Nuclear waste is a bigger threat to health than carbon dioxide in fact. That is truly a wrongheaded opinion, and one that you likely got from smelling the farts of the nuclear industry that has been on a decades long pr campaign to influence the weak minded, (that’s you.)
Comment on Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors
FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThat’s such a small, manageable concern compared to the damage that is done by fossil fuels.

Not even close to true. Nuclear waste is actually very manageable.
CannonFodder@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It is, unless it’s distributed in a plume because Texas environmental regulators suck.

That’s what the NRC is for.

And they have enough people to maintain and inspect the hundreds of thousands of reactors that are going to be built, if those small reactors work?
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
not hundreds of thousands. they are too expensive to be that common.
Kayday@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Well they don’t do any maintenance. And considering the plant only gets built if the NRC says so, I think they’ll manage. NRC doesn’t fuck around. It’s also not a good look to Trump’s base to deregulate nuclear safety; they’re historically the ones more worried about that.

The US has the most amount of data centers at ~5500. Not even anywhere close to hundreds of thousands.

Nonsense. We can just let the Free Market handle it
