Who is "we"? I'm simply impressed that despite hippies going extinct back in the 90's, "we" still don't have nuclear energy powering 80% of every single country

Who is "we"? I'm simply impressed that despite hippies going extinct back in the 90's, "we" still don't have nuclear energy powering 80% of every single country.
The only real pollution coming from nuclear power plants is hot water that is poured down the drain into the river which causes serious damage to ecosystem and if this bureaucratic bullshit was looked at seriously and all idiots kicked out (and preferably lynched), someone just may figure out that in winter, you need lots of hot water for, I don't know, heating lots of houses maybe.
And yes, not the hecking radioactive waste that can be buried deep underground where noone will ever be affected by it... Just remember that same should be done with the unrecyclable plastic which now deteriorated into microfibers, got into your rivers, seas and eventually into the fish that you ate last week, but isn't, because you do not actually care about real world problems and waste that in fact does ruin your health beyond repair.
- hulitu 4y agoI think you are trying to make people to use their brain, which is a lost fight. In my former country, warm water from electric plants was used for washing and bathing. But i think cooling it in a river is easier.
- tuatoru 4y agoFrom the article:- > For the advocates of Ostpolitik – the new “eastern policy” of rapprochement towards the Soviet Union and its allies including East Germany, launched the previous year under chancellor Willy Brandt – this was a moment of supreme political consequence. Schiller, an economist by training, was to describe it as part of an effort at “political and human normalisation with our Eastern neighbours”. The West German bureaucrats of the time were dangerously naïve hippies in pinstripe suits. They believed that by drawing Russia into trade with the West, it would inevitably become democratic and liberal. (They were warned, repeatedly, both at the time and throughout the following decades.) That was the "we". I hope "we" know better now.
- mayoi 4y agoYes they do, they know that it's okay to do things at other's expense and how easy it is... I'm not sure that's the "better" we need however.
