Air pollution is a way bigger killer than radiation. It also makes us dumber. A sane society would be building nuclear power plants. https://patrickcollison.com/pollution

One issue with nuclear is that no one wants the waste. Nevada will never let it be stored at Yucca Mountain.

Waste is stored onsite. It’s super space efficient. Yucca Mountain is a pork project. Should have never happened.

I respect you, but this is just stupid. Plutonium’s Half-life being 20k years something, Uranium 234 even 200k years+. Please don’t even start with Thorium. Storing this on ground will end in a disaster. Not now, not tomorrow, but all that will 100% find it’s way into the ecosystem at some point in time. Breeding reactors have a definite use case for war. But this is not what you mean in your context I would guess.

I can barely read it, but it seems the data is off to the official numbers? Coal is e.g. 13% and not the big thing in the pic? Anyway, I think the past 10 years have shown in Germany it is possible to go into renewables. It actually works better than expected and we can do it without nuclear. It’s not the easy short way, but since when is the correct way easy. The green revolution is not something done within 10 years and I hope we will go further.
