I gave multiple sources for things. You find a harder to find fact and act like that’s it. 1st I have to google country’s who moved from nuclear to green then I have to find emissions based on megawatt hour. Not only that but charts or I’ll have to read data sheets. It’s not like it’s a fact pushed publicly, like solar good nuclear bad.

All the elected officials want is to please the misinformed public to get re-elected. Teaching people facts is the best way to lose power.

I’ll find the sources tomorrow. This is like the Musk did not invent the hyper loop. Too much googling sources… why do I hate my self so much :(

It’s also building them and the land they displace. Also useless when the wind does not blow or it’s dark. You need to store the power in massive dirty battery’s, or you need other plants to take over. The data from places that have swapped from nuclear to renewable see a massive increase of emissions, while places that went hard on nuclear have the lowest emissions.

Dams seem to be top dog, but the land loss and you can only build so much of them.

Just search it. I’m at work on my phone so I won’t now, but if you can show me any counter information at all I’ll look it up when I get home.

As far as I know nuclear causes the lest amount of waste. The lest amount of deaths per amount of power made (sorry forgot the measurement they use). On top of that the waste is not sent into the environment it’s placed in a location we know of and have control over. Other good reasons like cost.

Once the media started fear mongering we were doomed to leave the best cleanest source of energy we have ever had. This has taken a real toll on the world today.

Well for power you got to pick your battles do you not. Unless your asking for just no power. You can destroy miles and miles of land for damns and wind. You can make solar but the pollution is worse than nuclear, or coal gas.

If you don’t want the cleanest energy type by default your arguing for the dirtier ones, or no energy.

No we just get tricked easy and reporters really don’t put the time into story’s they used to. For all I know they mine nuclear stuff easy with out much risk. A mask and some ear eye protection around the dust, with a shower you would be fine. Still we know other industries do what ever it takes.

It’s not that. The company hires the lowest cost group to do the job. That group does all the dirty. I mean they should be held accountable, but we the people don’t really care. One bullshit marketing campaign and we turn are heads like sheep. Carbon footprint anyone?
