very cool progressive hot take...
>>
>>16145920
Yes, that's true. Leftists in the west oppose nuclear power because nuclear power doesn't involve disrupting social norms or arresting the "decadent" capitalist lifestyles that make communism look bad.
>>
>>16146032
how does genociding the Palestinians solve climate change for the jews?
>>
>>16145920
that "person" ought to be thrown into a reactor core, but there is a decent argument that nuclear power reinforces authoritarian power structures, since it requires extensive capital investment and governmental oversight.

>and governmental oversight.
governmental oversight is what hinders it most. there isn't anyone in the and government educated enough to know the first thing about nuclear power, all they know is that they want to prevent inexpensive, pollution free energy from replacing the big moneymakers they currently have for energy production
>>
>>16147581
They also want to reserve the most powerful and best energy sources for their own armed military goons.
>>
>>16145920
Who the fuck actually cares? Its just a form of converting energy, why would you ask that
I mean, as far as I can tell, France ain't an oppressive government, even though they convert a high percentage of their energy via nuclear reactors
>>
Look up Galen Winsor's presentation on why we are stopped from having nuclear power.

>>
>>16147581
That doesn't change the fact that significant levels of oversight are necessary because of how dangerous it can be. No government will ever let civilians manage fissile material without careful oversight. And yeah, politicians abuse that oversight to suppress nuclear power, but a pro-nuclear power government would still have multiple agencies dedicated to managing it because people are scared of spicy metals (sometimes even for rational reasons)
>>
>>16145920
I was thinking recently about what would be the minimum size a nuclear reactor could be built and how much electricity would it produce over how long a time.
Could you build a reactor the size of a refrigerator for example that could power a family home for >10 years?
>>
>>16145920
Throw spent nuclear fuel into the sea.
>Cheap
>Logistically simple
>Safe

>>16150566
Something like those already have been tested for spacecraft, but radiation shielding can be thicker than you could fit in a fridge so I wouldn't want to stand too close to the thing. In space they would just shield 1 side to protect the spacecraft, and then let the rest fly off into space since it wont hurt anything

What does DAVOS say about nuclear power? They hate it, that's all you need to know.

people still think it's about what's best for us and "the planet" instead of money power and absolute control. this is amazing.

What absolute unintelligible nonsense. How did this idiot even convince his neuron impulses to generate such a idiotic social media post. Some people are far too gone and need to be lead to the pastures. This post may have just induced a psychotic snap in myself.

The irony is that the same debate was repeated in the 1970s, but at the time, the people who were pro-Nuclear were all the woke leftists, chrsitians, and neoliberal authoritarians, and the anti-nuclear people were all the communists, hippies, conspiracy theorists, Russia sympathizers, and anti-science schizos. Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon actually discusses the topic in his famous book Reason in Human Affairs, which was written at the time. These days, all the woke leftists and christian zionists oppose nuclear and all the so-called schizos and communists and neonazis support nuclear. That's why you have the US and EU dismantling nuclear reactors, while BRICS countries are building more of them. The specific policy positions have changed, but the general state of discourse has not changed much. In the 1970s anyone who disagreed with the mainstream position (which was pro-nuclear) was labeled an anti-American, pro-communist conspiracy theorists, and today in the 2020s anyone who disagrees with the mainstream position (which is now anti-nuclear) will be labeled an Anti-America, pro-Putin/pro-Hamas conspiracy theorist.

The positions change, but the normies will never want to debate or have genuine, good faith, discussions to figure out what po liucy would really be the best. These aren't treated as empirical problems subject to debate and discussion, and the collection and evaluation of evidence pro and con. Insteawd, the woke normies take a position, and anyone who disagrees with that particular position is a crazy weirdo anti-American neonazi conspiracy theorist.

>/sci/ hates nuclear power as it does solve climate crisis with right wing chud way
How is using engineering and physics a "right wing chud way"?
Perpetually maintaining the false premise of global warming in order to generate gigabux profits for energy companies seems way more "right wing chud" to me than going for a rational solution to the problem, but "the problem" doesn't even exist, global warming is just a meme.
>>
>>16153509
The US population overall kind of likes nuclear now, since right wingers are mad about high energy prices and lefties like anything that doesn't emit CO2
>>
>>16154260
I think polling indicates a 60/40 split in if they should build more plants, and congress is almost unanimous in pro-nuclear bills now
>>
>>16154260
Thats a shame because coal has pretty much been perfected to the point that it's only remaining emissions are CO2, which is beneficial to the planet
>>
>>16155763
Coal is too cost effective, efficient and clean. Thats why leftists hate it, they prefer dirtier more toxic and expensive energy sources that poor people can't afford, it gives them their smug sense of superiority and exclusiveness by pricing the poor out of the market
>>
>>16145965
Commie gobbledygook.
He thinks that the since the 'climate crisis' (a stupidly broad term encompassing everything from plastics in the ocean, to global warming, to coral reef bleaching) is a big multifaceted thing, that any solution which only addresses one part of it is inadequate.

Commies believe that all of their problems, and all problems in general, will be solved by their utopia. And that any other solution than utopia is counterrevolutionary.
So, for this idiot, only one thing can solve the climate crisis, not a series of solutions for each problem, but one singular bullshit solution that doesn't exist.
>>
>>16153509
holy shit.
What the fuck are thee jumbo fries?
Notice how the two hot dog option is only 370 calories more than the single hotdog option.

Using math that means that the jumbo fries, alone, are 1690 calories!
>>
>>16149024
Yes it's about disparity, which in the leftist's mind will always be the result of oppression despite all evidence to the contrary
>>
>>16154253
>How is using engineering and physics a "right wing chud way"?
Thats because of how much the other side truly loves and respects science
>>
>>16145920
Take him out and shoot him.
>>
>>16146341
And that’s a good thing.
>>
>>16156967
most of the calories in the fries are from carcinogenic sneed oils
>>
>>16145920

Pretty much admitting that the global warming meme has nothing whatsoever to do with concern for the environment and only exists as a means to forward the jews' white genocide schemes.

>>
>>16150526
Of course oversight is necessary, but forcing companies to spend tens of millions of dollars in regulation fees even before they’re allowed to present proposals for new plants to a community for their approval is ridiculous.
>>
>>16151478
Novel materials like borated polyethylene may allow for significantly smaller amounts of shielding in the future. But still, “fridge-sized” is overly optimistic for anything more complicated than an RTG
>>
>>16154263
And yet states are shutting down nuclear plants in droves. Iowa lost the DUAC facility a couple years ago and that was previously providing 20% of the state’s electricity. Yet it’s been replaced with more coal and oil (and a pitiful handful of wind and solar)
