Bullshit. If you can get the same amount of reliable power by just slapping up some solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries, then obviously the cost is not insignificant.
I’m thinking in practical terms how that still doesn’t happen that often, humans allocate assets, humans don’t behave logically (behavioural economics).
Nothing ever is going to be perfect and efficient, solar panels might get through vast price volatilities as well, installation costs hand already soared.
Then, at the same time, they’ll ignore the most bone-headedly obvious cause of nuclear’s failure: it’s just too fucking expensive.
So why did we subsidised so much expensive oil infrastructure. And at higher cost of life.
Humans don’t make economic decisions rationally. - Comment on We have the best shaped states, don't we folks 8 hours ago:

You joke but this def influenced my view of the world, and my ideals.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 8 hours ago:
It feels like it is otherwise we wouldn’t possibly use it.
Imagine dangerous drilling, all the complex refining, the mass transpiration systems around the world moving billions of tonnes, etc. It’s stupid and complex. The system to enable it was somewhat forced & def forced to maintain it, it’s well documented actually.

Yes, thats where the god-money scam/loophole comes in!
He’s just gonna give it to himself!

Same.
Also still mystified by what women like to hear like that.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 9 hours ago:
certainly
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 9 hours ago:
The same problems faced the oil industry too, with their drilling rigs & refineries, it’s just less in the media & more spread out (more projects).
Also 10s of billions is still insignificant for any power, transport, or healthcare infrastructure in the scheme of things - we have the money, we just don’t tax profit enough. And don’t talk about how the whole budget gets spent (private or public), where all the money actually goes, instead we get the highlighted cases everyone talks about.

Reality can be anything anyone says, you just gotta believe it really hard.
And then repeat the
liereality in service to the ones than benefit from it. - Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 10 hours ago:
You are saying we should be kinder to the less fortunate?
That’s a nice thought.

Renewables once surpassed fossil fuels, until some brave knight killed all the windmills.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 10 hours ago:
Yeah, oil oiled the “green” anti-nuclear protests.
You can tell thats how it was because the cops didn’t beat them as much (or in some big cases at all) as they do even the most insignificant anti-oil protesters.

The house burning probably happened more than one time too.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 10 hours ago:
Exactly.
The whole clusterfuck of mishandled Chernobyl cleanup & everything there before and after only claimed a few lives (via direct radiation tissue damage or just accidents).
Compare that with the daily average of thousands of killed in various (ultimately) oil wars.
But we don’t even get news about that.
But western propaganda sure showed us malformed babies & claimed it was from radiation - it turns out it was all bullshit, it was always a toxic chemical behind it (unregulated industries selling toxic shit by the tonnes - fertilisers, paints, even biological warfare).
We just take radiation super seriously and completely disregard toxic chemical pollution of eg industrial spillages. People just get to live in polluted areas and die sooner because of that. Instead of living for longer & less health hazards but with a little radiation.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 10 hours ago:
What consequences?
There are no consequences for animals in Chernobyl, not even to mammals living underground.People that didn’t leave the exclusion zone died of old age there.
Life on Earth had to deal with all sorts of radiation.
What caused mass extinction was ecosystem change, eg via global climate change.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 10 hours ago:
Storage isn’t that much of a problem.
Also it’s contained in specific areas, some nerds are bound to wanna reuse what we now thing of as trash/spent fuel. If it’s still radioactive after it just means it radiates energy, we just didn’t commercially learned how to harness it.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 11 hours ago:
Paraphrased but this is right.
And the people were taught to talk about the horrible nuclear accidents that killed a few but completely glance over the unimaginable millions perished in the name of oil, mustn’t even mention the mass extinction events we launched with oil.
We even spread exaggerated bullshit about radiation mutation (wtf? thats superhero comic books fiction!!) and cancer rates (only one really), ignoring how much overwhelmingly more of the both we get from fossil fuel products.

The system works not only as planned, but as excruciatingly maintained - it takes so much work to keep this clusterfuck soun alive at peak status quo of financial gains & wealth accumulation.

They have already done that, that’s how capitalism works. No course of action can get back from corps those trillions in profits, or make them reverse the damages an order of magnitude bigger than that.

Yes, this is correct.
You dont even have to be a math nerd to innately know this.
Like, I’m about to go to work & dispense imaginary fucks all day (because math-lord knows I have to real fucks to give anymore).
