuclear Safety Administration released drafts of the Nuclear Safety Plan (Chinese here) and the “Report on Safety Inspection of National Civilian Nuclear Facilities” (Chinese here) for public comment.

As discussed in the Safety Inspection report, the safety inspection took over 9 months and covered 11 areas of safety, including site selection and external event evaluation; flood and earthquake resistance capacity; extreme natural disaster prevention and protection; electricity blackouts and emergency plans; severe accident prevention and mitigation; environmental monitoring systems; and emergency response system effectiveness.

The report concluded that operating reactors “basically fulfill” China’s nuclear safety laws and regulations and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s most recent standards, that they have the capacity to respond to design-basis accidents and severe accidents, and that safety risks are under control. However, in spite of these conclusions, the inspection report and nuclear safety plan also identified areas for improvement. In particular, the nuclear safety plan lays out short- (by the end of 2012), mid- (by the end of 2013) and long-term (by 2015) tasks to strengthen safety for operating and under-construction plants, research reactors and fuel cycle facilities.

China moves to strengthen nuclear safety standards and moderate the pace of its nuclear power development

lntl OP ,

I get it, you don’t like China. They’re still a big player in global emissions and I’m still glad they’re not meeting their complete energy demand with coal/ng. You should be too.

The ability of chinese scientists and engineers to act in their roles without interference from the state is offtopic. If you want to talk about that, go make a thread about it.

lntl OP ,

Western intelligence should organize Chinese labor.

More dog owners are questioning vaccines like rabies after COVID (www.pressherald.com)

More than half of U.S. dog owners expressed concerns about vaccinating their dogs, including against rabies, according to a new study published Saturday in the journal Vaccine. The study comes as anti-vaccine sentiments among humans have exploded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic....

this headline is meant to get a rise out of readers. are these numbers greater than they used to be? we can’t say they’re on the rise without a prior measurement

lntl ,

the number is not in the article op posted. op didn’t post a link to the paper, my comment is on the article not the paper.

your tone sucks. people don’t deserve to be spoken to that way and your actions have consequences. do better.

lntl OP ,

I hear lots of things about China:

  • Genocide
  • Communist
  • COVID

For example

But I’ve never actually heard slavery before (at least when discussing present day China)

lntl OP ,

The piece seems to indicate they are and have been building lots of infrastructure for awhile now. Author claims this adjacent work helps brings cost down. (Probably because of an abundance of skilled labor, manufacturing, and supply chains)

Could be lax regs too I guess and it’s not like China doesn’t know about Chernobyl out Fukushima.

lntl OP ,

I was calling this genocide. Are they using these folks as labor for infrastructure projects?

lntl ,

wiseguy, eh? You know what I’m talking about and if you call the law something else in your region, good for you: you’re unique.

The law is the same: content hosts are not liable for illegal content if they don’t know about it.

NASA moves a step closer to supersonic passenger flights (www.cnn.com)

In July, Lockheed Martin completed the build of NASA’s X-59 test aircraft, which is designed to turn sonic booms into mere thumps, in the hope of making overland supersonic flight a possibility. Ground tests and a first test flight are planned for later in the year. NASA aims to have enough data to hand over to US regulators...

I understand what your trying to say, I just don’t think it’s true. The capitalist class came up with the intermediate steps, for profit, during the industrial revolution.
