Its just a bunch of nonsense that tries to drive a wedge between the left. Anyone with common sense can tell that Mamdani has a good heart and is looking to make real, impact impactful policy with human dignity at its core. Anyone who says otherwise at this point is a psyop or is engaging in the exact behavior that a psyop would. And driving a wedge against one of the few pro-palestinian politicians is zionist behavior.

Don’t worry, its just a psyop

Zei_squirrel is a zei_onist and a psyop

Ugh, if he was a communist dictator we would be getting, bare minimum, a handful of cool social welfare programs to go along with the dictatorial oppression

Sounds like neglect is the formula then

I straight up think people might start making EMPs in response to these. Image your doctor has them, would you feel safe?

I mean, if you read the article, they admit that they took the idea to a silly extreme to prove the point. But they did a bunch of math using global averages, so you should check your math against that. And they are not suggesting to actually only ever use solar and storage going forward. They were saying that new solar and storage is cheaper than new gas up to a substantial extent. Existing gas is a whole different comparison

Seems like this map accurately displays the poles at the expense of the continents

So energy remaining and radioactivity are separate. The isotope that it becomes has a decently long half life, but it might only be a few protons or neutrons away from something really radioactive.

I do believe that the fuel rods count towards that pile of waste. I think the US has laws or rules that make it hard or impossible to recycle these back into the good stuff, but it’s very doable. France does it to a high degree.

The economic advantage of SMRs is that when you make reactors in a location, the 1st is always more expensive than any following reactors. Just a reality of construction, permits, designs, etc. So if you have 4 reactors in one place, that’s pretty nice. They also have the advantage of being able to turn one off for maintenance and then having 2, 3, 4 other reactors in the same vicinity that can pick up the slack for the duration.

As for waste, yeah it’s the same problem. But it’s important to note that the volume of material is not that big. The entire volume produced by all us nuke energy ever takes up a football field stacked 10 yards high. All told, that’s a smaller problem than I ever thought.

I’m not a big nuclear advocate, I’m pretty mid on it. This is where I got all of the above information, an interview with the head of the US DOE loan program https://www.volts.wtf/p/nuclear-perhaps?amp%3Butm_medium=web
