this is a subject that the USA gov and China even agree on. It is such a shame westerners have such a negative reaction to nuclear energy. but it isn't as profitable as fossil fuels/selling new electric cars so :meow-shining:

here i thought we'd relentlessly bullied the skeptics off here but at least one survivor is hanging on

fucking conversations around nuclear waste are so asinine, it's a-ok to fucking bury everything else and forget about it, but the shit that literally has an expiration date on the danger is somehow a Grave Issue.

Yeah fucking talk to me about how much an issue a couple thousand tons of spicy dirt is while this country is burying hundreds of millions of tons of trash in the ground

solar panels or wind turbines aren't environmentally free either, those costs are just more readily externalised than spicy rocks

Easy for you to say when you don't live in the country that the uranium was mined in. We literally have piles and mountains of toxic waste from open pit gold and uranium mines.
