The source you posted is highly biased against nuclear - and HEAVILY inflated the number of deaths caused by Fukushima, while strangely putting outrageously low numbers for the deaths from Chernobyl. You can look here: https://en

Arguing with an anti-nuclear activist is indistiguishable to arguing with an anti-vax or climate change denier. They are the same people who opposed all GMO food products despite the science.

There are a lot of "laws on the books" simply because there's no mechanism to go back and remove old laws. It doesn't mean they are relevant, enforced, or even still legal. Many laws technically stay on the books even

It actually happened in 1998, and the courts correctly dismissed the case. This was more of a case of the district attorney trying to punish some people and digging up an old 1973 law to do it because they didn't have a case. Now tha

That's because they don't know. Hospitals aren't reporting it. The conspiracy theories aren't useful. This is just not an airborne disease, so forcing a new national test tracking program is not warranted.

There was only one security camera on at the time with only a few frames of the plane before impact - but it's not good footage. I saw it a long time ago. Remember that this is in the time before cell phone cameras.

It was never unclear. The Administration knew the same day that it was Al-Quaeda. One of the stewardesses on the first plane to hit the tower called and told the control tower the seats the hijackers were in (2A & B), which led to thei

This means nothing if you don't factor in storage, or at least measure the CONSISTENT power output. These are just PEAK numbers that are totally useless when planning a grid.

In fact, there are NO studies that demonstrate that solar or wind AND STORAGE, are able to produce CONSISTENT power for a full year anywhere. The only studies you'll see are that they proved to be economical on a certain day, or maaayb

That does not discuss storage AT ALL. True solar with storage is not economical.

This is like saying that the solution to climate change is largely political and you don't see that changing, so you don't think you need to be part of solving that. In fact, it's quite exactly like saying that, because nucle
