We are dealing with what appears to be a bot attack on the site. If you're seeing this, it means we're making progress.
I guess NazitechBro got mad at all the bad comments (and the hackz on his site) and decided to take it out on CoPols….
If someone is going to that effort it means you're having an impact. So congrats!
I wondered if someone was making mischief on the site.
Nuclear vs. Solar – CAPEX & OPEX
A comparison of using nuclear vs. solar to deliver 1.4GW of baseload power
TL:DR; Solar is cheaper. Solar plus the necessary backup is a lot more expensive.
Placement is clearly the key and nuclear power is a tremendous solution to our planet’s energy needs . . .
. . . as long as the reactor is located at least ninety million miles from the nearest playgound.
Nuclear proponents like to say things like, "oh, the waste disposal is not that bad a problem, and anyway, it's solved." But they almost never acknowledge the *source* side of the equation – mining, extraction, and processing. See for example https://www.hcn.org/articles/contamination-threatens-the-last-source-of-clean-groundwater-in-west-new-mexico/
Provably worse than fracking for oil and gas. I'm not going to take any pro-nuclear arguments seriously unless the supply side environmental damage is addressed.
I haven't had any luck in getting David to acknowledge the supply side environmental issues. Maybe you'll have better luck.
David will not look at the supply side environmental issues because he can't really keep this distraction going if he resolves everyones' questions. The world is about to explode, and David wants to keep the conversation about nuclear power? Really, David?
Do you have a uranium lease out in Nevada or something?
So, what's a uranium mining project look like today versus one that was built in the mid-20th century with an unlined tailings pond built under the purveyance of the Atomic Energy Comission to build a nuclear arsenal as quickly as possible with no environmental concerns?
I mean, an IBM 7000 series was something in the 1960's but I'm not going give it as an example of modern computers capabilties.
With Trump's EPA I think you could not tell the difference.
Fortunately, tailings from uranium processing are regulated by the NRC.
I hope enough Senators hold the line and vote no on cloture today. Yes both options suck. But voting no means the Democrats in the Senate will stand up to Trump. Voting yes means they will accept whatever he tries. They may tell themselves they'll vote no next time. But each subsequent time it actually becomes harder to vote no after the previous yes votes.
I read that last sentence as "each subservient time".
Yes. Boil the frog now, or later.
Public opinion is like surfing: You need to time your stroked to catch the wave.
Well…we finally agree on something, but it looks like the Democrats are intent on handing the country over to the fascists. Crap!!
