Also see resistance to nuclear fission.
Environmentalists have inadvertently shot civilization in the foot and served the interests of the fossil fuel industry by blocking expansion of carbon free nuclear.
In exchange, we've spent the last several decades dumping drastically more carbon in the atmosphere than was necessary.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoI'm a little annoyed we're 40 years behind on fusion, because a vocal group spent 40 years crying about fission. Chernobyl was a disaster, that was made possible by the Soviet gov, it was far more a knock on communism than it was nuclear energy. And yet... Here we are with Harvard grads arguing for the former and against the latter.
- squidsoup 3y agoThe Fukushima disaster has the same rating as Chernobyl on the Internation Nuclear Event Scale, and occurred in a highly regulated developed capitalist nation.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoYea, can you imagine if someone said those were the same thing? Good point though, that is what we’re up against.
