22·5 months agoI was explaining why it’s not a dilemma for the Russian government. You wrote “But…” and then made no counter argument, so I don’t see what you’re trying to say.
The question now is whether Russian authorities will allow him on the ballot.
The elections are rigged anyway.
Let’s hope that they don’t start gaining funding from international sympathizers.
Most of Europe’s far right is supported by Russia.
1·8 months agoYeah, you’re just hilariously out of touch with the scale of these projects.
Absolutely. I obviously vastly overestimate what’s involved with nuclear power: building a nuclear power plant, maintaining that plant, mining uranium, shipping it, processing nuclear waste, storing nuclear waste, etc. when in reality all one needs to do is to dig a shallow hole in the ground, dump the fuel rods there and it’s all done. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Germany decided to fuck our planet 40 years ago.
I know time flies but that more like 80 years ago.
Really I think your entire attitude here stems from a really big underestimation of how difficult large scale projects line geothermal boreholes and dams are, and how large these projects would have to actually be.
OTOH building nuclear reactors, keeping them safe enough not to blow up, and then handling nuclear waste: Piece of (yellow) cake! Digging a hole to pump some water in: So difficult. Digging a hole to definitively totally safely store nuclear waste: Sooo easy.
You will need a lot of really deep holes to make significant power in most places. Of course you can get to the mantle from anywhere on earth. That doesn’t make it practical.
Each hole needs to be only dug once and then generates heat for easily a billion of years.
Don’t be a pedantic shit.
How uplifting of a statement you made there. I guess I hit a nerve there.
Works when you have a lake on a mountain and a lake below the mountain. 90 percent of places? No such luck.
“The lake on the mountain is built upon a flat surface, requiring a dam around the entire perimeter.”
Building a roughly circular dam sounds not so hard.
Literally just in a mountain or deep underground. It’s been figured out
Funny how nobody does this then. The concerns by scientists about potentially contaminating ground water is just fearmongering then…
having to import a lot of dirty energy from abroad isn’t really helping much on the global scale.
Neither is outsourcing industry to Asia and then padding oneself on the back how few domestic emissions there are.
Having lived near such a facility
There is no permanent nuclear waste facility.
Industrial countries emit more CO2 than those that outsourced production to China (where the same amount of CO2 is then emitted). News at 11.
Wind is just as unreliable as support and hydro/geothermal are very niche forms of power that don’t really work at the scales needed to run large scale civilization.
Geothermal literally works everywhere where you can dig a deep hole and claiming that hydropower is niche is just an insane lie.
All green energy is intermittent.
I thought nuclear is green? Now you’re just saying the opposite of what you said before just to fit your agenda.
How come of all the countries mentioned in the Tweet screenshot all except France manage just fine with renewable energies? Funny…
Storage isn’t technologically feasible yet.

Keep trying to figure out storage so we can decommission them later
After all those decades of trying to figuring out where to store the highly toxic waste and so far nobody figured it out.
Does it still produce more emissions than solar when your have spin up the natural gas plant every winter because people need heat and the sun isn’t out?
Wind blows regardless of season. Geothermal is active around the clock. Hydropower works best in rainy seasons.
If nuclear waste is so harmless, how come since decades nobody on the planet has ever figured out how to get rid of the waste? Or are you the fist one, offering your basement for that harmless stuff?
That’s a lie. The statistic you’re skewing is about radiation near nuclear power plants under normal operation. It’s not about the radiation nuclear waste for many thousands of years. Exhaust gases from coal plants are very slightly more radiating than natural background radiation but the amount is so tiny, it doesn’t matter. (The CO2 is bad, though.)
So you’re storing nuclear waste in your basement because it’s so green and not contaminating the environment at all?
The sad thing is that Elon Musk is so pathetic, he’d actually do it.
for example a system using some sort of Alge
Wait, you’re making a big fuss over the type of natural photosynthesis we should use? Seriously?
People commenting against the carbon capture as featured in the article argue about using natural ways instead and “tree” is just a shorthand for some, just as I used the broad term “plants”.
Now don’t come and start splitting hairs like “But actually, algae are different from plants because the cells that comprise algae are not able to differentiate into different plant parts like stems, roots, and leaves, so I’m arguing for something completely different.”
Nope thats not how it works its a circle of Carbon unless we humans add it by burning literal carbon we have from the ground (coal) we need to put it back.
What is coal? It’s literally dead plant matter that didn’t decay in anaerobic environments and that’s what swamps are.
While I agree that artificial carbon capture should be researched, as others already said: it has little practical use until all electricity production comes from renewable sources.
