India will have nine nuclear reactors by 2024: Govt
- Gravityloss 5y agoThis is great news and will help the climate. India has made massive solar farms as well. And even more of both are needed down the line.
- vax1nat0r 5y agoBuilding nukes isn't going to stop people from throwing trash and sewage everywhere or farmers burning their crops.
- yosito 5y agoGreat for clean energy, maybe not so great for the India/Pakistan conflict.
- desi_ninja 5y agoPakistani is a war mongering unstable state. It will find a reason regardless
- lifeplusplus 5y agoblanket statements really show off critical thinking, don't they?
- naruvimama 5y agoConsidering how often Pakistan calls for nuclear war or it addresses Osama as a martyr, I would put it along side North Korea in terms of a global threat.
- lifeplusplus 5y agoLast I remember when Indian elections were near, it was India that attacked Pak, but failed and its pilots got captured. Who were later returned without further escalation on Pak side. Pulling stunts like that and risking ww3 over elections would seem to indicate Indian govt to be a bigger threat to world peace. Not to mention complete disregard of human rights by occupying kashmir and oppressing natives there.

- naruvimama 5y agoWeak states use terrorism. Strong states respond with military force.
- jamesmishra 5y agoBoth India and Pakistan already have nuclear weapons and capable delivery systems. I don't see how the peaceful pursuit of nuclear energy could make anything worse
- yosito 5y agoIf the nuclear force becomes unbalanced, anything could happen.
- lifeplusplus 5y agowell if conflict breaks out then these would be potential target and nuclear react meltdown is easy to trigger and outcome are humanity ending
- jamesmishra 5y agoI'm no nuclear weapons expert, but I doubt that a peaceful nuclear reactor is going to be a top target. It might just be easier to nuke an enemy's cities and military bases.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoI envy the other nations that have political bodies that are willing and committed towards building more nuclear power.
- pedopedopedo 5y agoCalifornia like the loser state it is just shut down a nuclear reactor. Gavin Newsom must be the dumbest motherfucker alive.
- cdeonier 5y agoThe comment seems to imply Gavin Newsom decided to shut the plant down-- but it's owned by a private corporation, PG&E. Did we expect Newsom to take control of the plant and keep it open? I can maybe see a case for policy change, but I don't see California being that different from other states in this regard. While I don't like the trend of closing nuclear plants, this isn't a straightforward decision just to "keep it on", from what I understand. There were seismic concerns for the plant, which is probably a worthwhile consideration given its location in California. Additionally, I think how the plant performed cooling (drawing from the adjacent ocean) would also negatively impact the local ocean environment, and that type of cooling process was being phased out of California more generally. FWIW, I'm a fan of nuclear, but I think it's worth digging deeper into underlying problems so we can see what the future solution may need to overcome.
