“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
The remains of Russian (USSR) built Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
LLAW’s CONCERNS and COMMENTS, Sunday, (03/03/2024)
The last thing we need on planet Earth is more nuclear power plants. The idea behind these extremely dangerous radiation spreaders, filthy dirty waste creators, and essentially no better than the other non-renewable resource resources like oil, gas, and coal. The false belief that nuclear power can solve the global warming/climate change CO2 problem is pure nonsense.
Why is it that intelligent folks who think they are intelligent enough to run this country’s governments, including the federal one, can’t spend a day or two to learn the facts about nuclear energy, the already-known-in-advance futility of the attempt, and that the growing advocacy for it is really nothing more than false, fictitious, or apocryphal propaganda from the nuclear industries themselves from the mining to the refining, to the burning. Anyone who understands basic mathematics can clearly see why the concept of building more nuclear power plants cannot help but fail.
(See my “LLAW’s All Things Nuclear #556, Friday (03/01/2024)” Post titled “Carbon-Equivalent Emissions and Air Pollution (Lesson #1” (from just 3 days ago, and also posted back on #246, on 04/24/2023, nearly a year ago) to easily understand why the whole idea is nothing more than nuclear industry hot air, oddly, in its own way, sarcastically adding to global warming! (And, as an aside, Russia controls the industry, including the construction and the fuel.)
The truth is that we humans do not understand the dangerous intricacies of nuclear energy well enough to keep it safe, nor do we understand that nuclear energy is the 2nd most ignorant idea on the planet ever (next to nuclear weapons), and, practically speaking, it is also a non-renewable resource, the uranium fuel (U235) for nuclear reactors being mined much like a super-complicated coal mine along with a complicated milling and the ultimate refining process. Both of these nuclear products need to be shut down immediately and forever before it’s too late — even if it’s too late already. ~llaw
