- cygx 7y agoAt the very least on HN, people are quick to point out the radioactive material released by coal plants - I do not remember a single relevant discussion where it wasn't. Personally, I'm on board with getting rid of nuclear and fossil energy sources both, which appears technologically feasible to me (offshore windparks help with base load, flywheels can get you through the day and power-2-gas through the winter).
- pastage 7y agoIt does not get a free pass, coal pollution is one of the biggest issue of the environmental movement. As I said, I like nuclear so I think Germany and Japan are crazy to shut down their nuclear plants, but I can not blame them because I am not convinced by the arguments of the pronuclear movement.
